Ep 9 - Cause for Celebration

 Well, hello, everybody. We're down to our episode nine. And this is what I think is a really good topic today, which is cause for celebration. I think us as a trio have gone very far with all of our sessions. And I want to introduce you again to our wonderful panel that we have on this podcast, Lizzie McCaulay. Hello! Sam Winchh. Well, hello there and Nikki Cali. And look, if you want to know who we are, you'll see all the details in the show notes. I just want to get on with this episode because I think it's a really cool one to access and acknowledge with respect to celebrating the wins, the challenges that we might go through when we're trying to build a package and an offer. I'm going to go straight to you, Lizzie, because you were the number one person and you've taught me this. From very beginning to be your own cheerleader, share, share with us what this all means. Well, we, yeah, we've, we've covered it in, in some bits and bobs along the way through the episodes, but you know, if, if you love, if you love, love what you've brought together, then that love, love, love is infectious as well. Right. You've put your heart and soul into it. Last, mirroring back onto the standard of quality and the care and the kindness. to yourself that you would give to others and put that into the work that you do. So celebrate, there's a lot of growth in producing something like this, whether it, whether it's a course, whether it's an ebook, whether it's a series of videos, like it takes time and care and attention and a little piece of ourselves to Goes with each thing we create, doesn't it? You know, it's, it means something to us. So to complete that thing and send that piece of us out into the world is a super, super big deal and I really honestly do believe that that is a hundred percent cause for celebration, it's something. But I personally think I don't do very well, that I get so caught up in the busyness of life and business and entrepreneurship and whatever else. There's always a next thing, and like, maybe that's me, right? There's always a new shiny thing, but there's always a next thing. And so often when I finish something, I just, I, I move on to the next thing. Like, cool, tick box, done, check off. I go, all right, now what's next? And I power on forward. But I think that I'm not great at pausing and going. Wow. That was a big thing. And I've even like recently I finished this huge client project. It was a delivery that was spanned about a year and a half. It was like 36 huge accredited units. It was this massive, massive delivery. And I finally hit send on the last one and I messaged a friend and I was like, Oh my God, I hit send on the last one. She's like, cool. How are you celebrating? And I went, Oh I don't know, like I click send and I just move on to the next client project. She's like, no, you idiot. No, I needed someone to call me out. Right. And go, hang on, you did a thing like pause. Stop. You be proud of yourself. You did a thing. And I, I know I'm not great at it, but I've seen it in my audience as well. Right. We just power them forward. And we're not great at going, Whoa, I did that. How cool is that? Yeah. You need those little wins, don't you? And it's just, and I, you know, something I'm learning. Along this path is, you know, I, I shouldn't rely on other people's appreciation of what I'm doing to feel like I've made a win. And to celebrate, I think one thing I've learned is celebrate, I'm laughing because this is like the most simplest thing, but I've, you know, taught, I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I've taught my daughter to, you know, and my son is going to be doing this as soon as he's old enough, but do your bit. In the morning, because at least if you've had a crappy day, by the end of that day, you can celebrate that you've actually achieved that one thing. And I think it comes down to, you could be building massive courses, whatever it is, programs, but celebrate those wins that are along the way. Just like you, your learners have to celebrate a win that they've achieved a task or whatever. You've got to do the same for yourself, how you celebrate that. I think the number one thing I share with my, you know, Anyone that I help coach or whatever, even friends, family, it's just. Have a board up next to you or an image or a checklist of things that you want to do that will help you celebrate, like go for a massage or go for that long walk or Nick off for a weekend and with the girls, whatever it is like write that list and have your little bucket list of celebrations. So when you do go through things and you know, you achieve things, tap yourself on the back and actually do them. Do you think that comes partly into And any one individual's measure of success as well, because it's different for everybody. If that, if the thing that you create gets you closer to the version of success ...
