Though it is only the end of August, suddenly the end of the year is in sight. It might be a bit too early to celebrate your long-term goals, but it is certainly not too early to enjoy the progress you’ve made. One of the best parts of the goal setting process is the enormous sense of gratification that comes along with accomplishment.
You have probably had a few victories this year already, or perhaps you are closer to reaching a big goal than anticipated. Take time to celebrate. Labor Day Weekend is the perfect time to take stock of your hard work and relish the sense of achievement that comes with success – whether it’s big or small.
Before you sign off for the holiday, take a moment to express your gratitude to the teammates who supported you along the way. Victory is sweeter when shared, and your team wants to relish in your success. They are the ones who experience disappointment along with you when the company falls short, and they are the ones to encourage now — a boost for all of you to finish the year with a push towards reaching those goals.
