I have a goal I want to reach by the time November rolls around: I want to be working from home again. I was thinking about Ian's new school placement come August and the cost of after-school care, plus child care for an infant, and that just doesn't seem to warrant the paycheck I make! I'd basically be working for childcare.

I have one person whom I'm going to be doing some contract marketing for in a few months. I've shown her some of my past advertisements and she really liked them, so she's going to hire me when she's ready to launch her practice. But, that certainly isn't going to be enough to carry me through a lifetime, so I'm going to have to find a way to market myself starting now and see if there's any hope of me making a go at that. The problem is that I'm no good at marketing myself; just other things.

I don't even know where to begin, especially since I have no education on the subject; I'm completely self-taught!
