Let's celebrate every single achievement we have and keep the feeling as well as keep the momentum. I love that feeling also.
[ Celebrate your wins, everytime … ]
When I first started my career in sales, I had a great mentor. I always looked up to him for advise. There was this one time, when I successfully close my first maiden deal (back then, a closed deal does not mean successfully collected payment). However it was pretty major for me. So, my mentor said to me, “Take the rest of the day off, and go celebrate it with your special someone”. Then I told him, “But, I have not received any payment from this client of mine, best to celebrate when I complete this project.”
I still remember what he said to me till this very day, “Sean, you are to celebrate your victories every step of the way. You don’t have to be lavish in your celebration, but do it to recognise your achievement. This recognition serves as your energy source and more importantly to motivate you to move on to the next goal, the next pitch and the next. Make sure you remember this great feeling when you achieve something that you have set out to achieve.”
It is through this celebratory art form, that you will find your next energy to push on further and to excel in whatever you do. At Big Bath, we practice this through and through; Our culture encourages our team members to recognise each other and to celebrate our wins. Eg. A newbie having able to close a deal (big or small) calls for a celebration with the team. A lorry driver able to get good comments from the customer, we celebrate and encourages his/ her attitude.
I highly encourage all to share this celebratory message out to the people you care the most.
