Hey, peoplez :-)

How are yee? How's your year been so far?


I was looking back on my earnings post for 2010 and one of the things I said was:

"This year, for me, is all about TAKING ACTION and CONQUERING FEARS. Life is shy; I need to stop waiting around for it to make the first move."

Well, I don't think I quite managed that, not as much as I should have - I don't think I explored anywhere near my potential, online and offline - not even 40% of it, and that's me being generous. Fear continues to play a HUGE part in the decisions I don't make, in the actions I don't take. It's something I've struggled with for some time, year on year. I almost don't want to think about what I want to achieve this year for fear of disappointing myself. You see? The fear thing again.


Anyhoo, on a better note, I made more money online in 2011 than I did in 2010 :-)

My earnings were a bit more varied in December which I was quite happy about: the new blog commenting gig, couple more survey and GPT payouts, Squidoo, article writing. Plus my main blogging client gave me a $50 bonus for the holidays - was super surprised and chuffed with that. :)
