As the year comes to a close and we wrap up our editorial efforts for 2009, I would like to wish our readers Happy Holidays and much success in 2010.

This has been a very busy year, but I am glad we were able to keep up with our weekly schedule of information-filled success articles, taking us to a whopping 259 articles published since the inception of the site.  We are now into our 4^th year – not bad for an activity that is known for not lasting more than a few months.  Coming up with new and interesting success related articles week after week is definitely a challenge but we hope to continue sharing with you great articles to help you in your success journey.

The year 2009 was indeed a tough one as we dealt with the aftermath of the most intense global financial crisis since the Great Depression.  We have not fully recovered yet, and for the one in ten of us in the United States who are without a job, this is truly a tough environment in which to succeed.  But at least now there are signs of hope.  The stock market is certainly showing signs of improvement, and it is quite a relief to look at this year’s investment statements compared to the ones at the end of last year.

But despite of all the trials and tribulations of a tough year, we all have something to be thankful for, and we should always keep that in mind.   I am thankful for the thousands of visitors that come to our site every month and specially to those who contribute with their insightful comments.  I am also very thankful for all of our sponsors.  A special thanks goes to Bettertrades , CashNetUSA and RateDetective who have been our sponsors for years.

Wishing you a very successful 2010!
