As we approach the end of the year 2009, I have been reflecting where we have been, what we have accomplished and what we still need to accomplish. In doing so I have determined that 2009 has been a pretty good year. I still have a house, I’m still working and I haven’t had to take any family members into my house or otherwise support them. In light of things I have seen, we all have probably seen, happening in the world this year, not a bad situation.

Having said things are good doesn’t mean they could be better. I have come to realize that when you start thinking things couldn’t get, or worse, something will happen to show you how wrong you are. For someone like me that is rarely a problem.

Almost every day I get a new idea for things to explore, develop and/or market. If you stop and think about it the possibilities are endless. I mean according to a blurb I saw last week the "Pet Rock" was one of the top Christmas gifts the first year they came out. They were nothing more than a rock with some paint and maybe some eyes and hair stuck on them. So if people will buy painted rocks they will buy almost anything.

As I have talked with several people about developing different projects, the big question is not financing. Now I know that sounds like we must be independently wealthy and have the means to just jump into projects. That is not the case. Yes, I am currently working with a group that individually are all working and able to provide for their immediate needs and put a little aside. As a group that means when we combine those assets we can accomplish a lot.
So, if the big question is not financing you may ask why aren’t our products readily available on the market? The big problem is follow-through. As has been pointed out to me, and others, we are often so involved in the day - to - day business of making a living that we are often not able to accomplish those things beyond basic survival. That’s the position I keep finding myself in. So, for the moment I keep making notes of the ideas and things I am working on, and little by little I am accomplishing some of the projects that I have been writing about for the last while.
In the next year I hope to be able to write here and announce the launch of our website, it is under construction and is found at www.davidlsullivan.com. That site will be the source of all our projects and will hopefully, in 2010, be an interactive community.
