Merry Christmas everybody! Another year have passed and another +1 on your age. Time goes by really fast doesn’t it? I’m writing right now, midnight of christmas 26th of december, because I can not sleep. I just thought that I might write something of things I learned this pass year. Maybe its not something that you’ll be interested in reading and its not about making money or affiliate marketing. So bear with me for this time around.

I wanted to point out things I learned this year. First thing first is about business.

Business

Have you watched the video about making money online? It’s one of the best video you can find about making money online. A lot better and true than John Chow’s blog and what he ate for dinner. The moral lesson here is to just do it. Solve a simple problem and you can make money out of it. It doesn’t have to be a big bang at your first launch. What you want to do is to focus on making it better and better in each iteration.

A nice read about iteration and online business was created by the people at 37signals, you might want to check them out here.

If you’re starting to have a business on your own. Be prepared of the consequences. Once you enter entrepreneurship its a whole new world. To summarize all of it, let me explain both sides. A worker and an entrepreneur.

Worker

• Have night outs and party
• Have vacation at least 1 week a year (paid)
• Have coworkers to hangout with
• Monthly income stable
• All in all — YOU HAVE A LIFE

Entrepreneur

• No night outs. No Party
• No vacation.
• No one to hang out with (if ever there’s free time. Friends are at work)
• Risky. Income NOT Stable
• Emotional rollercoaster and stress
• All in all — YOU HAVE NO LIFE

Its the freedom why some people choose to become entreprenuer.

Personal Life

I’m an entrepreneur, single and have no life. =) This year, I fell in love with guitars… Very much in love.

Questions I Would Like To Know The Answer

There are lots of questions I want to know the answer that came into my mind this 2009 but yet to know the answers. These are:

• What’s up with guys taking nursing degree? Nobody (especially men) wants to wake up in a hospital bed greeted by a guy.
• Why do Filipino TV shows suck?
• What makes life meaningful?
• Why nobody told me that guitars are awesome?

If you know the answers to some, please do share your wisdom with us.

Plans for Next Year

I plan to travel next year. Explore other places other than the four corners of my office. Meet new people, women and food. To where, not sure. I’ll post it here when time comes. I’m also learning forex trading and hope to benefit from it. Forex trading matches the style of work at home/online business. Giving me more free time to do things while my money doing the work for me.

Another plan is to double my company’s revenue next year.

Live and enjoy life to the fullest. Experience things that I’ve never experience before.

How about you? What did you learned this year and what are your plans for the next year?
