Hello mate, A million in a year? It’s a big goal but ok I’m always game.
Wow, this is far too much reader after far too much partying. Will definitely spend part of the day going through them, though! Very nice compilation! Happy 2010!
Hey Col,
Yeah man, not one to approach with a hangover. I can barely see the screen as it is typing this reply. Hope you had a good one mate.
Nice post. I think I have about 8 tabs open that need reading.
As for 2010…this could be the year!
Awhile back I had some business cards printed up that hand out to new people I meet when I’m on the road or out and about and make friends. It has my name, google voice number, and my website address. I also put a quote on there as well
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
Benjamin Franklin
I put that on there to both remind myself and maybe if I’m lucky, inspire someone else.
Yo Yo Yo Adam,
Mate, I really hope that 2010 is the year of great things for you. You have reminded me that I need to get another set of business cards printed before I travel again. Cheers pal.
What an excellent list of posts. You’ve created some killer content dude! I feel very fortunate to have hosted a guest post at my blog. Here’s to a kick ass 2010.

Dude, you are a freakin’ MACHINE! I have always enjoyed every one of your blogs I’ve ever read, and it’s really cool to see how well you’ve planned it all out when you look back at them retrospectively. Fantastic work this year Jonny, it’s been cool watching you take the blogosphere by storm, and fun meeting you.
Thanks for all this inspiration and kickass advice. I love the motivation to take 2010 by the horns, same message I’m spreading with my hommies at Untemplater. Hope to have your brilliant contributions over there in the coming months too, and wish you massive success in the New Year brother!
