2005 Year in Review
Goodevening Everyone,
I have to admit I haven't written as many entries as I should have this year in 2005.
When I look back on this year, think about the previous years etc, I can some up 2005 as my hardest year yet.
2006 doesn't look like it's going to be any easier, but atleast I'll have all of the skills to handle it, courtesy of 2005.
The bottom line is when I look back at 2005 and all of the key events, it was one really hard year for me, filled with a lot of challenges and things that to be honest, I'm surprised I got through alive! I had all kinds of problems, every problem imaginable, I experienced it this year.
But lets put all of life's bullshit aside for a second.
There were some good things, there were some awesome 21st B'day parties, including my own which was just absolutely perfect, and I was just so honered to have so many great friends there that night.
So the parties were great in 2005.
In 2005, I first moved out to a place on my own, I've done all of the living by yourself things, like cooking, cleaning, washing, changing light bulbs, losing house keys etc, the whole hog.
Business wise, the bottom line in terms for dollars didn't really improve that greatly, in fact it probabally went a bit backwards to an extent if you consider the additional liabilities, but the customer base grew, the opportunieis have grown massively, and at the end of the day, next year I'll be a director in 2 businesses, one which I will wholey own, and another which I will hold a majority stake in, my Mobile IT business will cover from Coffs Harbour to Tweed, and as a result is likely to tripple in growth, the biggest and most important thing is for us to obtain some decent size business contracts which I'm confident will occur in 2006.
The fact is that 2006 should be the time when my efforts start paying some sweet dividends and when I can devote a bit more time to improving my golf game!
Socially, things didn't change much, I definetely spent a lot more time going out and enjoying life this year which was good, I did spend some time with some girls. I didn't really get into any propper relationships, which to me kind of sucks, but there is some potential hanging around at the moment, and I'm going to work really hard to try to pull something off soon.
One of the lessons I learnt this year is that people don't really change, I mean, I had a lot of old friends this year, pull the same bullshit that they pulled years ago, it's something that there's a general agreement on, and that is that people really don't change. Kind of unfortunate, but shit I had to get wise on that one sooner or later.
Anyway, 2005 for my friends and people around me, I feel had sort of a similar vibe, just all the usual shit, maybe some of my friends have it a bit more cruisier than me, but hey, that's the price I pay. Apart from Ian who broke his collar bone, I can't really think of any major setbacks for most of my friends.
Highlight of the year for 2005, would have had to have been the december Green Day concert in Sydney, I mean it was an experience of a lifetime, really awesome, and it was just a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them live.
So, regrets for 2005? Hmmm, not really, The only regrets I can think of is some time I spent on girls that really didn't deserve my time, I think for 2006, I need a new motto or approach to women, something along the lines of just go for it, go nuts or ditch the bitch. I mean, I can't just be nice and not get anywhere, I got to either say hell yes or hell no. Any in between decisions drag issues on and frankly waste time, but I guess, it's like that with everything, I mean, I can think of other minor stuff I've done this year half arsed and I can see that it hasen't really gotten too far.
I think my motto for 2006 should be "what the hell, just go for it" I mean, I'm always trying to push myself, and just do things and just go for it, I say it every fuckin year, I need to be more spontanious, and more willing to go with things, rather than be indecisive or doing something half arsed. I mean sure I've improved this year, but shit, I mean, I had a good couple of opportunities the other week where I had myself on the line and I just couldn't make a decision at the time, I couldn't just go for it and take the risk.
Once again as I said I've been improving! but not enough as far as I'm concerned!!
I need to take things to the next level.
And so I think it's time to start looking at the goals for next year...
General Life goal: Everything I think about doing, I need to say fuck it, and actually do it! Speak my mind more, I mean, just a lil bit more than I already do. Not too much more but.
Business Goal: Wipe off all long term debt by mid year. Have several large permanant business contracts, have a the new communications business growing at insane levels and making me lotsa money. Have a solid bunch of people around me that can help make my ideas reality.
Physical Stuff: Get a gym membership by Feburary and start using it!
Chick Stuff: Get a long term gf(first goal should fix this one).
If I can pull of that stuff 2006 will be perfect in my eyes.
I've got to get on top of life, and I really want to start making a difference, I'm over having shitty new years resolutions that don't get finished. When I look back at my last serious attempt it was very effective but, the last attempt involved excersise and kick starting my succssful mobile it business, and I pulled that off, so this yeah, I'm going to really work extremely hard and make things happen.
I know what I'm capable of, and I really want to start making everyone else know what I'm capable of too.
2006 is going to see a new me, better than ever, improved, stronger, faster, sharper than ever, but I think most importantly someone who isn't afraid to be a little crazy and enjoy life, because putting everything aside, if you're not enjoying life than there's not much point being alive, and I mean, I've set myself some big challenges, but I need to remember that I've got to enjoy life along the way because if I'm not then it's all for nothing in the end.
Goodnight, and Goodluck.
Best wishes for everyone in 2006.
