Tip of the Week
Take Time To Celebrate
There was a lot of celebrating going on over the last week. Out With The Old and In With The New. Are you feeling good and revitalized now?  How much did taking a little time out to celebrate lift your spirits?
I encourage you to start to make this part of your routine. Every win you celebrate brings more wins to you. The power of positive thinking is absolutely amazing.
As you sit and your write your New Year’s resolutions, I encourage you to focus in on some realistically obtainable goals.  Your goals could be as simple as “Set up 10 meetings with friends”, “Find 3 new companies I’ve never heard of”, “Get an Interview”, “Take A Nap Every Afternoon”. I don’t care what your goals are – just set them.
Once you have reached a goal (or perhaps a milestone to a goal) take a moment to celebrate. When you get that phone call telling you that you have an interview, set down the remote, stand up in your jammies and do a little happy dance. When you get the name of a new contact from a friend, stick your chest out and crow like a rooster (okay, maybe not right in front of them). When you complete an interview, do not go home afterwards go straight to Amy’s Ice Cream and buy yourself an triple decker ice cream cone. If you have had any wins this week, no matter how small, I want you to go out in your backyard right now and scream at the top of your lungs “I AM A WINNER”. You should do this 3 or 4 times to get the full effect. By full effect I mean that you will fall down laughing at yourself for feeling so silly. If you can, record a video and send it to me. 
Okay, maybe you don’t stop and celebrate in the same way that I do. But I do want you to go out and celebrate. Embrace those wins and love every second of them.
Guys, we only get one shot at life. In the times of your greatest despair you need to take a moment to sit back and laugh at yourself.
