The Micro-Wins Effect: How Celebrating Progress Leads to Success
Manage episode 311038023 series 3081213
Every day you accomplish great things that come in small packages. Small wins are the sparks that ignite the brightest fire! Perhaps you smoothed over some concern with a client that will result in a windfall of future referrals. You may have made a few phone calls that will get the ball rolling on an important project. Or maybe you adhered to your health goals today that created momentum to stick with it again tomorrow. Even our mistakes hold within them the Seeds of Success.
Celebrating our small wins reinforces the behaviors that lead to a willingness to repeat those same positive actions tomorrow. Tracking our progress and acknowledging our efforts, both great and small, triggers the release of dopamine by the reward center of our brain. As a result, we essentially develop an addiction to progress. Make time for a weekly scheduled appointment for you to intentionally review your week, and identify all your micro-wins. Feel the win to generate more confidence and enthusiasm for your progress.
As you celebrate your wins, both personal and professional, and the wins of your team, your business becomes more desirable to others. The Brain is a Bank. Perception becomes reality. Others will respond and want to participate in what you are successfully building long before it is ever built.
