It is that time of the year again where everyone gets their
minds going and determines what the year brought for them. For me
it has been a very interesting year, a year that brought forth new ventures and
more struggles. After spending a year
and a half in Pennsylvania My wife, daughter and I decided to come back home to
California and take a job with a newer company.
It seemed like a great opportunity to get back into the action sports
industry but it deemed to be harder and a more stressful lifestyle. Not so much the action sports industry being
hard, but working for the company itself has been a task. In taking this position I had to work extra
hard to put process’s in place but having no direction made it pretty hard to
do and the low pay made it that much more
stressful. We have been back in
California for about 10 months now and living with my parents. Added upon the low pay, STRESS has ridden my
body and mind. But the positive thing is
that I have a job. The other great thing
is while working for this company I have decided to take it upon myself to grow
their social media since I have started I helped it grow from 7,000 fans on
Facebook to 16,000 that is 9,000 fans gained.
I have learned quite a bit while working here for the past few months
now, and that is to make sure you back yourself up and record all the work you
have done. Sometimes all that you have
is your work. Unfortunately I am a
person that likes to look out for a team and not just myself, I shouldn't say unfortunately. To move away from this subject an on to another great thing
in my life for 2012 is that we are having another baby girl!! With this great news, brings a greater
responsibility to get my family on its feet and move out of my parent’s house. This year has been pretty stressful but I
have been ever so grateful for the chances that were given to me and the blessing
of another child. I almost forgot
another great thing that happened just a couple of weeks ago my wife and I were
sealed in the San Diego Temple. That is
an LDS temple. Even though 2012 had been
a little hard and understanding the hardships for many of those suffering through
this terrible economy. All that I pray
for is a great 2013 year where we all can be at our best and drive toward our
goals. God has his plans for all of us
individually and what that plan is only he can direct us. Before
the year ends be sure to take a moment and write down some new year’s
resolutions and strive to reach those goals and pray for guidance as I
will.
Until next time Artothebeat out!
