Here is my 2013 scorecard, or my 2014 design. It is custom this time of the year (early 2014) to review what you have accomplished in the previous year and what you planning to accomplish in the year that comes. I, usually, don’t subscribe to this kind of ventures (I do reviews much more often than once a year and modify my plans, goals, etc. accordingly! – on a more frequent base).
For me this time of the year, is a chance to milestone some of the things, that have develop a huge momentum in my life (this helps me to continue in my course, to stop and reflect, to move forward, to assist someone, to help someone to find his road, to thank someone(s), to honor someone or something else, etc).
I strongly believe that you first realize your boundaries, and then you surpass them! (it is just a point of view, of course(!); and any point of view is valid, as far as provide the desired and intended results in the reality). So without further ado, this is a small list of things, that I have accomplished in 2013 and I would like to achieve in 2014.
Things, I’m Particularly Proud Of In 2013

In this context, I follow courses for business startups and business modeling, behavioral economics, coding and web development, and such, … Many of the topics, discussed in this blog, originate on questions and discussion from such courses!
