Fast Tip Friday: Big Goals, Bigger Celebrations

Hey everybody, Sarah Waple here, president of Growth Dynamics, and I’m going to be bringing you some Fast Tip Fridays.

For today’s tip, we are pulling from a list of all the things Charlie says that I should turn into articles, stories, podcasts, or in this case, Fast Tip Fridays. If you’ve been in class with Charlie long enough, you know this list well.

From this list today, I am bringing you this gem. I don’t know when he said it or how long ago it was, but it’s one that I think about all the time: We are responsible for the celebrations we get to enjoy.

So what does this mean in terms of Fast Tip Friday? If you have big things in your life, if you have big plans and big goals, whether it’s a celebration like a party, maybe a vacation, maybe a big over-the-top event that you’ve been waiting to plan, you’re responsible for that at the very beginning of your day.

Whether you are making your sales calls, whether you are doing your 100-point week, is your activity and dedication matching the level of celebration that you want to enjoy later? These things often get separated into work life and home life, but so often they blend together. We need to have success in one to have success in the other, and vice versa.

So make sure you are taking care of everything you want to take care of at work so you can enjoy those celebrations later down the road. That is our Fast Tip Friday for today. Have a great weekend.
