Big Dreams, Hidden Skills, and Gratitude: Wrapping Up 2024 With AKERS WORLD

Updated: Dec 7, 2024

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the highs, the lessons, and the incredible journey of this year. From the launch of meaningful projects to the personal growth I’ve experienced, none of this would have been possible without your support. This is more of a round up of the year as this will most likely be my last blog post for the year


This year (well, towards the end ), I launched a Digital Men’s Mental Health Journal - Men's Minds Matter, a project that holds a special place in my heart. The journal was born out of a desire to create something practical yet impactful—a space where men could reflect, grow, and take charge of their mental well-being.


We have seen many of the struggles that men face (I have even seen some men struggle in my personal life) and I decided to launch this journal on international men's mental health month. I did some prior research before launching the journal and heard from men who use journaling to track their emotions, professionals who’ve recommended it to their clients, and partners who’ve gifted it to loved ones. I have created a vision board for the past couple years , but what I needed to compliment this was daily journaling to keep me on track; I will definitely be taking this into 2025


Whether it's through my journal or a blank notebook, I encourage everyone to give it a try. Start small: jot down a thought, a feeling, or one thing you're grateful for today. You don't have to wait for the new year to begin reconnecting with yourself. You can click on the image below to have a look at my digital journal.



This year, reading became a refuge and a catalyst for new ideas. Among all the books I explored, two stood out for their impact on both my personal and professional life:


1. The Power of Ignored Skills

This book opened my eyes to the hidden potential in skills we often overlook. The author delves into how these “ignored skills” can become a competitive advantage when nurtured intentionally. One powerful takeaway was the importance of focusing on areas where you naturally excel but may not have considered valuable.

For instance, I realised that my habit of simplifying complex ideas (which I thought was just a quirky skill) could be a cornerstone of my blog content and product design. This insight led to more structured ideas for Akers World’s future projects.

2. The Magic of Thinking Big

This timeless classic reminded me to dream unapologetically. One quote that stuck with me was: Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find ways to do it. This mindset reshaped how I approached challenges this year—whether it was creating the mental health journal or planning new content. The book inspired me to set ambitious goals for 2025, such as growing Akers World into a community-driven platform where readers can share their journeys and ideas. It reinforced the idea that success isn’t just about hard work; it’s about cultivating the right mindset and daring to think bigger. Click on the below images to get these books.





















As I reflect on the journey of Akers World, one milestone that stands out is the release of my Affiliate Marketing Ebook back in 2021. Over the years, this ebook has been a valuable resource for readers looking to break into the world of affiliate marketing, and its relevance has only grown with time.

Designed to guide beginners and refine the approach of experienced marketers, the ebook is packed with actionable strategies and insights that simplify the often-complex world of affiliate marketing. From selecting the right platforms to creating content that converts, it offers a step-by-step roadmap for anyone ready to explore the potential of passive income.

Here’s what makes this Ebook a lasting resource:

  • Timeless Strategies: The foundational principles of affiliate marketing remain as impactful today as they were when the Ebook was first released.

  • Practical Guidance: Real-world examples and actionable tips help you avoid pitfalls and build a sustainable affiliate marketing approach.


As we step into 2025, the tools and techniques shared in the ebook are more relevant than ever. Whether you're just starting out or looking to optimise your current strategy, this resource can help you move closer to your goals.

Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited about the future of Akers World. Here’s what’s in store:

1. Expanding the Journal Range

Building on the success of the Men’s Mental Health Journal, I’ll be introducing more journals focused on productivity, creativity, and mindfulness. These will be designed to meet the diverse needs of readers, from busy professionals to creatives seeking inspiration.

2. Interactive Content

I plan to include more tools like downloadable resources, worksheets, and guided templates to make your experience with Akers World even more practical and actionable.

3. Building a Community

Connection is key. Next year, I aim to create an interactive platform where readers can share their journaling journeys, offer advice, and connect with like-minded individuals.

4. Strengthening the Blog’s Mission

Expect more in-depth posts about business, personal growth, and mental health. I want Akers World to remain your trusted source for inspiration and actionable insights. I will most likely increase my blog posts rather than sticking to once a month.


This year, Akers World has grown as I have joined different communities online, and it’s all thanks to you—my readers, subscribers, and supporters. Your feedback, comments, and encouragement have fuelled everything I’ve accomplished. Whether you’re someone who reads the blog, shares it with friends, or follows along on social media, your support means everything to me.


As the holiday season approaches, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope this time brings you joy, rest, and inspiration for the year ahead.
