Image 1/72 for "Summary of 2009"

2009 has been a fantastic year. So much more progress and fulfillment in life when compared to what I wrote up in the dannychoo.com in 2008 article.
2010 is off to a great start with so many exciting projects that we are working on. Today we take a look back at the highlights of 2009.

Starting off with one of the best things we did in 2009 - hire Chris Gaunt. Chris is a fellow Brit who came to Japan a year ago on a working holiday visa. I saw some of his work online and we finally hooked up at Tokyo CGM Night. Demonstrating that you have the ability to do something is key to a successful career.
Working examples or visible past achievements is important when getting a business or career deal.

Chris is a superstar and I've wanted another person like him for a while now. Finding great people is extremely tough but it looks like I've found another superstar very recently...

Takeaway 1 - have working examples of your work (online or offline) to demonstrate your ability to deliver. You should at least have an online profile of your abilities and past experience.
Don't work on it tomorrow, do it now.
