Happy New Year everyone! Despite the economic downturn, 2008 was a record year for me and I’m looking forward to bucking the trend again in 2009. I got some big plans for this year and I can’t wait to start on them.
It’s amazing how fast a year comes and goes. It only felt like yesterday when I started this blog to ramble about whatever was on my mind. Never in my wildest dream would I have imagined it would get this big. Many people ask how I did it. My answer has always been the same – have fun at what you do and never give up. Even if this blog makes nothing, I would still be blogging because this is what I do for fun. It’s just a bonus that the blog made over $400,000 last year.
Last night, I asked my Twitter followers to send in their New Years greetings. I was going to post it at midnight last night but the server that powered the Twitter script went down and didn’t came back until now. Better late than never I say. Thanks to everyone who sent in Twitter New Years greetings!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you make 2009 your year to shine.
