One year's difference.

http://www.warriorforum.com/mind-war...depressed.html

That was me last December.

In the last year I started my business, had a successful WSO and created a website. I had some bumps and learned a lot about providing a service. I learned to shift my mental focus from what I can get from people, to what value I can provide to people.

Last year I was barely able to buy christmas gifts for my daughter. This year I have a savings account for the first time in a long time.

I landed a major offline client and I am picking up my final payment from them next week that will pay off the remainder of my credit card debts. I'm not rolling in dough, but I am making enough that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even after losing most of my stuff in a house fire in July, I regrouped, found a roommate and continued to press forward. This year was about getting on my feet. I've had no life, no girlfriends, I don't go out with the guys. I work all day and all night but it's worth it.

Next year I want to expand my services and marketing efforts so I can eventually quit my day job. I also want to learn how to generate passive income.

Thanks to all of the people in this forum who keep posting inspirational posts. You guys give people like me the inspiration to keep moving forward. Here's to even better things in 2011!
