2021 Business Goals!

Not only is it a brand new year, this week marks FOUR years since Amanda Wose Photography became an official business! It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in just four years, and yet I still fully believe that the best is still ahead of me. I’ve got some big goals for my little business in 2021, and since I’m a huge believer in manifestation and putting things into the universe, today I’m sharing them with you!

2021 Business Goals

  1. Welcome 16 new couples into the AWP family (I welcomed one new couple this weekend, so already chipping away at this goal!)
  2. Book a destination wedding in France or Italy
  3. Launch an online print shop for my travel and floral prints
  4. Attend the Abundance Workshop
  5. Blog at least once a week and keep up with my Pinterest growth experienced in 2020
  6. Reschedule my 2020 trip to Paris and Provence, and coordinate shoots while I’m there
  7. Host the AWP internship program again (this was an unexpected 2020 accomplishment that I LOVED!)
  8. Schedule site visits for bucket list venues in the DC area and coordinate a styled shoot with local vendor friends
  9. Upgrade my 35mm and 85mm lenses
  10. Reach 3,000 followers on Instagram
  11. Attend a large scale styled shoot
  12. Book more US destination weddings and portrait sessions
  13. Get featured in a major national publication
  14. Read one business-related book per month
  15. Attend a retreat
  16. Make more vendor friends and continue to grow the friendships I already have (this industry is lonely sometimes!)
  17. Continue to grow the branding and mentoring side of AWP

There you have it! This list makes me feel excited and nervous all at the same time, and I can’t wait to see what this year has in store. Fingers crossed that I’m back here a year from now, crossing each of these items off the list!
