Throughout the year of 2009, I have been through many ups and downs, and with thanks to God I have properly launched SteitBlog and it is doing very well where it even surpassed my expectations. As I say goodbye to 2009 I would like to take the chance to thank some of the people who have helped me in one way or another in achieving my goals, or at least some of them.
My wife, best friend and best supporter. I don’t think any man would need more than a great wife to be successful.
My brother, the first person who introduced me to the Internet and was a HUGE source of inspiration to me.
A friend and a colleague who is a goal oriented person, that achieves whatever is on his mind. He was a great a motivator.
I consider Derek as my young brother, we met in 2009′s Q3 or Q4 and we have been close friends ever snce. He is a fast learner, very passionate and guess what? He’s only a teenager. All the luck D.
Daniel, passionate and knowledgeable by all means. I applaud you for your decision in making blogging your full time job.
I consider Darren to be the GodFather of blogging, he is one great source of blogging information and inspiration as well. Author of two books and owner of a very cool Blogging Community (ProBlogger Community)
John is the person who made me consider making money online through blogging, I first read about him in Entrepreneur Magazine.
David is a very down to earth ProBlogger. You can easily talk to him, he replies to all of your messages and he provide you with all the support and information you need.
Kamel is a friend before being a partner. We have a lot in common, we both love to act fast and we try to take all chances available. One of the best passionate social entrepreneurs I have ever meet.
What can I say about Chris? Chris is one social media expert on all levels, a main speaker in different international events and recently authored the great book, Trust Agents.
Robert is a friend of mine, who I was introduced to through Mike’s Life blog, he is from South Africa and he writes really cool articles in his blog.
The help and support that Robert offered to me is priceless. He helped me a lot in working on my first ebook which should be available VERY soon.
Sam is a great friend and a great social media mind! She has excellent knowledge in social media, and knows very well how it works and how to apply it to corporates.
I would simply like to thank Chris for creating Thesis Theme. Thank you Chris for Thesis!
Jeremy is the Superman of blogging! A man who made it work after he was in debt for $50k and kicked off every job. Hats off Jeremy, you are such a success story!
Brian is the guy behind BlogEngage, which I have been depending on lately to generate traffic to my blog and socialize with other bloggers in the sphere. I would like to thank you Brian for creating BlogEngage!
Last but surely not least, my sincerest gratitude goes out to my parents, whom without their continuous support and love, I could not have become half the man I am today.
Lets hope I haven’t forgotten anybody, if I happen to have; thank you to all who have made an impact on me and for influencing me in being the blogger I am.
