So the past few months, I have struggled. I used to love what I did, but this year I’ve just found it really hard. I had big plans but as hard as I tried, it just seemed like we weren’t getting anywhere.

Until this week. This week will go down as my Week of 2009. Everything suddenly fell into place. All the hard work and worry has been totally worth it, because this week, when the good stuff happened I know that I MADE it happen.

That is what I love (and hate) about working for myself. You own all your success. No one gave it to you. Obviously you also own all your failures (which mount up big time). It is the ultimate freedom. I think it’s probably what keeps us all going.

And to top it all off, Xero now has currency conversion. What else could I possibly ever want?
