It’s funny how we measure time by the calendar. I mean January first will dawn just like any other day. Here in Savannah odds are pretty good it will be a bit foggy, just like this morning. It’s that time of year.
However 1 January will be a vastly different time for me here at SuccessCREEations. A big part of that change involves me leaving my day job.
Yep. You heard right.
As of the new year I will no longer be employed full time in my old position in the maritime industry. I’m leaving that job to focus on growing SuccessCREEations, Inc.
It is a big step, no doubt. and that is one that Gorgeous and I have been working towards for quite some time.
There have been a myriad of things to get in place, things like health insurance, a car to replace the company car I’m giving up, and a new laptop – again to replace the company one I’m forfeiting.
What it Means
In the next few weeks y’all will see some big changes around here. For starters we will be overhauling the entire site.
SuccessCREEations will transform from a pure blog to a hybrid site that will be our company site with a blog on it. We’ve thought long and hard about the pros and cons to changing the site. Based on the direction we are moving a change is in order.
Gorgeous will be starting her own much anticipated blog here after the first of the year. I’m excited about her joining the blogging community in a more formal way after all her involvement with SOBCon.
I will be writing much more often and in a few new places. I’ll be firing up my personal blog here again shortly after a 6 months or more of neglect and joining in on a couple new projects.
All in all 2008 promises to be dramatically different around here. I’m looking forward to it.
Hey Chris – I can’t WAIT to hear more about how you’re going to make it great in 2008! Your voice has been missed friend, and with you AND Gorgeous hitting the circuit, it’s going to be an amazing year!
Here’s to many SuccessfulCREEations in 2008! Let me know how I can help!
Thanks, Phil! Change is in the air. Big time!
Looking forward to hearing about how you make 2008 Great too!
Hi Chris,
Nice to hear about upcoming plans. Seems a bit risky.. but I believe these are risks we have to take.
I wish you all the best.

Chris– it sounds like 2008 will hold some amazing changes for you!
Chris, I wish you the best of SuccessfulCREEations! If anyone has the where-with-all to make it work, you do!
This IS a big step Chris, ho’omaika’i ‘ana (congratulations). I was so happy reading of how your plan involves Gorgeous, for though we no longer do so due to our differing (grown up!) interests, working with my husband earlier in our careers was wonderful – and we’re still married! Just call if there is some way I can support you both.
Hi Chris,
Congratulations on your big move! Looking forward to seeing all the changes you describe. And it will be great to hear from Gorgeous!
Sandy
Congratulations! Looking forward to the changes on the blog and a great 2008.
Im sure overhauling the site is going to make it even better. Its already quality so i look forward to seeing it get even better. May both of us, and all webmasters have a lot of success in 2008.
P.S I like a light blue background.
Regards Andrew
Congratulations! (Yes, I’m slow to post, but what else can you expect from me these days?) I know we’ll see many great things come from you and your other half. So cheers to a great year ahead!
