This is me.

![This\_is\_me](https://www.rickroberge.com/hs-fs/hub/229131/file-2278231678.jpg)

This is me 40 years ago (with our Irish Setter, Luke).

![001](https://www.rickroberge.com/hs-fs/hub/229131/file-2280347026.jpg?width=444&name=file-2280347026.jpg)

Are you done laughing?

Here's my point. 40 years. 100 pounds. It didn't happen overnight and a lot of things factored in.

So, here's the first thing that ***you can do today***.

**Realize** that I didn't get old and fat in a day. Rome wasn't built in a day. You can't become 40 years richer, or more experienced or more successful on January 1st, but you can start.

---

The second thing ***you can do today*** is commit to a *personally meaningful* goal and develop a plan to attain it.

If you've done it already, congratulations! Register for the **[2015 Goal Setting- Training Session](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-goal-setting-training-session-tickets-14914921933)** to compare your process and plan to ours. Use "RRguest" as the discount code to get a free pass.

If you haven't done it and you don't know where to start, register for the **[2015 Goal Setting- Training Session](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-goal-setting-training-session-tickets-14914921933)** to learn our process. Use "RRguest" as the discount code to get a free pass.

You may also want to ask yourself **[these questions](https://www.rickroberge.com/business-growth)** and/or set up a conversation to get answers and talk about 2015.

---

Finally, the third thing that ***you can do today*** is to start hanging around with like minded people. My tennis coach used to force me to 'play up', to play against players that were better than me. I had to work harder, use the stuff that my coach taught me. I got better.

I like tough prospects. They make it fun. Winning matters, but being tested, playing the game well and winning, that's what life is all about.

Stop hanging around and associating with losers and small thinkers. GBOGH might work for you. Hang out with winners and big thinkers.

If you're gonna be at Hubspot on January 21st, register for **[Sales Accelerators](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sales-accelerators-monthly-networking-event-hubspot-tickets-14859728849)** today and if you don't have a coach that gets you and can help, whose fault is that?
