THE TECHNOLOGY OF CELEBRATION™




How Paying Attention to Small Wins Fuels Big Success
Executives and entrepreneurs tend to swing for the fence, and
often only claim success when the ball goes out of the park.
But what creates big wins is usually an accumulation of small
victories over time.




Without a way to celebrate small victories, the pursuit of long-term
goals can feel like a trudge. In a slow economy, when funds are hard
to find, when sales are even harder, when your goal seems to move
farther away with every step, even the most confident executive can
start to feel a little discouraged.
That’s why celebration is so important in business.
So important, in fact, we believe it deserves its own technology.




                                Kim Sawyer, Executive Coach and
                                President of theWealth Source®,
                                has developed a simple system called
                                The Technology of Celebration™.


Celebration is an acknowledgment and appreciation of value. Our
process leverages the value of celebrating small wins in achieving big
success.
Here’s how it works:
Set up a spreadsheet with the following headings:




 Date
                                    Value It Adds
        WIN                         to Others                                           Share
                     What It Adds
                     to My Life

                                                    How It Makes
                                                    the World Better

                                                                       What Qualities
                                                                       Enabled It
Under “WIN,” enter a concise statement that expresses the essence
of your accomplishment in words that have impact for you. For
example, imagine you are trying to acquire a new company, a long
and uncertain process. But today you completed a thorough strategic
review that verified their financial statements. That’s a win!




           “Finished reviewing
           acquisition financials”
In the second column, you might describe how it added to your
life by confirming your instincts that this acquisition is a good deal,
strengthening your negotiating position and bringing you a step closer
to your vision. Besides, it feels good!




                       “Validated my insticts that the
                       acquisition is a good deal”
Next, you could note that your win adds value to your partners
and employees by giving them greater confidence in you and the
acquisition – and that perhaps it gives your spouse and family more
increased hope for more prosperity and security.




                             “Moves the company one
                             step closer to a higher level of
                             prosperity, and gives my family
                             some relief from the stress”
Then be bold and allow yourself a bit of healthy grandiosity by writing
that the win makes the world a little better by creating new wealth
and opportunity. No win is insignificant; it always has distant ripple
effects that you may never know about.




                                           “Creates value for customers
                                           and shareholders; enables us
                                           to fulfill our mission”
The next column is where you get to inventory the capabilities
and qualities that have been revealed by the win. This knowledge
about yourself is pivotal to your further success. In this case, it might
demonstrate your expertise in business finance and your rigorous
attention to detail.




                                                  “Experience, leadership
                                                  ability, negotiation skills,
                                                  financial acumen, patience,
                                                  perserverance”
Finally, when you share your win with someone else, you make the
celebration tangible and emotionally impactful. Remember that a
success shared is doubled, while a struggle shared is halved.




                                                   Who you shared your win with
