I loved the business and everything I achieved with it but in 2010 I realised I didn’t enjoy it any more.  I made some major changes in the business so that it is no longer entirely dependent on me and I have only kept a small amount of Business clients that I enjoy working with.    My Focus in IT is now “The Cloud” and helping companies move to the cloud – But on my terms.  I am no longer working at stupid o’clock because some clients server fell over after not taking my advice.   Partnering with some highly regarded IT companies locally has been the best decision I have made in business ever (delegating).

Now that I have restructured, this has given me more time to concentrate on building my other business interests and preparing for launching a few new ones in 2012.   From now on, I do what I enjoy doing and I do it my way.   A business I have had for nearly 6 years has flourished in 2011 (Triplefishy) all because I put my time into the business I had the passion for.

As it is nearly December 2011 I wanted to look at my Goals for 2012, after posting a random tweet today asking “have you set your 2012 Goals”; I got some great feedback and decided with @Joel_Hughes that I would publish my Goals on the blog and see if we can encourage others to do the same.

So here are my 2012 Goals….
