You Need to Win Along the Way
Summary
- I emphasize that someone skilled in running understands the value of rewards along the journey, like the feeling of having just a few minutes left of a treadmill session.
- It's important to find various ways to measure progress because the more you measure, the more you can celebrate victories.
- I suggest actively seeking out milestones to make the process itself feel like a win, reinforcing the effort put into staying the course.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing small rewards throughout your journey. For example, if you're working on a big project, set up little celebrations for each part you complete. It's like when you're running and looking forward to having just a few minutes left. Those are mini-wins that keep you going.
A good way of doing things is to find different ways to measure your wins. You could track how many new customers you get, how many tasks you finish, or how much you learn each day. The more things you measure, the more you can have those little victories. This makes it easier to see how far you've come, and it's motivating.
I suggest actively seeking out milestones. If you're growing a business, maybe a milestone is your first sale or a great customer review. For personal growth, it could be reading a book a month. When you hit these milestones, it's important to take a moment to feel proud. This makes the hard work worth it and helps you stick with it.
Remember, progress itself is a win. When you're working on something tough, don't just wait for the finish line to celebrate. Enjoy the small steps you're taking every day. They add up to big things, and celebrating them keeps you moving forward. Keep looking for those little rewards and victories on your path!
