The next few days I’m going to be writing some posts reviewing this past year.
In 2007, I’ve received 61,457 emails, sent 13,174 emails, spoken in front of approximately 3,445 people at 25 speaking events, received 928 Facebook messages, sent 601 Facebook messages, wrote 181 blog posts, had 135 business lunches, held 83 employee interviews, been on 49 airplanes, talked with 46 venture capital firms, visited 28 cities, attended 27 business dinners, had 20 press interviews, held 11 Entrepreneur & Social Entrepreneur Meetups, read 9 books, been to New York City 5 times, added 4 roommates to our house of entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs, lost 3 phones, been on 2 magazine covers, been on 1 national television show, and completed 1 book manuscript.
If you are working on trying to succeed in business, ask yourself, did YOU have 162 business lunches and dinners in 2007!? Wow.
I am also writing a series in obtaining funding for a mobile messaging venture; it has been a comedy of errors, mostly mine. http://bizcast.tyepad.com

Man, hope you aren’t buying all those lunches. Bring a brown bag and save some cash!!
WOW!!
