When was the last time you celebrated?

Being in business for yourself can be tough.  We are our own worst enemy.  We tend to be more critical of ourselves than anyone else and we are quick to chide ourselves for errors or missed deadlines.  But what about all the times that you get it right?   What about completing a major project like opening a new store – I bet you celebrate that with a grand opening.  What about projects that are just as important or even more important than a story opening?  Projects that aren’t that glamorous.  What do you do when you’ve completed your business plan or developed a budget or a sales and marketing calendar?  Do you celebrate then?  Do you treat yourself to something special? 

If we are our own worst enemy, than we sure as heck better be our own best friend.  The last step of every project that I work on with my clients is “Celebrate”.  That is probably the most important thing to get right.  So next time you finish a task or project regardless of how glamorous (or not) it is, be sure to treat yourself.  You’ve earned it.
