Welcome! My name is Jason Kerchner, and thanks for visiting! If you're new here, you may want learn a little more about my story.
So 2009 is coming to a close.
Did you accomplish a lot? Did your business grow? Did you learn new things? Did you try out new strategies?
Was 2009 all you expected it would be?
Well, now is the time to make plans for the new year. If you are like me, you probably have lots of goals and new opportunities that you’re going after in 2010.
But before you tackle all those 2010 plans, might I make a suggestion?
My Journey in 2009
For me, 2009 was a very educational year. I learned quite a bit about building a business online, implementing marketing strategies, utilizing software tools, and much, much more.
I’ve started up several niche websites, launched my own blog, began shooting videos, learned how to market through social media, set up several pay-per-click campaigns, tried out many, many, many software tools, and taken hours upon hours of training courses.
I’ve spent a LOT of money in the past year!
I’ve also come across some great mentors and friends who have helped me along the way, and to whom I am sincerely thankful.
I’m very excited to put all I’ve learned and tested in 2009 into full effect in 2010.
2009 was a PERSONAL GROWTH year for me.
2010 will be a BUSINESS GROWTH year.
That does NOT mean I’ll stop learning and developing my skills, though!
Thanks to You!
Thanks for being a loyal reader of my blog. I look forward to sharing more with you throughout the new year, and I hope some of you will join me on my 2010 business growth journey!
Have a wonderful holiday and a very happy new year!
I agree. One can never stop educating themselves and learning, but you’ll never be profitable either if you keep spending and not earning. I’m a huge social media participant, and oddly enough, our stories sound very similar.
Here’s to a profitable 2010 for both of us. Good luck!

Yeah, many people get caught up in training and learning, and forget the DOING part of running a business! Cheers to you, Sharon, have a VERY profitable 2010!
Hi Jason,
Hope you had a great new year. I just read your blog post. I agree that personal development is critical. Once our minds are in the right place, it’s easy to succeed.
I speak with many people who are struggling in their life and business and it amazes me that these people aren’t on any kind of personal development program.
So the first thing I say to them is to start learning, program their mind, affirmations, goal setting etc.
I make sure I get 1 hour of goal setting/ time management/ productivity training first thing in the morning. About 6.30am and then a network marketing training about 5pm at night before I make my phone calls.
It works wonders.
Keep up the great work and will speak soon,
Thanks
Gavin

Gavin, that’s awesome that you have learning and personal development built into your daily business operations. It is critical, and it looks like you have it well-balanced with the rest of your daily operations. Balance is important. Here’s to a productive 2010!
This was FUN and EXCITING! I enjoyed it. I got this from SueVittner.com blog and totally enjoyed it. I hope you do too. Thanks for your another awesome post!
Honor 2009 (What happened, accomplished, learned, touched us, moved us, made us grow, made us the person we are today)
“Go through calendar of past year
Write what was significant
—Make a list of what we are celebrating (delight, joy, accomplishment, breakthroughs)
—Make a list of what we are still holding in judgment (that we still hold as bad, sad, judging)
What did I learn? Honor what we were able to accomplish and release any judgments
Bless it…
Right Brain Vision of New Year
(What does it look like, feel like, taste like…capture the energy of the New Year. These questions came from Isabel Parlett.)
If 2010 were a color, what color would it be?
If 2010 had a flavor, what would it taste like?
If 2010 were a piece of music, what music would it be?
If 2010 had a smell, what would it smell like?
If 2010 had a texture, what would it feel like?
If 2010 were a place, what place would it be? (general or specific)
Look at all of your answers and for each ask yourself what qualities do I associate with each of these answers? Come up with 3-5 adjectives for each
Look for recurring themes…these are themes for this year.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!
