2010 was really good year for me. It was the year I took control of my life and MADE things happen. My backbone got stronger because I was tired of watching people around me thrive while I was struggling to make ends meet.
Going into 2010, we were living on a tight, tight budget. There was no splurging on anything. Going out to dinner was for special occasions only and if those jeans didn’t have a hole on them or those shoes still fit, you won’t be getting a new pair until you HAD to. There was NO extra spending beyond bills and I’m talking car payment, house payment, water, electric, ect. The basic everyday bills. Thank God there weren’t any credit card bills to have to worry about.
I was so tired of not being able to enjoy the hard earned money. I was working my behind off on the computer, but not making any money. I had self taught myself and was savvy in social media, so I took ownership over my talents and put a price on my knowledge. I ended up with a full time salaried position as the Community Project Manager of a social media marketing company called Collective Bias and my life changed. I became a WAHM utilizing all of my online talents at 110% and it paid off.
I plan on owning 2011.
I set goals in 2010 and and achieved them. I focused and did not give up. I saw myself succeed. I got a taste of awesomesauce and now I crave it.
2011 will be better that 2010…I can feel it. I WILL Own it!
I doubt I will own my own network like Oprah, which launches today by the way, I’m not at that point in my life just yet, but I do have some dreams and desires that I plan on owning.
