2014 Year-End Review And My 2015 New Year's Resolutions

I kicked myself in the butt to put this list together. I decided to write a year-end review for 2014 and a list of New Year's resolutions for 2015. This turned out to be an awesome exercise. If you haven’t done one yet, I highly recommend it. It is a great exercise to help you contrast your intentions with your actual accomplishments for the passing year, as well as give a new chance to put your 2015 goals in perspective. I was a bit too harsh on myself about not being able to accomplish enough in 2014 until I wrote this list and realized I am actually very proud for what I did last year. There is definitely lots of room for improvement but every day I am given is a new chance for intentionally creating an awesome life.

2014

GOAL	INTENTION	ACCOMPLISHMENT
Improve relationships		I joined a mastermind group where I ended up making great friendships with a group of awesome entrepreneurs. Opportunities and more focused mastermind groups have come out as a result of making this one of my top priorities for the year.
Start a podcast and an online brand called Baby in Bloom		I started an awesome blog and podcast but it fizzled out in just 6 months. I learned a great deal about this experience and this has set the stage for my future projects.
Work on my health	I wanted to reduce my social drinking but this was just the intention. I failed poorly at this last year.	My workout rate was not great but I managed to be successful in the last quarter. I ended up dropping 7 lbs as a result. My cholesterol improved a bit but still have a way to go.
Start a SAAS business		I started the business with a partner and picked up two paying clients over the course of the year.
Be a fulltime Entrepreneur	I ended up taking a job in Corporate America after 6 years of being a full time Entrepreneur mainly because my business was not making enough. I wanted to break free before the year end and gain my freedom back, but I was not able to make my business profitable enough to support my family so I remain a full time employee.
Work on my personal brand	I wrote a few blog post but not as many as I had intended. This is something I still need to improve on.	Started my own YouTube channel focused on tech videos. I have posted 4 videos so far, have 40 subscribers and over 15k views overall. I'm still finding my voice with this and I know this will grow much bigger in 2015. I feel I’m on to something as the response from my audience has been really positive and encouraging.

One of my main goals for 2014 was to meet new people and improve the quality of the people I surround myself with which it turned out to be a great success. My biggest loss this year was my FREEDOM as an entrepreneur.

2015 

1. Stay on top of my fitness and improve my health.
2. Finish the latest version of my tracking software for mobile and web-based applications.

2. Publish Website and create a social media presence for the software.

3. Create a marketing campaign that reaches out to new clients.

4. Upgrade all software documentation.

5. Train sales reps and technical resources to help us grow the business.

6. Pick up 4 more clients by July 1st 2015.

7. Be more active in my mastermind groups and attend more mastermind meetings.

8. Create more content for my Tech Talk YouTube channel.

9. Create a blog and podcast around my YouTube channel's content.

10. Turn my tech content into an E-Book to sell  on Amazon.

11. Create a video course to be sold through U-Demy no later than Dec 31st 2015.

This exercise has helped me tremendously to understand where I have been to in the previous year and where I am going to in the new year. I hope the same for you and wish that this can help you create a framework for yourself to to stay focus and keep your New Year's resolutions on track. Best of luck!
