Happy New Years from Worth Godwin
As I write this, it's around 1pm on New Year's Eve, which is around 6pm on the East coast of the US, and for our neighbors across the pond it's just past 12am New Year's Day.
New Years when we all find ourselves looking back at the year and years behind us, and look forward to what comes in the future.
As for myself, I'm putting a long long year of working many 12-15 hour days building up my easy video lesson CDs business up from scratch, armed with not a lot more than sweat and determination to make something of the business.
I've never been much of one for New Year's resolutions, but we all have goals for the coming year. My own goal is to really make a big success of my business -- some people might want this to live a lavish lifestyle, full of flashy cars and McMansions, but my motivation is a little different.
I was fortunate enough to have grown up living way out in the country in Upstate New York on a big 70-acre farm my parents bought for a song in the 1970s. It was full of fields, acres of woods, a pond and a stream, and big open skies.
I miss the times I spent walking through the woods for hours as a child, silent except for the sound of chipmunks and squirrels in the fallen leaves, or the occasional deer fleeing from my quiet footsteps.
Now I live in Hawaii, and while it is warm all year round, there are no deer, and I live on a little half acre of land.
This may sound funny coming from someone who spends so much time working with technology and computers, but I miss living where I can step out my door and go for a long walk in the woods and escape the modern world.
My real goal for starting this business, beyond helping people get past being stuck with computers and helping them feel more confident and comfortable, is to make enough money to buy a big property out here in the islands.
Unlike a lot of people with their eye on buying lots of vacant land, I don't want to develop it and put up yet another resort or subdivision to try to make a bundle at the cost of nature and the island I live on.
What I want to do in 2008, more than almost anything, is to buy a large property out in the country. A large property either already filled with old-growth native forest, or one where I can begin replanting trees to bring back the original forest and the native animals that depend on it.
Beyond that, I plan to put a conservation easement on it -- this would legally block development on the property, even if I sell it, so it remains protected and undeveloped nature for many many years to come.
Whatever your goals are for the coming year, I wish you well on them.
If one of your goals is to get better at computers, to become more confident and skilled with them, then maybe we can help each other reach our goals together.
To kick off the new year, I'm slashing prices on my easy computer lesson CDs for the first few days of 2008. I've put together a huge jumbo pack of 16 easy CDs at a steep discount off the regular price, and a *tiny fraction* of the cost of hiring a computer consultant like myself to teach it all.
You'll get CDs packed full of dozens and dozens of quick, easy lessons on topics ranging from safe & easy web browsing, email, working with photos, Windows and Mac computer basics, and a lot more. All guaranteed to make you feel more confident than before, or your money back.
To take advantage of the special New Year's savings, just hop over to my website to read more. Just remember, the savings end January 4th, so get there before it's too late!
