2010 Goal Recap
Overall I’m happy with 2010. Below is a re-cap of my original 2010 goals as of the start of 2010. I hit all but 1 P0 and none of the P1s. I’m very happy with this considering I also left Microsoft and started a company which were not in my original 2010 plan and thus derailed some of the other goals. This was very much a a welcomed change to my plans. Soon to come, a post on my 2011 goals. It’s going to be an awesome year - by far my best yet.
P0 - Compete in BJJ tournament in competition fighting shape
- I totally failed on this one. If anything, I’m in worse shape than I was at the start of 2010. I’m definitely going to change that in 2011.
P0 - Get promoted at work
- Achieved in March/April (although I have since left Microsoft :-))
P0 - Get Megan’s company off the ground
- We really nailed this one. Megan did about 20 events last year, and she has already booked more that that for 2011. She is off to the races and doesn’t need as much of my help anymore. She has a first page ranking for “Seattle wedding planner” and “Seattle event planner” on Google, and has the top spot on Yelp for both “Seattle wedding planner” and “Seattle event planner”.
P0 - Get SeattleAccountantGuide online and generating revenue
- We nailed this. Thanks mostly to Andy Turman, my sales extraordinaire.
P0 - Study up on C#, ASP.NET MVC, and Windows Azure cloud services
- Very much done. The soon to be launched Givedend.com social media company is based entirely on ASP.NET MVC and Windows & SQL Azure.
P1 - Win a BJJ tournament
P1 - Train for an MMA fight
P1 - Learn some Portuguese
P1 - Go to Brazil
- I made no progress on my P1 goals :-(
