An End Of Year Thanks To Our Extended Community — 16 Comments

  1. Wow Alan! Thanks for the mention and all your support!! You know, your post about why relationships are important brings me a lot of visitors. I hope in turn it does you also.

    I enjoy being a part of your community here and plan on being here for 2013 and beyond.

    Cheers Alan!

    • Hey Allie,

      actually I don’t think it does, but that’s cool – I’m glad it’s bringing you visitors at least.

      I think these days people on the internet have a really short attention span – they probably just get to the article (the traffic you’re seeing), read a bit, then leave. How dare they! 😉

      Actually I think I made an offer in that article for free consulting. I need to talk to you about that with a view to revising it as I’m not sure I put a time limit on it but I should have (I’m struggling to keep up with my paid consulting at the moment so if traffic were coming through, I’d struggle to fit in any free sessions).

      I’m sure 2013 is going to be a great year for both of us and also interesting in the fast moving world of platforms, internet and technology – who knows where it will take us? I’m really looking forward to it…

  2. Happy New Year, Alan. I think I can still say that even though it is the 9th. Whatever, I’m a little behind right now. Just like you, I took some time off at the end of the year. However, mine was due to an illness. In fact, I’m still recovering, but it’s a good sign that I’m reading blog posts again and making comments.

    I’m glad your site has been growing. You put out so many great posts that I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. It sounds like 2012 was a great year for you so I hope you make 2013 just as good or even better.

    Have a great new year!

    • lol – you can say it any time you like my friend – well perhaps after Q1 it would just be Happy Year, still it’s the sentiment that counts, isn’t it?

      I’m really really sorry to hear that you’ve been unwell. I always think of you as the most super-fit guy on the planet. That’s what you look like in my mind anyway. is it something you caught in Morocco? No worries if it’s private by the way or not something to answer in comments/public – in any case drop me a mail or ping me if there’s anything I can do to help, to answer that if you’d prefer to privately or if there’s anything else I can help with, even if it’s something small but that helps you catch up after being away.

      The site has been growing – slowly but steadily which I happen to think is the best way. ‘Spikes’ for a number of reasons I no longer see as anything to get excited about. In fact they can be bad for business in my mind – what I’m really interested in is steady growth, both so that it’s genuine (I think steady growth probably is more genuine than rapid growth or spikes) and that I can keep close to it (same reason I have a strict rule to never take on more than 3 consulting clients at one time). Small and manageable all the way dude… 😉

      … but it looks like I’m rambling again…

      Anyways, thanks for the comment & the kind words (p.s. you know I love everything you write too) I wish you all the best for an amazing year in 2013 & I hope we get the chance to catch up soon!

  3. Alan, I had my own little end of year offline break, but now I’m getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for putting together the site and providing helpful information. Looking forward to the new things you’re working on for 2013.

    • Yeah, it’s pretty cool to go offline once in a while.

      I love the idea of being off-grid but I’m also such a geek and am fascinated by technology and what’s possible these days, so I’m kind of conflicted in that way.

      Never mind, it’s all good fun.

      Thanks for your continued support Andy – very much appreciated & I wish you all the very best for 2013.

  4. Hey Alan!

    Thanks a mill for the mention buddy! As with the others, I was quite pleasantly surprised; haven’t expected it at all. 🙂

    2012 surely was a year of many changes for my business as well as my personal life, with the best probably being me pursuing my new freelance blogging career.

    All the best for 2013! I trust it’s going to be an exciting new year for all of us. I believe it’s going to hold even more surprises and most certainly some very exciting growth we all hope to see!

    • Hey Ruan,

      no problem and you are more than welcome.

      It looks to me like you have lots of exciting projects for 2013 so best of luck with everything – I think it’s going to be a good year,

      take care & best wishes,
      Alan

  5. Yes, thank you for the mention. This post really took some time for you to compile 🙂 I’ve enjoyed finding your blog and hope to visit more often in the coming new year. Have a Happy and Healthy 2013!

    • Hi Lisa,

      yes it did though having said that it was pretty straight forward once I got going 😉

      Thanks also for the well wishes and the same right back to you – thanks for your comments, for visiting & I’m sure 2013 is going to be a great year for all of us,

      take care & best wishes,
      Alan

  6. Alan,

    I hope that all is well.

    Thanks so much for sharing my latest post. Best wishes to you and the wife for a happy, healthy, and safe 2013 filled with many good things. 🙂

    Happy New Year!

    –Jennifer

  7. Hello Alan,

    Just as Sylviane has already mentioned, I was also pleasantly surprised by the mention here. Thanks so much for that!

    I’ve bookmarked Life’s Too Good quite a while ago, and I’ve found some really valuable articles here. One of the very few out of the very many blogs I read, that I actually remember about. And being memorable is definitely one of the qualities a successful blog / community needs!

    I’d like to say thanks for what you did so far, and good luck further achieving your goals!

    Here’s to an even more successful 2013! Cheers!

    • Hey Andrew,

      thanks & I’m glad you enjoy our site – you left some really useful comments which are always appreciated. Often a good article is made even better when you get different opinions and perspectives on it.

      very best wishes to you for the coming year!!

      Alan

  8. Hi Alan,

    Thank you very much for the mention here. I was quite surprised 🙂

    I’ve been here a few times before, but I’ve got to try to come more regularly as your posts are right up my alley. I really enjoyed your collection of blogs here and I’m going to bookmark this.

    Have a very Happy New Year!

    • Hey Sylviane,

      no problem, you’re more than welcome. We probably have quite a bit in common via the French connection – we just had a kind of double XMas celebration – with a traditional XMas eve supper (followed by 13 desserts) and then typical British Xmas day – I hope you had a great XMas & best wishes for 2013!
