I guess I'll just use December to summarize the entire year. As a non-technical co-founder I helped acquire 5-figure investment from a billion-dollar hedge fund, organize a team to form another bootstrapped one and came very close to closing a deal with another simple project that cost me $10 to start...

...then I butted-heads with the investor in the first project and have all but been pushed to the side. Then my technical co-founder for the bootstrapped project started to beef up his own profitable project instead of working together with me, then the deal fell through on my $10 investment. The greatest part was that I even took some time off from school for that (and other things)!

I know - sounds like a failure. Well, it was. In any case I learned a TON about things I like doing, things that do and do not work, and most importantly, I learned a lot about myself.

I'm working on some projects on the side, but I am re-entering school full time in Jan. to get my BA degree. Let us all hope 2012 is prosperous.
