Episode Synopsis

Welcome to episode 30! What was your most recent personal business win and how did you celebrate it? If you’re like most high achievers in Direct Sales, you have to pause to think about your answer to these questions. Typically, most women I’ve worked with, do not recognize most of their business accomplishments or pause to celebrate them. You’re all busy and excited to celebrate your team! I know. Doing this for yourself doesn’t come as naturally or with as high of a priority.Today we’re here to talk about the importance of you recognizing your own personal wins AND celebrating them. I’m also here to give you a permission slip to do so if that’s what’s holding you back.  You can find the full transcript of this episode at crazybigdreams.biz/30.Two Important Reasons to Celebrate Business Wins as a High Achiever in Direct SalesThere are two important reasons it’s important for you to recognize your own business wins and one compelling reason why we typically don’t celebrate ourselves. It may surprise you. The first reason it’s important for you to acknowledge and pause to celebrate your own business wins is your future team success depends on it. The alternative is burnout. How will you sustain the work that gets you celebratory wins if you’re suffering from burnout? You can’t. Plain and simple.Burnout and Celebrating Business Wins as a High Achiever in Direct SalesTo sustain the level of activity you and your team work for, the wins, require endurance. And fueling that endurance can be so much more enjoyable and easier by simply celebrating the wins along the way. I know, you love what you do, and feel so blessed for the opportunity you have and the business you’ve built, that celebrating your business success doesn’t feel necessary. You get to do what you love with people you love day in and day out. How could you possibly be at risk of burnout? Well, if you’ve experienced burnout in the past, you already know this reality. The simple truth is that burnout typically sneaks up on us, especially when we’re engaged in work that we love. And, you’re a human, friend, so of course, you’re at risk for burnout. We all are.The simple truth is that it’s important to diversify your anti-burnout strategies. When you have antidotes to protect yourself you’re preserving your future team's success as a result. Celebrating your personal wins along the way is one important antidote many aren’t tapping into.Leading by Example as a Direct Sales Leader When Celebrating Business WinsThe second reason it’s important to celebrate your personal business wins is that it sets an example for your emerging leaders. Modeling the celebration of personal wins along the way teaches your emerging leaders that it’s not only ok but important to do so. I know what you might be thinking. Celebrating yourself in front of your team is taboo. We all get that. Unless it’s a company-sponsored big win like a rank advancement or incentive, yet still many high achievers get a little uncomfortable with putting that attention on themselves. Yes, they want their team to see what’s possible, but many high-achieving leaders don’t like that attention on themselves. You can go about celebrating your personal wins, big or small, and still include your team. How? You can mention how you celebrated, big or small, in common communication. Simply by answering the question “How are you?” or “What did you do this weekend.” For the complete episode go to crazybigdreams.biz/30.
