Before last night’s celebration of the new year, I did one last thing for my 2023 goals and successes.
Last year my clients were uncommonly successful and as a result, 6 Figure Trainers had their best year to date.
I am someone who loves life on two wheels.
So my reward for achieving my goals was the purchase of a new bicycle.
I know that may not excite you, but it’s a perfect reward for me!
What would be perfect for you?
We set goals for our businesses and work our butts off.
Why? The why is usually big and oftentimes more than a little bit scary.
I have seen so many people achieve their goals and when I ask them how they celebrated the goal, they really don’t have an answer. Sometimes I hear that goal achievement is its own reward.
While I don’t disagree with this thinking, there is one more step missing.
To cement your victory in your mind, you need to celebrate in some kind of tangible way. It could be a physical thing, such as my bike, or an experience such as a trip, a special meal, or a night on the town.
If it is a physical object, every time you look at it, you will be reminded of the goal you achieved and the feelings you had at that moment.
If your reward is an experience, create a physical object to remind you of the event. A printed picture on your wall works great as does a ticket stub or receipt from the concert you attended.
Our minds can play tricks on us, and over time negativity can creep in when we are facing new and daunting goals.
The physical reminder we look at every day works wonders by reminding us how special we are and that we can achieve this new challenge in front of us.
You have your goals for the next year. Now figure out how you are going to reward yourself when you have achieved your goal.
Keep a picture of it in front of you every day and when you hit the milestone, go and treat yourself to the thing in your picture.
Do this over and over again, and create a portfolio of all your successes.
Do this and you’ll crush your goals in 2024 and beyond!
