Neitzche's an interesting guy, fun to throw around in mental bukkake festivals and general misquote. When i first started reading his work several years back, there was a single thought that kept making me want to stop, to disbelieve and shun everything that he had written: It can't be that hard.

Yet here I am at the end of another year that was that hard, there were punches thrown, I went down to the mat in the 3rd, 4th and 9th rounds, and now the bell is about to ring, and I'm going to walk out of the ring a champion. The thing with being a champion, is that winning the fight is the easy bit, it's staying there. 2010 is looming it's head, and as I climb out of this ring, I climb back into training for another fight.

This year brings promise, and a number of games that I'm looking forward to, It seems everybody is aware that annuity business models are the way to go, and Telamenta is no different. As we move into the product space I'm going to have to gear up and get training and skills in areas I've never been exposed to before. So here's what the year holds for me from a business front:

- Getting onto the public speaking platform, I think this is going to be a lot of fun, if nothing else, and will help spread the open source, user experience and business anthropology view and messages I've been playing with.
- Telamenta: Telamenta is going into deep product development, we'll be continuing bespoke and we've grown to a point where the new game has evolved, and we'll start dipping our feet into the Saas (Software as a service) models. We're will also be officially launching our UX division, which has been growing organically in the back-end.
- Cycan: Cycan's executive coaching is doing amazing things, and 2009 pushed their skills deeper, with a number of larger clients including mines and banks, we've been pushing group coaching into an incredibly powerful way, so that teams are working in fascinating ways to achieve their outcomes. I want to use 2010 as a platform for Cycan to develop their IP in ways that are more than human interface dependent. There are a number of challenges in this, and while I know that Cycan has in the past used their human edge as a differentiator, I don't think that this will be lost, if we do things properly.

All in all, I look forward to an incredible year. For now though, a small break and lot of reading. learning and planning.
