Time to celebrate!!🎉

Doubling the number of success stories [The Writer’ s Life]( February 26, 2024 "Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity every time." – Ted Capshaw, AWAI Chief Success Officer Hi {NAME}, Two years ago, we set out to DOUBLE the number of success stories we could turn out in a year here at AWAI … Our measurement tool was being able to celebrate a new one every single day of the year. We succeeded that year … and the year after … and are on pace again this year … Some weeks managing to celebrate two or three times the goal. As part of that original mission, Monday Morning Jumpstart was born … Its intention was simple: to start each week setting you up for success. And today, I'm excited to announce, we're celebrating our 100th episode!! So, what better topic to cover than the power of celebration?! 😉 [AWAI Monday Morning Jumpstart Celebrate]( In this Jumpstart, AWAI's Chief Success Officer, Ted Capshaw and our Director of Training, Jade Trueblood dive into the numerous benefits … including the necessity to release any ego that gets in your way of celebrating. Many of us were told not to brag, right? But Ted points out, that by celebrating and sharing YOUR successes, you give others permission to celebrate too. And as a study in the Harvard Business Review proved, progress leads to motivation which leads to more progress … Celebrating reinforces that you are in fact making forward progress! Not sure what to celebrate? EVERYTHING … big and small … - Getting a byline. - Completing a program. - Getting certified. - Landing your first client. - Landing your second client. - Landing your 20th client. - Collecting your first paycheck. Collecting your 100th paycheck (and every one in between)! - Increasing your fees. - Achieving a goal. - Achieving a new record. - A client saying how much they love your writing. - Writing for 20 minutes every day this week.
