The Presidential Inauguration was an event across a few days earlier this week. There was the formal swearing in, a dinner and event, the ceremonial swearing in and speeches in front of thousands and millions by Television and internet. Various entertainers sang patriotic music and then there were dinners and balls to attend. A true celebration.

What if we extend the reasons to celebrate?
In summary, review your business plans and goals. See where it makes sense to create an event or a celebration based upon reaching a big goal by a specific date or hitting a target milestone in the business. Let people know you are planning to do this when this takes place. Have fun with it. You may find this works out so well that you will want to create more reasons to celebrate.

I recently saw a quote from Tony Robbins that said something like: worry is what people who stay stuck do. Celebration is what people who are successful do.
So, I have extrapolated from that” Celebration is the energy and the attitude of success.
I have long taught to celebrate the success you desire — no matter where you see it, and Tony’s quote brought it into an even clearer perspective.
AGREE: CELEBRATE!

And you have much celebrating to do!
Totally agree that celebration is a great motivator, inspirer and culture unifier in business Mitch. In fact I often encourage my corporate clients to look at introducing rituals and celebrations in their business as it allows the team to recognise and support innovation and cohesion.
Yes, a great way to build further team bonding.
As a former project manager and now a Certified Life Coach, I often add celebration as an action item in my projects. It’s not something that occurs as a habit for many. We just complete one projects and move on to the next…sort of robotic. Celebration and acknowledgement are actually “needs” for humans. Thanks for making this clear!…pep
The celebration event needs to be part of the outline. Just like introduction.
I’m a big fan of celebrating successes and having fun doing it!

And I would imagine the food is always great!
I agree with Trudy, it’s great and a good team experience to celebrate successes. i believe it helps morale and motivation both.
The celebration of a milestone or attaining a goal are great motivators.
For so many years I never stopped to celebrate my successes, I just moved right on to the next task … now I take the time to celebrate and business is much more fun!
There is no reason business can’t be fun! Good for you!
Thanks, Mitch — I needed this reminder! I don’t celebrate my successes enough. I tend to say: “OK, what’s next?” without giving myself a much-deserved pat on the back.
Mitch,
I love this post. Celebrating success is VITAL. That’s why I keep a journal of success and make note of accomplishments that deserve a celebration. 🙂 All too often entrepreneurs don’t take time to appreciate what they’ve accomplished and celebrating is essential.
Write on!~

The motivation to break through roadblocks sometimes just takes a look at the photo from the last celebration.
Such a great reminder! Celebrations – for small steps or huge accomplishments should always be done. It’s a great motivator and helps you see the progress that you’re really making.
Stay RADICAL,
Doreen
As each step is being taken, it is worth it to take a break and review all that has been done so far.
I love the idea of celebrating milestones and goals in business! Sometimes, as business owners, we just keep trucking along day in and day out without taking time to celebrate our accomplishments. Thanks for the important reminder.
When you have a team it is even more important to recognize how important this is – to celebrate.
