When I read this post by Tiffany that broke her year down by month,   it was something I wanted to blatently copy (that seems to be a theme) to start off this particular week. OK, not totally blatently copy Im gonna insert my own breakdown here instead of copying hers. Ha! Could you imagine if I didnt?! Silliness. What I really wanted to do here is to create part memory book, part growth-chart of my business as it took its baby steps. I certainly dont mean for you to click every link or leave you with the impression that I have a big fat head but, as is my style, this is my way of celebrating. Im putting the money where my mouth is, people! And youll see I chart my head-scratchers and epic fails, too. Bring it!
