The last post I made was in… *gasp* September 23, 2009.

Forgive me, I have sinned.

At the end of last year, I made a commitment that this year’s going to be an awesome year. It will not be anything like before and this year will be my breakthrough year.

I’m thankful because I’ve made great progress already.

During last year’s gift exchange in Christmas, I received a planner. Which was perfect. And I resolved to write down and record my activities for the day. Thus far, great success. I’ve missed a couple of things I wanted to do but overall, it’s good.

I’ve also managed to successfully work at home via the internet. I’ve been able to make a good income online thus far, plus with the little odd jobs here and there, things have been pretty smooth.

I’ve succeeded in terms of a consistent income but have yet to reach the mad fluctuation figures which I’m shooting for.

What do I mean? I mean… I’m getting a fixed, regular, predictable income as I’m doing some work for a local guru currently. However, that’s not where I plan to stay. I’d rather be getting mad, randomly high figures than a fixed amount.

One of the goals for this month in terms of what I wanna do is to compile and complete my latest internet marketing project. I’ve been meaning to complete it but I’ll admit to the inner editor getting in the way. I’ve managed to shut him up a bit but he still nags consistently – so that’s resulting in the delay.

Other than that, another goal is to commit Twitter-seppuku.

As it stands, I’m following 9,742 followers and 11,913 followers. I’ve already unfollowed a bunch of tweeple via Untweeps.com which helps me find the “stale” tweeple… people who’ve stopped tweeting in a certain period of time.

My goal is to lower the number of people I’m following to about 100 or so.

Why the drop?

I was in Singapore’s Top 5 Twitter list before and it was simply by applying the “I’ll-follow-you-so-you’ll-follow-me” approach and by the grace of God, managed to get in the top 5.

However, after I hit into the early 5 figures, I realized that it’s a “hollow bird”. I ceased my building of Twitter followers using that approach.

I’ll be using another approach to build followers and will reveal it in the future. For now, I’m doing it so I can truly build a real, genuine relationship with the people I am following.

Many great things are going to happen in 2010. This will be the most amazing year, ever.
