New Year, New Issue

Putting out a magazine is kind of like having contractions during labor: There's this eerie feeling of calm, and then suddenly the pressure starts mounting until you don't think you can bear it any longer, and then WHAM-O!... The pain is gone, you're breathing a sigh of relief, and then you immediately start worrying about the next contraction -- or in this case, issue deadline.

For those who don't already know (and why don't you? sign up on our mailing list, silly!), the Jan/Feb Issue of WHY magazine is live and features all new stories written exclusively for people who work out of their homes, including:

• 10 tasks you can farm out to a VA right now;
• 4 ways to pull yourself out of a creative slump;
• 7 cheap ways to get folks to find your website;
• 4 tips to haul the dead weight out of your inbox;
• 6 reasons why social media can rock your business world.

As always, a special thanks goes to this issue's sponsor, TheWebServant.com, which offers design and coaching for service professionals and growing companies.

I'm not sure how I'm going to celebrate this post-issue calm. Do a few loads of laundry? Clean out my bedroom closet? Pay my (gulp) bills?

Maybe I'll just start working on the next issue...
