I realize we all
have a gazillion things
to do.
As business builders,
we can always do
a little bit more,
work
a little bit harder.
But when you reach
a special milestone
or you see success
on something,
take a day (or more)
to celebrate.
When I have
a book release
(product release),
I take the day off
fresh writing
(product development).
I enjoy the release.
I talk to excited
readers (customers)
and that makes me
more excited
about what I’m doing.
I deal with the small issues
that always come up.
I talk to friends and family
about the release.
I eat cake
and reread the book
and watch my sales move.
The next day,
I’m invigorated.
I’m excited.
The ideas are flowing
and so is the energy.
And I know
if I work my a$$ off
and get the next book (product)
done,
I can have another celebration
like the one
I just had.
Take time to celebrate
your successes.
