Greetings All,
Feeling a bit sad saying good-bye to 2009 (though it’s been not the easiest year we’ve (as well as the whole world) had. As the end of 2009 approaches, I find myself reflecting on the past year, and those who have helped grow our business, many thanks to you all staying with us and supporting us.
Every year, I think long and hard about wishing you, my other customers and subscribers a Happy New Year since it’s not very politically correct.
Know that my wish for you is not based in any specific religion; rather, it is a wish for a happy, healthy, and prosperous holiday – no matter what your beliefs may be!
It is also a wish for 2010 to be your best year EVER so that you can truly live the life of your dreams, whatever that means to you!
When you think back upon the 2009 year, hopefully you have some high points that you remember fondly.
For many, 2009 is actually an odd and challenging year, lots of things happened, the economy went to crap, till now, we still not sure whether we are in the recession or out of recession.
The guru game, lost few players, they said they will teach you to make a fortune online, but turn out they just quietly gone. People are tired of “gurus” who just suck money out of their pockets, people are sick of the “recession” hype, and they’re ready for a REAL change!
FTC, on the other hand, issue the new rules toward bloggers, internet and affiliate marketers … strange and odd things just on and on happens in the year 2009 etc.
Even though there are many negative side of the economic slowdown, but let’s switch the attention and don’t focus on that!
For the online business industry, 2010 means we all need to roll up our sleeves, stop believing the get-rich-quick-push-button-riches-dark side-guru BS and go “old-school!”
There’s a change in the air for 2010.
I think 2010 going to be a huge year, it is going to be a year that will rock the internet marketing world, it will be the back to basic year to make money online, and no one will care about what guru says.
Content, Traffic and Customers are the three keys to make you success. Great content you generate for yourself, drive the traffic to your websites and blogs, taking care of your customers – that’s how you make money online, that’s the only secrets.
In addition, for in case, in the year 2009, If you:
* got laid off, then it’s a great opportunity to start your own business in year 2010
* living arrangements have been forced to change, it’s a great opportunity to make friends with new neighbors as well as a chance to reorganize to accommodate smaller dwellings
* can no longer afford the entertainment you used to take part in, it’s a chance to try new things. Remember that families in the 1800′s spent their time together by reading and telling stories out loud, singing and making music within the family. You can try that as well.
No matter what the economy has brought into your life, you are still ALIVE! You still have a computer
and it’s still connected to the internet, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading my message.
What I want to say is that – be grateful for these and the other blessings you have and stop dwelling on what you don’t have!
In doing so, you’re likely to be even more creative in making ends meet! You’ll find yourself undoubtedly be happier, everything will “feel” less stressful. You’ll be able to cause a chemical reaction in your brain that will let you see the abundance of what you DO HAVE instead of the scarcity of what’s not there!
If you find it is hard to do, or if you need company, we have lots of friends here can cheer you up, the only thing that from your side is to take action, knows what you want and be who you really are.
On the other hand, think outside the box when it comes to making your dollars go further, which means finding new ways to bring in more while at the same time, finding unique ways of spending less.
For example, if you haven’t yet finished your shopping and you are looking for a way to buy gifts for 5 or 6 people but you only have enough for 1 decent gift, take a look at Gifts Helper.
If you are good in making gifts by yourself, instead of buying them, you could make it for each of the remaining people on your list, you would also:
1. Open an account at Twitter with your gift recipient’s name as the ID
2. Add a short bio for the person, make it something that would bring tears to their eyes and let them realize that you think of them
3. Further personalize their new Profile by adding their picture and creating a custom background just for them, you can create something similar like mine one.
4. Print a nice message on some colored paper and include the link and logins to their very special “gift”
All this will take you only a few minutes for each person on your list! And you can sell your gifts to others on the internet as well.
So if you’d like 2010 to be the year you finally stop dreaming about owning your own successful business, and actually start doing it, take the first step – ACT.
Make the 2010 the best year ever, whether it is in the online business or actualizing the best of yourself.
May the coming year be happy, healthy and prosperous to you all! We love and appreciate you.
Enjoy your holidays! I’m looking forward to serving you further in 2010 and beyond!
To Your Abundant Success.
God Bless YOU and YOURS.
Till next year 
Cheers
