2008 was an amazing year for me, in so many ways. I expected it to be GREAT, I just didn’t know exactly what that might mean to me.

In January, I learned about being shackled by success. It was a hard lesson for me to learn, and it broke me out of my comfort zone.

In February, I learned about loving you for who you are, and loving myself for who I am. It’s a lesson I’m still learning.

In March, I learned 423 Ways to Sharpen Your Saw. A sharp saw can cut through just about anything. A dull saw is of no use to anyone.

In April, I learned all about Attitude Vitamins. I try to take at least one a day now.

In May, I learned all about the power of an attitude vitamin.

In June, I learned how to make myself happy in 60 minutes or less.

In July, I learned a new word, and a new concept, in luana.

In August, I learned what I should do with my life. I still haven’t been brave enough to do it unfortunately.

September I learned how to do one thing to help achieve more goals.

October I got a lot of great advice on what to do with my blog, and my brand.

In November I lost one of my best friends and mentor Susan Quandt. I reflected on the 5 things I learned most from her.

December I learned a new way to measure success.
