2009 is Out and 2010 is In! – Auf Wiedersehen
Even though this post may be written a day early, it doesn’t mean that the sentiment still doesn’t ring true! I hope everyone has had a great 2009 and a fantastic New Years!
For me, 2009 was a really fantastic year. Without a doubt, my biggest accomplishments were finishing up The Dude Registry, seeing my web design company really begin to flourish, and leaving the 9-5! I can’t tell you how happy I am that I got out of that job. Now to be honest, the job wasn’t ALL THAT BAD, but truthfully – It was killing me.
In other news, I know it has been a while since we’ve talked so I hope you had a nice Christmas. Mine was good but it was WAAAAY too fast. For my oldest kid, it was his first one where he could KINDA understand what was going on. And by that I mean he knew he was entitled to presents. (#):) Oh and check this out – Our holiday card for this year!
A Few Goals for 2010
In the past I’ve said that I’m really not one for resolutions, (since I believe that it shouldn’t have to take ONE DAY to change your life), but this year I wanted to take a second and just set up some goals for myself. First one being to really take my web design company to the next level where it’s bringing in the amount of money I want it to and I can get really picky about the clients I decide to take on. Secondly, I want to show a renewed interest in my own health. I think currently I’m about 190 lbs (at 5″10′), not taking my allergy shots, and overall I’m just disrespecting my body. That really needs to change.
But really, I can’t tell you how excited I am about 2010. For me, (and I believe for you too), it’s ripe full of possibilities which means there’s only one thing to do…
REAP THE WHIRLWIND!

Happy new year to you all
Great to see our respective blogs back in action at the end of Twenty O’Crime. Good luck on the weight loss, I started mine BEFORE Christmas so far so good.
As you know, my 2009 pretty much sucked a big one, but I’m of course glad yours was pretty rad. Here’s to 2010!

@Pete – In regards to the weight loss, great job so far. I think for me it’s going to be difficult at first, but I just need to get in a routine (esp with the exercise).
And yeah, I know 2009 a was challenging one for you (to say the least). And even though I don’t know exactly the kind of relation you and your dad shared, from everything I’ve seen and heard it seemed a lot closer than a lot of other sons get to enjoy (myself included).
So before the Twitter Gods come after me for using too many characters in a reply – Happy New Year and cheers to you mate! Also cheers to your Mum and a big cheers to your Dad!

Good luck with 2010 Bush. I have goals of sorting out my debt and getting some big money clients under my belt… oh and making a good $1-2k a month from passive income.

@Forest – You too man and nice to see you! And I think a lot of our goals are very similar… Though I’m lucky in that I think if I play my cards right (and get a sprinkling of luck), I think my first two clients of 2010 may end up keeping me financially stable for the entire rest of the year! If THAT happens, I’m hoping to spend some more time working on passive income sites and perfecting my craft so I don’t have to be so “lucky” with clients for 2011!
