“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.” – Benjamin Franklin 

Picture This . . .

It is December 31, 2015.

You are having dinner with your family.

The discussion turns to 2015.

Wow!  What a year.

2015 was one of your most successful years ever.

• What did you achieve?
• What obstacles did you overcome?
• What comfort zone did you leave?
• What did you accomplish?
• What new skills did you develop?
• What risks did you take?
• What books did you read?
• What people did you meet?
• What new places did you explore?
• What bad habits did you break?
• What positive habits did you START?
• What goals did you reach?
• What limits did you destroy?

Each new year starts with promise and hope.

It’s an opportunity to start fresh.  It’s a chance to begin again.

Seize this opportunity.

• Stop and reflect.
• Be GRATEFUL for all your blessings.
• Acknowledge what you need to change.
• Find the courage to take the 1st step.
• Take action.

RESOLUTION QUESTION:  How will 2015 be different for you?

What’s holding you back from having a BREAK OUT 2015?

Only 3 things are in your way:

• Your EGO.
• Your HABITS.
• Your FEAR.

Jon Acuff wrote to succeed you must, “Punch fear in the face.”

Come out of the gates on January 1, 2015 swinging.

• DECLUTTER your life.
• Take on that new challenge.
• Show your GRATITUDE.
• Reconnect with old friends.
• Be more EMPATHETIC.
• Grow your business.
• Ask more questions.
• Be less judgemental.
• Do work that matters.
• Create awesome memories.

Make 2015 one of the defining years of your life.

• Take risks.
• Celebrate your failures.

Make 2015 the year you said farewell to AVERAGE and rang in REMARKABLE.

– Joe Ciccarone
