I exercised almost every day in 2015. In July, I hired a personal trainer and swapped [writing at 5:00 AM](http://thesalesblog.com/blog/2015/03/29/my-morning-ritual/) every day for deadlifts, squats, floor press, and body weight exercises. I have eaten a vegetarian diet for a solid year, and on a lot of days, I have been “vegan until dinner.” I have taken up meditation and a spiritual practice with a teacher who has helped me see all the ways that I am my biggest obstacle. I have consistently been more patient, more compassionate, and more empathetic (even though my wife insists there is still a lot of room for growth). I finished editing my first book and agreed to a two-book deal with a major publisher (The books will be released in the Fall of 2016 and 2017). I had well over 1,000,000 page views here at The Sales Blog. I posted every day this year, making it six years running (Still minus those 13 days in Tibet.) With [my mastermind group](http://www.virtualsaleskickoff.com), I held my first live public event in Washington, DC. My greatest asset is my family. This year marked 20 years married to my best friend. Record sales in my businesses. #### Debits Even though I am a vegetarian, I too often ate poorly. A lot of bad, easy-to-find food is vegetarian. I also haven’t done well with supplements, and I don’t drink nearly enough water. I haven’t treated time with the respect it deserves. Knowing how little you have, you shouldn’t waste a second. I let work get in the way of vacations because I wasn’t [proactive](http://thesalesblog.com/blog/2015/03/21/proactive-and-reactive-work-and-recovery/) enough in scheduling them. I haven’t planned my work well enough in advance. I didn’t delegate enough work. I didn’t automate enough work. And I didn’t eliminate enough work. I (still) haven’t moved fast enough on some opportunities. On balance, an excellent year.
