- A Year In Review
Merry Christmas
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas Day yesterday.
I spent the weekend with family and watching my kids rip open presents.
Today’s Quote
Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have left to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
A Year In Review
You’ve done more than you realize.
We often get lost in the chase.
The yearning for what’s next.
The desire for more.
It’s good to have big dreams.
It’s good to aspire to great things.
But we must never lose sight all that we accomplished along the way.
Too often the drive for more, blinds us from all that we’ve already accomplished.
I bet you’d be surprised at all that’s happened this last year.
Take some time this week to reflect on 2023.
Did you do what you set out to do?
How will you continue in 2024?
How will you change?
My year in review
This is has been an eventful and memorable year.
In January my kids and I built our first real snowman and Charlie experienced her first ball drop at 1.5 months old.
Sayler got her teeth cleaned for the first time in February.
It was also around this time that I decided I was going to sell my gym.
We officially were making plans to move our family and change everything this coming summer.
In April my son went to his first ever movie Super Mario Bros.
On May 1st I officially stepped away from the gym and started to work on things to get the house ready to sell.
I turned 40 in June.
We did a family trip to Hilton Head which was incredible.
When we got back our house had officially gone into contract.
I became stay home dad while getting things packed and ready to sell.
The first week in July I started working on the new house.
Painting, finishing the floors, changing outlets and light fixtures.
We officially moved July 15th.
From there it has been a whirlwind.
I built out a home gym and set up my office.
Got Hunter into school.
Became a coach for Wooster High School Softball.
Decided to be stay-home dad for the the time being to save money.
Finished writing one book and started another.
Went to 3 incredible football games to support my guy Dewayne’s final season.
Hosted another Edge of Greatness Summit.
Had my podcast get picked up by a television network (NGBN).
Became a small percentage owner in that network.
Started renovations on my kitchen in the middle of all of this.
I’ve also been able to make some incredible connections via X and LinkedIn that have me excited about the direction for 2024.
The days go slow, but the years go fast.
So fast sometimes we don’t realize what all we’ve accomplished.
Take a moment and look back on 2023 and see just how far you’ve come.

Need a Coach?
As an athlete I always appreciated good coaching.
It often made the difference between a successful season and an average one.
When you’ve got big goal to compete at the highest level, it helps to have someone looking at the big picture, while you focus on the specific actions.
Have you got something big coming up?
Need someone to help organize the path forward?

I've spent the last 15 years working with clients as a personal trainer and coach helping them build healthy sustainable habits.
During this time I've learned the psychology of habit creation, the power of systems, and why simple works better.
