As 2014 winds down, I can’t help but reflect on the last year and look forward to 2015.

Fortunately, as I look at my life personally and professionally, I’m excited that the path I’m on is clear.

It hasn’t always been as clear, in the past I often struggled to define what I wanted my life to be ‘when I grew up’.

This year, I was able to step back and take a 10 week road trip with my wife in September. For 63 days we were able to detach ourself from our ‘real world’ commitments and distractions. Officially, we were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary. Unofficially, it turned into a great excuse to turn off our phones, buy a surfboard on Craigslist, and grow a beard.

Over the course of 8,400 miles, we had time to talk about what we were grateful for in our life today, and what we wanted to focus on as we build our life together.

For me, the opportunity to help other entrepreneurs is one of the things that I’m excited to focus my energy on in 2015 and beyond.

As 2015 begins, I hope your able to press pause, find clarity, and begin 2015 refreshed and energized as well.
