How will you celebrate?

Every year on this day we celebrate or nations birthday, with fireworks.  We do this to commemorate the great accomplishment of becoming an independent nation.  Cook outs, parties, and the day off from work is a great way to celebrate Independence day.  How do you celebrate it?  How do you celebrate your birthday or other holidays?  How will you celebrate your first successful year in business?

Haven't thought about it yet huh?  Well you should.  You should have as part of your game plan how you plan to reward yourself for all of the hard work you have done.  Not only after a year but after milestones as well.  To be successful in business you need to have effective goals in place.  Short term as well as long term goals that are trackable and realistic.  When you reach a milestone you should reward yourself.  This is when having a vision board pays off.  A vision board is a board (like the one in school for science projects) that you place pictures on of things you desire.

 Pictures of exotic cars, million dollar dream homes, businesses you want to own and schools you want to open are a few things that one might place on a vision board.  Smaller things can also be put on it such as clothes, jewelry, gadgets that might currently be out of your price range.  Even if it is something that you can afford currently, putting off on buying it now is great motivation to achieve your goals so that you you can reward your self with it later.

So if you are truly serious about business and your success in it, make sure you get yourself a vision board, start taking your goals, and reward yourself for your accomplishments. This will motivate you to do more which will elevate your business to greater heights. So enjoy this 4th of July have fun and remember to save a plate for me.  : )
