<p>It has been awhile since I posted last.  I apologize, but I&#8217;ve been on a whirl-wind since Thanksgiving.  I was working as hard as I could in December eliminating almost all social activities, including blogging.  We were very busy and I had to preare for the three weeks while I would be away for the holidays.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-245" title="for Charlie" src="http://manhattangrid.com/files/2010/01/for-Charlie.jpg" alt="for Charlie" width="366" height="193" /></p>
<p>I went to South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia for three weeks with an intensive itinerary, returned immediately to the <a href="http://www.afhseminars.com/cyber.htm" target="_blank">CyberStar</a> convention in Scottsdale, came back to work for a week of catch-up, then collapsed from exhaustion and been in bed for three days.  I&#8217;m feeling rested, hence today&#8217;s blog.</p>
<p>So what did that flurry of activity produce, outside of a life out of balance?  I had my first million dollar GCI (Gross Commission Income) of my career, which is especially rewarding in this challenging market we face and was a goal I&#8217;ve had for the past five years.  My goal for this year is to increase my GCI by $200,000 and have a life in balance.</p>
<p>My trip to Africa was amazing.  I went on safari for a week and was steps from lion, cheetah, leopard, elephants, monkeys, zebra, giraffe, hippos, rhinocerous, crocadiles, impala, cape buffalo, wart hogs, hyenna, wildebeest, you name it; spent New Years in Cape Town which is an amazing city, and spent Ethiopian Christmas (Jan. 7th) in Lallibela which was very powerful.</p>
<p>The CyberStar convention has already resulted in three referrals, so the New Year is off to a good start.</p>
