Achievements in 2015
Remember in one of my trainings I talked about the importance of planning and rewarding yourself?
Well, at the end of every year I like to analyze the things I've accomplished to track my progress and plan my next year. (Sometime soon I will create another training explaining the strategies I use to plan my year, each month and each week).
1. Graduation
To start off, I graduated with high academic standing from York University, Law & Society Program (Toronto, Canada).
That's definitely something I am happy about :)
2. Certificate
Next, along with diploma I received this wonderful piece of paper from York University, acknowledging my Spanish language skills.
Officially this paper was called "Certificate of Proficiency in Spanish Language".
That's yet another thing I am extremely happy about, as in order to receive such a certificate I had to complete 3 years learning Spanish at my university, completing an intense 2-month Spanish study abroad program in Mexico in 2014, as well as have a final oral exam with Spanish professors at York University.
Mission accomplished!
P.S. I had a legal name change to "Kasotty", so don't be surprised :)
3. Explore French Program
Right after my exams at university, I received an e-mail confirming that I am eligible to participate in the French program in Montreal, Quebec (French-speaking province in Canada).
View from my residence room:

Catching up with francophone friends from another French Program I completed the year before:
It was definitely an amazing experience!
4. Freelance experience
Around May-June, I made my first steps to working on-line. I did some freelance work (mostly involved language skills).
However, I wanted something more - I wanted to have residual income as well and that's how a few months went by researching opportunities.
And...
5. Wealthy Affiliate business community.
...And finally, I found THE ONE!
It was Wealthy Affiliate community. I signed up for free, I had my first 7 days FREE (!) access to absolutely EVERY training, lesson, webinar available on WA.
I was exploring and learning like a sponge.
Without any doubts, I signed up for Premium membership which was only 19$ first month, and 47$ afterwards. I even signed up for yearly membership during Black Friday sale, which is even less than that!
Basically, now I pay about 80 cents per day!
Kyle and Carson are amazing or what!
Not to mention the tools, the endless support, and the quality of lessons and trainings provided here!
6. My first blog.
Indeed, building a website took just a minute with WA tools as Kyle and Carson said. Through the Certification Courses, I learned even more about WordPress and online business matters than I knew.
Anyway, as a result I created Life In Kaizen Style Blog, where I post articles about personal development.
And a few posts already...
That's yet another exciting moment for me!
7. Three months at Wealthy Affiliate.
On December 26th, I turned out to be exactly 3 months at Wealthy Affiliate!
Right away, I opened to the opportunity to create trainings here, and here's what I've created so far:
Training #1:
Blog Tips for Beginners
Training #2:
WordPress Tags and Categories - Same Word for Both?
Training #3:
The Difference between a Blog and a Website
Training #4:
Blog vs. Website - Which One Do You Need?
Training #5:
Residual Income Opportunities
Training #6:
Effective Time Management Tips
Training #7:
Effective Use of Time in Business
Training #8:
How to React to Criticism
Training #9:
How to Create Photo Collage for Free
This is exciting for me for sure!
Moreover, it turned out that I can also earn credits (1 credit = 1USD) through trainings and I love the way Kyle and Carson reward those who create useful trainings for WA members!
Clearly, this is the BEST business community!
I am grateful to the owners, as well as to WA members for all the support and excellent resources that you provide! <3
So, these are by far my major accomplishments in 2015!
If you want to know how I achieve most of my goals, welcome to my How to Create Photo Collage for Free training :)
Stay tuned for my next blog post about goals I set for 2016 :)

So it just goes to so you how powerful our minds are mind really are!!

Your achievements for the year are very inspiring. I'm going to check out your blog because kaizen is something that I have been really embracing throughout the year. My son's karate teacher talks about it a lot to his students, and I looked into it deeper after hearing him mention it to them in class in January 2015. It has helped me change the way I think and my lifestyle. It is so powerful!
I am glad you find them inspiring! It is my total pleasure!
That's great :) so far not so many articles on my blog, but I am on my way to producing a few more articles :)
Hope to see you around!
