Reflecting Back on 2010 – ‘Twas A Good Year

12


Tweet




It’s half-way through December and this beautiful year is coming close to an end. The festive season is here and everyone is more happy and jolly this time of the year.

Now is the time to reflect back on the year, think about all the good and bad times you had, what you learned and what you are thankful for.

It’s also time to make resolutions and plans for the new year, but I’ll make another post for that just before the new year begins!



My Good & Bad Times of 2010


  • Travel

    I celebrated the last new year’s eve in Amsterdam with one of my best friends and my cousin. It was awesome, full of snow and fireworks. (This year I’ll be in Cape Town, which will have a nice 30C or higher temperature).

    I spent the first 5 weeks of the year traveling Europe, staying in the heart of Amsterdam in an awesome apartment with Glen.

    After Amsterdam, Glen and I traveled through Europe by train and one of the coolest places we went to was Paris. I ate snails for the first time and wasn’t impressed by the taste.

    In August, I went on an awesome trip to Europe once again. I spent six weeks traveling and visited awesome places like Amsterdam, Nice, Prague and Monaco. It was totally off-the-hook kickass!

    Prague and Monaco were new additions to my world travels and I’d never been there before. Prague is a truly beautiful city and rather cheap to stay in. If you have the chance to visit it, don’t even think twice!

    Monaco will blow you mind. It’s a small little country on the coast just next to France. The richest of the rich stay there (tax reasons mostly) and Ferarris are the norm. Every single type of hot and expensive car you can imagine is just parked on the streets there. People have yachts multiple times the size of my house!

    Luckily, lunch is still affordable and needless to say I had a super cool time there!




  • People

    I met dozens of incredible cool people, both online and in real life (IRL).

    I had a good time with girls all over the world, and currently have an awesome girl I’ve been seeing the last months. I’m lucky to have some really good friends who I’ve had countless great times with this year!

    I’m thankful for awesome family who are very supportive and loving.

    I’ve made solid friendships and connections with many awesome people online, who I’d like to thank here: (Forgive me if I miss some of you, it’s not on purpose!)

    Mars Dorian, Mike Donghia, Annabel Candy, Carl Harvey, Santiago Rial, Tia Singh, Steven Aitchison, Parker Lee, Srinivas Rao, Maren Kate, Dragos Roua and Neils Hermus

    I’ve gotten to know many others and you know who you are! Thanks for being awesome and I hope we stay in touch for many more years to come!




  • Work & Business

    Work has not been so easy, and business hasn’t been all good this year but nevertheless I’m still here and learned from it all.

    I’ve made great progress with growing Upgradereality.com and with my other sites and projects, and this has ultimately led me to the decision to spend the entire next year building my online business to the point that it will earn me a full-time income and allow me to live life how I want to.

    Emotionally I’ve been up and down like a rollercoaster, mostly because of the uncertainty and frustration with work. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about EFT and meditation techniques, and realized that the only thing I can do is accept the things I cannot control and not let it affect me personally.

    I’ve got a great plan to build my online business for the next year, I’m going to work hard and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.




  • Music

    When I hear a new song that I really like, I listen to it on repeat for hours, days and weeks even.

    Here are some of the songs that I listened to so many times in 2010 that some might say I’m crazy:

    Drake,Kanye,Lil Waye,Eminem – Forever
    Drake – I’m Ready
    Swedish House Mafia – One
    David Guetta – Memories
    Jay Z, Rihanna – Run This Town
    Lil Wayne, Drake – Right Above It
    Jay Z, Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind




We’d Love to Hear Your Story!



So that was me, and my 2010 year summed up in a couple of paragraphs. I had a great time this year, experienced a huge amount and grew a tiny modest bit wiser overall.

I’ve also told you what my plans and resolutions for the new year will be (build a successful online business, eat healthy, exercise lots, hang with friends and family). Oh, and I’m going to give professional modeling a go and atttend all castings I get requested for. Maybe you’ll see me as the face of major campaigns soon. Who knows :P

What about you?

We’d all love to hear how your year has been, what your ups and downs have been, what you’ve learned and what your plans for the new year ahead will be!

If you’re not shy, then write it in the comment section below this post.

If you’d prefer to keep it confidential, just send me an email and I won’t share it with anyone.






A Special Holiday Offer for Your Benefit!



This year I’ve created my very first products, namely the Upgrade Reality ebook and my cooking course – Easy Healthy Dinner Recipes. (Which have sold dozens of copies already!)

The main purpose of these two products were to help you improve your life and help you become happier, healthier and to show you that it’s possible that you don’t have to settle for a life and job you hate.

I know it can be difficult to justify spending money on something that claims to make your life better, but trust me, if you are not happy with areas in your life (relationships, health, body, business, money etc) then it’s worth learning how to change that.

As a special holiday offer and to say thanks to all of you for supporting me and reading Upgrade Reality, I’ve decided to bundle the Upgrade Reality eBook with Easy Healthy Dinner Recipes for just $27 (The usual selling price is $64).

The Upgrade Reality eBook is a 122 page guide about overcoming personal obstacles in every area of your life, written from my own experience.

Easy Healthy Dinner Recipes is a complete instructional cooking guide to learn to cook delicious healthy dinners in 10 minutes or less. (PDF and Video tutorials for each recipe).

How To Buy:
All you need to do is purchase the Upgrade Reality ebook for $27 and I will send you your username and password for Easy Healthy Dinner Recipes.

Needless to say, my full 60-day refund policy applies. If you’re not happy with your purchase for any reason, just send me an email and I’ll not only refund your money, I’ll let you keep the products for free!









I will still send you updates from time to time over the holiday season, but I want you to be out there and enjoy the last days of 2010.

Spend it with your loved ones, take some time to reflect on your own life, do the things you love doing and eat lots of delicious food!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Best Wishes and Take Care Y’all!
Diggy

P.S. Thank you for your support! I really appreciate having you as a reader and I will do my very best to keep providing only the best possible content and tips that you can use to improve your life!

Be sure to stick around in 2011 as it’s going to be a fantastic year for you and I both!

    I haven’t reflected much on 2010 yet, as I’m currently on vacation in Lake Tahoe. However, the one thing I can say I’m absolutely proud of is the growth and establishment of the Yakezie Network of personal finance and lifestyle bloggers!

    Furthermore, our Yakezie Scholarship initiative on going now is what really is making me tick.

    Business wise, there’s always next year!

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Hey Diggy, happy holidays man!

    Good times or bad, it will come down to what you do about it. You know you have the smarts to make it all happen. Like Gary V says, you just gotta crush it. Keep doing what you do!

    On a music note (pun slightly intended), you might like the song Opposite of Adults by Chiddy Bang… or maybe my friends and I are just crazy :)

    Cheers,

    Brandon

      Hey Brandon!

      All the best in 2011!
      Our time to shine!

    Hey Diggy,

    It is great to hear your story over the past year. I’m glad you had so much fun.

    This past year was important for me as I graduated from college and started working. However in many ways I feel like I wasted my time in college following a path that I no longer care about.

    I’m going to use 2011 to focus on building an online business(mostly through affiliate marketing)just like you. Hopefully this will allow me to take control of my life.

    Happy holidays and best of luck in 2011!

    • Diggy

      Hey Tanvir!

      Good to hear that this year was a big milestone in your life. I hope you succeed with your online business and that it will allow you to live life how you want it to.

      I sometimes wonder how my life would have been if I had gone to College for 4 years. I can’t say I like the thought of it, but hey, who knows what could have happened. I might have started an online business much sooner.

      Thanks for the wishes!
      Happy holiday back to you and a kickass 2011!

      Diggy

      PS you can always email me if you have any questions about affiliate marketing and I’ll help you where I can:)

    Sounds you’ve had an excellent year Diggy!

    My 2010 has been pretty good itself, but I won’t divulge here. I’ll just say well done on what you’ve accomplished, and I hope 2011 brings even more fun and success to your door :-)

    • Diggy

    Diggy, Looks like you’ve had quite a year. I think you’ve got some solid goals ahead of you for 2011 (I’ve got some similar ones – aside from getting girls – I’m a committed husband/father, so I’m set there). Hope you had a great Christmas and have a great New Year!
