Evaluating 2009

After spending some time in Madrid with my boyfriend, it’s time for the year reflections. 2009 has been an amazing roller coaster ride for me. It was a year full of ups and downs and eventually, the ride took off.

These have been my achievements for 2009:

Hitting the $10,000 income mark
Finally realizing my passive income dream by partnering with local businesses by sharing my expertise with them
Launched consultancy business by sharing the experience of my local businesses
Finally did my first marketing plan for 2010 and has a new business idea coming up

In April 2009, my boyfriend returned to Spain, Madrid and we made a promise to meet in September. With a new business that was making some profits, I was faced with the urgent need to make enough money to live comfortably in Spain by September.

In May, I met some business partners, expanded my businesses and corporate accounts started falling into my lap. Closed 6 corporate deals within 2 months and exceeded my income targets with the total income.

Lessons learned:
