December 8, 2020

Hello Tina,

It’s hard to believe our 2020 vision got blurred shortly after take-off and yet the year passed with new hurdles, new goals and new milestones. Despite the chaos, achievements were made. How did you do?

The path of a goal, whether a goal set for your personal life or in the course of business, is generally seen as having four steps: 1) assess the situation 2) set goals for how you want it to be 3) take steps to achieve the goals, and 4) achieve the goals (completion).

After Step 4, many people return to Step 1 with the question: “OK, what’s next?” And then it’s on to Step 2 and 3 and 4 again.

Hold on. Stop right there.

There is actually a very important fifth step that many of us leave out. Read my article below to find out what you’re missing!

Many blessings to you and your family during this glorious holiday season.

Wrapping up the year? Don’t miss this step!

The path of a goal, whether a goal set for your personal life or in the course of business, is generally seen as having four steps:

Assess the situation
Set goals for how you want it to be
Take steps to achieve the goals
Achieve the goals (completion)

After Step 4, many people return to Step 1 with the question: “OK, what’s next?” And then it’s on to Steps 2 and 3 and 4 again.

Hold on. Stop right there.

There is actually a very important fifth step that many of us leave out.

Step 5 is where we celebrate our achievements! After working hard to reach our goals, taking time to celebrate gives us the opportunity to:

Capture the learning. When we take stock of what we’ve learned along the way to our goals, we can consciously incorporate those lessons in the future.
Acknowledge our internal resources. In achieving goals, we bring forth various internal resources, such as courage and persistence, to meet the challenges. To have others acknowledge us—and to give ourselves credit, as well—is deeply satisfying. Too often, we miss seeing these qualities in ourselves and others. Acknowledging our strengths has the power to call us forth to use them even more.
Build a sense of unity. Nothing can bond people more than striving toward a common goal and then sharing in the joy of the achievement. However, if you don’t stop to appreciate the people who helped make it happen, connection and goodwill can break down. Your team will feel more inclined to go the extra mile if you give them the appreciation they deserve.
Send a message to others. Stopping to savor and celebrate your successes sends the message to others that you know how to appreciate this success and that you are ready for more!
Have fun! Knowing that you get to celebrate in a fun way after your goal is achieved is a great motivator. You’ve done a fantastic job—of course, you want to be rewarded with some fun and enjoyment. You deserve it!

There are countless ways to celebrate and savor your successes.

As this year comes to a close, remember what you did well, what you learned, and what you will do differently as you begin a fresh start in the coming year.

Teetering: A Frazzled, Overworked Person's Guide to Embrace Change and Find Balance by Tina Asher

Have you climbed the ladder of success only to find that it isn't all it's cracked up to be? Do you feel stuck, teetering between the life you've built versus the life you actually want? Teetering is for you!

Author Tina Asher once poured herself into her corporate career to provide what she thought her family needed, only to find out that the price she paid was much higher than she bargained for. She was so busy making a living that she forgot to make a life. Always on the go, traveling every week, and tied to technology even when she was at home, things eventually collapsed. Follow her journey through success and setbacks and learn to avoid the messy pitfalls that keep you from enjoying the purposeful, peaceful life you deserve.
