I’m writing this post from my hometown Ocotlan. I’m in one of the small cybercafes near my inlaw’s house and I stopped by to write some lines on this the last day of the year 2007.
This in year in particular has been quite extraordinary and I will never forget it. Here are some of the things that I went through this year that marked a milestone in my life:
1) January 2007: I closed my business OCOTRADE, LLC and online store “My-Dog-Supplies.com”. OCOTRADE was my first legal entity born in the USA, and the cool thing about it is that I created this company from Mexico without having to be physically in the US. I used this company to run my online store “My-Dog-Supplies.com” for a few years, which was a Yahoo Store. While I was having a small success with it, it was more the trouble of administering the company than the money I was making, so I decided to close it. But the experience I gained was tremendous.
2) February 2007: I visited Europe for the first time. The company I work for sent me to Amsterdam in Holland, to attend some meetings. I enjoyed the city although it was quite cold for me that I’m used to warmer climates.
3) March 2007: I visited China for the first time. Again, my company sent me to Shanghai to attend some meetings there. I must say that Shanghai impressed me a lot as I could see for myself why China is destined to be the driving force of this century. I remember seeing all those tall buildings from “The Bund” and the Oriental Pearl Tower.
4) May 2007: I discovered the Web 2.0. This is by far the greatest discovery of the year for me. I still remember I was in the Atlanta airport returning from Holland when I saw a magazine where they had this topic on their cover. At that time I didn’t have any idea of what Web 2.0 meant. Now, after reading the “Authority Black Book” a new world has been opened to me and I’m ready to conquer it.
5) June 2007: I created my site HispaMarketing.com: This site is made with Joomla and my idea was to have a bilingual site (english / spanish) where I bloggued about Internet Business Ideas. This site is still active but I haven’t update it as I have now moved to Wordpress which is far more better to blogging than Joomla.
This month is special because it is the month where Flextronics buys the company I work for which is Solectron.
6) September 2007: I crated this blog, “TechnoBuck.com”. This my first blog in Wordpress and I must say I’m greatly impressed with WordPress.
This is also the month where the merger of Flextronics and Solectron is finalized and I’m told that I would have a job with the merged company up to January 2008.
7) November / December 2007: I finished my training with the “30 Day Challenge” and joined the “Social Power Linking” membership site. I’m ready to take off with the knowledge gained on these two programs.
This month is also important because I ended with Zero Credit Card Debt which is great!
So these are the most important events of my life during this year 2007. I hope that a year from now, I write the results of my endeveours during 2008.
