Celebrate Every Entrepreneurial Moment

How To Become An Entrepreneur

I have not yet achieved the pinnacle of my success.  Better said, I don’t know if I have. 

You don’t know if you have had your biggest moment yet, either.

Successful moments happen all the time, but it is only when we look into our past that we can pick the highlights.  To make matters more complicated, as more time passes things that initially seemed insignificant become very significant and vice versa.

Taking this logic a step further, it’s only on our death bed that we will be able to identify our biggest accomplishment.  And what a miserable thing that would be…. to wait to our last breath to recognize the big moment.

So, I say screw it.  Don’t wait to know.  Instead celebrate every moment. 

Perhaps the fact you started a new service at your office today, will be the big payoff ten years later.  Or maybe that new client you landed today is going to bring in millions tomorrow. Who knows?

The key therefore is to celebrate every success, every day.  Big, small or seemingly indifferent, celebrate it.  One of them was the big one, and now you have it covered.  Plus celebrating successes of any size is just plain old good fun.

    I totally agree with you. I celebrate every article, every sale, every moment where I use my creative energies towards my success. I don’t even have a magical dollar figure that I use in my mind’s eye as my goal either. Everyday consists of me trying to outdo my efforts of the previous day. It keeps me motivated.

      @Karla – Kudos to you! How do you keep track of your successes? Do you use a journal?

    Celebrate every moment!
    I love and live by this ideal. Even the most horrific, tragic moments are worthy of celebration.
    Why?
    Because experiencing the worst makes experiencing the “okay” great, and the “great” out-of-this-world phenomenal.

    Great thought. We should focus on every day successes not just the bigger ones. One of my successful moments is when I graduated college with my degree in Human Development.
