What did you accomplish in 2009?

In 2009 I made a shitload of money with AM while still getting straight A's in high school.

In 2010 I'll make even more money and go to college.
 


college...pffft - <sarcasm>Soo glad that I went</sarcasm> and now, monthly, I get to take part of my AM profits and pay back Uncle Sam for a degree I dont use. That was an expensive bill for getting trashed, smokin out, and nailin gals.

lesson learned.

2009 - meh, could have been better

2010 - clean slate.
 
2009 sucked.. in-laws died, g-ma died, got laid off, 12 good friends got laid off, the wife deserves a divorce for being completely worthless, and had knee surgery (again). On the flip side I took a 4000 mile roadtrip through the southeast for a month and took the last six months off accomplishing absolutely nothing to deal with stress.. 2010 will be better..
 
2009 sucked. I was extremely lazy and didn't care about a thing. I tried changing that but that failed. I see the same exact results happening for 2010.
 
Found exactly what I want to do, business wise for the next 5 years.
Started actually making some monies online.
Now to make some proper cash at it :D

Oh, and created a new person.
 
I'm surprised so many people had a shitty 2009, it's certainly been a great year for the industry. Rebills taking off and making a lot of people a lot of money.
In 2009 I
-Finally made significant money doing AM part time
-Made some very successful investments in stocks
-Got much more organized and focused
-Got all the hard college classes out of the way

2010 will be even better. Our industry is still in its infancy, and it's growing incredibly fast. It's still pretty easy to make money in AM, definitely much easier than it will be in 5 years or so.

2009/2010 is a great time to be an affiliate. It's possible for anyone on this forum to step up, work hard, and have an incredibly successful year in 2010. Now is our time.
 
got laid off from my job as an engineer

if jan. 1 is any indication of 2010, i'm fucked
 
I think I just stopped being a lazy fucker.

I used to talk mad bullshit about doing this or doing that, but funny enough, it took a terrible break-up for me to realize I'm all talk and stuff. Shitty events can be inspiring I guess.

I finally quit my retail job this year and made a decent amount of money designing stuff. I also started to get my feet wet in AM. So far, I haven't launched any serious campaigns (or even made a significant profit) but 2010 looks promising. Testing, testing, testing, etc.
 
In 2009 I did *most* of the grunt work that I needed to do.
2010 is gonna fuckin own!
