2009 what it will bring

Glad to see the back of 2008, not the best year personally or professionally so goodbye and good riddance and welcome 2009.

2009 will see, all being well the birth of my first baby, I have a step daughter who is very special to me but we are expecting our first (and last) baby in June this year. I have so far been pretty cool about it all but started reading a book last night called “Blokes guide to pregnancy” and it scared the hell out of me. In  a nut shell my life is over, I will never have any spare money or time from now on. Well I am going to look at this differently, its an amazing gift, one that we both wanted, it will enrich our lives and give us untold happiness, sure money will be tight but it has also has focused me on more important things like working harder and securing all our futures. 2009 is going to be an amazing year, I just know it.

Mobile Tech Addicts site is really taking off, its only been live since June last year and we are averaging over 5000 visitors a day, not bad at all, I really enjoy doing it and have managed to get some great people involved who are all inspired by mobile technology. My free time will take a bit of a hit when the baby’s born but I am happy that I have a great team of people to fill in the gaps.

I am also changing my role at work, previously I was looking after contractors but from now on I am going to be responsible for consultant sales and specifications, this entails giving presentations which to be honest I really hate and lack confidence, but I put myself forward for it as there is no better feeling than overcoming one of your fears and beating it, lets hope I can.

So my goals for this year are:-

Work hard and have a really successful year in business

Look after my family and give them what they need

Enjoy life
