That is what is written in the top right corner of my account page at CafePress. Happy CP anniversary to me!

Most important things I've learned in my first year at CafePress:

• Patience is a must. Lots of it.
• Success is possible, but not without long hours of hard work.
• Premium shop makes the shopkeeper's job a breeze compared to basic shops.
• At any given moment there is a bug or an unsolved problem going on. Whatever it is, it's not worth losing nerves over it.
• There is something new to learn every day. Successful shopkeepers are a great source of wisdom and practical knowledge.

That and a million of other important things.
