I know someone is going to post something like: "Max is such a jerk for writing this post directly at his friend. Why should he rag on Gary's style? Just leave the poor guy alone."<p>My pre-emptive response: "Sure, Gary might be pretty pissed at Max for a while. But he'll probably decide one of two things - either he DOES need to make a change in his life/projects or he really DOESN'T care about actually starting something and is content to tinker. Either way, Gary's life is going to improve due to these realizations, and he's lucky to have a friend like Max."
I actually had one of these years in 2010; whilst my main business - WooThemes - continued to grow very nicely, I just kept adding to my list of new ideas, without executing on a single one of them.<p>Change it is for 2011 then.
