How do you celebrate your successes?

As the Self Discovery Success Club launched last week, I am very much reminded about the concept of success and the different meanings that the word success has to different people.  Whether it is a big or a small success, like many people I forget to celebrate my successes and need reminding!

Here are some tips that you can follow to celebrate your successes.

1. Keep a success journal

The first 10 people who signed up to the Self Discovery Success Club received a Louise L Hay journal to record their successes.  I've had great feedback and I love this journal as it includes inspirational quotes and beautiful illustrations to motivate you to record what has gone well for you.

To keep a success journal, develop a habit of recording your top 3 successes every evening in a journal or notebook  before going to bed.  What has gone well that day? What have you learnt? Who has been your inspiration? You have a motivational record of what has gone well whenever you need a boost and can also remind yourself of how far you have developed your skills.

2. Have a plan and take action!

If you want to achieve a goal or objective, develop a plan for your success.  Once you know what you want to achieve, you can start moving in the right direction.  But the most important part of your plan is taking action, taking single steps each day to achieve your dreams or ambitions.

3. Know your why

Although you might have a great plan and be taking consistent action, sometimes it is easy to fall off track and lose your reason for doing something.  If this has happened to you, reconnect with yourself.  Remind yourself of your 'why'.  Your 'why' is the reason you are doing something, and when you know your why, you can start reworking on the 'how' you are going to achieve it.

4. Enjoy the journey and the successes you have along the way

If you are always striving for the next big thing, you will never take time to enjoy the individual successes along the way.  Take time to focus on the things that have gone well and the good things that have happened to you.  Just like you would break a large goal down into manageable chunks, do the same with your successes.

Three free time management tips

Do you find it hard to fit everything into your life? Let me share three top time management tips with you.  These are taken from the e-book, 20 tips for better time management, which is downloadable free as part of your membership to the Self Discovery Success Club which launches tomorrow. Find out more here.

1. Think about how you currently spend your time. Keep a time log for a week, breaking your days into detailed sections. If you work, what are you actually doing and how long does it take you? Once you find out how you spend your time, you can identify the time wasters and what you could do to better manage your time.

2. It may help to take time out to look at where you are currently. Do you want to carry on working the way you are? Do you have enough time to spend with your friends and family? Do you have enough time for your hobbies and leisure time? Once you have decided where you want to spend your time, you can make changes to that area of your life.

3. Be prepared to make drastic changes to your life. Identify areas where you waste time and avoid these activities. Also, be aware of the activities which take up too much your time and find new and creative ways of doing things.

How can you be more efficient?

Over the last few weeks, I have been putting together my material for the Self Discovery Success Club which launches on 2 March. I've been amazed by the amount of resources I have and would like to share a short time management tip with you today.

Have you heard of the ‘Pareto principle’?  It is probably better known as the 80/20 rule.  This means that 20% of all your activities will account for 80% of your results.

Consider what tasks or activities will give you the best outcome and return on your time.  Then if you achieve those most important things, you will get the best results.

What activities are the most rewarding and productive for you, and which are not?

Find out what would give you the best 80% and spend your time on these activities. Let me know how you get on!
