I believe in setting goals. But what’s the point if you don’t evaluate what you actually accomplished? So here’s to a quick review of 2013 and preview of 2014.

Graduated from Michigan State. Moved to Southern California. Discovered internet marketing and online business. Lived on $3/hour for 3 months. Now happily employed in San Diego, CA.

It was a good year, definitely a lot of transitions. Looking forward to 2014.
