Celebrating is always so much fun, and it only takes someone to have a party to do it.<\/p>\n<p>So this reminds me that we need to celebrate ourselves in business as well, and I know a lot of people who never do that.<\/p>\n<p>Each week I talk to my coaching clients and we talk about what they are doing, what the plan for the week is, and how they did with their goals.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, they are pretty down on themselves when they feel like they are running to catch up, or they didn&#8217;t get done what they had planned.<\/p>\n<p>So we talk about the positives &#8211; what did go right? what is the positive side of any situation? It&#8217;s motivating, yes, but it&#8217;s also celebratory, and when we realize that they are still moving forward even if they have had a so-so week, it makes us both happy!<\/p>\n<p>Celebrating your successes is really important, particularly when you are working on your own every day.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how big or small the success is, write it down! I suggest getting a success journal and just writing a few things a day.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy once you get started.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few things I bet you&#8217;ve done well this week or month that maybe you haven&#8217;t even realized:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>helping a client solve a problem<\/li>\n<li>getting your work done during business hours (no late nights!)<\/li>\n<li>holding yourself or others to a boundary<\/li>\n<li>achieving your networking goal<\/li>\n<li>cleaning up your office<\/li>\n<li>no technical issues!<\/li>\n<li>documenting some processes or your task list<\/li>\n<li>reviewing your expenses and adjusting down!<\/li>\n<li>planning a marketing goal<\/li>\n<li>took the time to have lunch with a friend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are all kinds of things that can be small successes in your everyday work week.<\/p>\n<p>Take the time to identify those things on a regular basis and you will find your mood is more positive and you will actually be empowered to get more done!<\/p>\n<p>This week, here is a short list of my successes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I am managing a client&#8217;s work while she is on holidays<\/li>\n<li>I completed a large new marketing initiative for a client<\/li>\n<li>I help a client troubleshoot technical issues for an event<\/li>\n<li>I helped a client realize her networking strategy was working!<\/li>\n<li>I finished planning the details of my upcoming group program<\/li>\n<li>I completed a new program launch setup for a client<\/li>\n<li>I wrapped up my administrative bits for my charity ball tournament, and filed everything away for next year<\/li>\n<li>I made a donation to a charity<\/li>\n<li>I got a facial!<\/li>\n<li>I paid my bills<\/li>\n<li>I cleaned out my truck<\/li>\n<li>I took the weekend off and relaxed (at a cottage and a wedding!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I could go on &#8230; you get the idea!<\/p>\n<p>Look at your own list &#8211; write it down.
