Kim’s Philosophy for Success in 2020: Build on Small Wins
As we’re now halfway through the rollercoaster that is 2020, I wanted to share with you my updated philosophy for the year:
Build on small wins.
Everyone has a rough go of it this year. Some of us more than others! After my personal challenges in February (hello a month of Influenza A and morning sickness) I felt like my momentum would NEVER recover.
I know I wasn’t the only one who felt like throwing in the towel 60 or 90 days into 2020.
But today, June 30, I feel full of possibility for the six months ahead. I feel like challenges are coming (because that’s life) but that I’ll rise to meet them – instead of being flattened.
So what changed?
I’ve been building on small wins.
And, my friend, sometimes those wins have been microscopic!
- Folded a load of laundry (while feeling like crap) – CELEBRATE!
- Sold a “Publish Your Cookbook Workbook” – CELEBRATE!
- Finally sent off that nagging legal thing (today) – CELEBRATE!
- Wrote for 15 minutes on my book – CELEBRATE!
- Kid went to bed on time WITH eating a real dinner and taking a bath – CELEBRATE!
- Every ticket sale to my life event – CELEBRATE!
- Pulled out the trashcan for trash day – CELEBRATE!
- Sold some stuff on Craigslist – CELEBRATE!
I know that all too often we’re only looking at the BIG wins:
