The Dirty Napkin 002 - You Get What You Celebrate

grat·i·tude
/ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/
noun
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

Your brain on thankfulness is a beautiful thing. By focusing on what you appreciate you shift your life into a whole new gear. You’re no longer wasting time wallowing in self-pity or comparing yourself or your business to other people. When you realize this life is a gift and you’ve been blessed in the circumstances you’ve been given, you’ll want to do a whole lot more with what you got!

Challenges for this week

👊 Take time and make a list of 10 things you’re thankful for.

👊 Get on the phone and let 3 people know you’re grateful to have them in your life.

👊 Spread the vibes. Make a post on social media highlighting something you take for granted. Positivity breeds positivity.

The Dirty Napkin 003 - The Power of Gratitude

If you're a leader, everything that happens under your leadership is your fault. I know it sounds scary, but there's an up-side. When you can accept and embrace that fact, you quit playing the blame-game, and you shift into a winning mindset.
Evaluate Yourself
👊 What's an on-going "drama" in YOUR life?
👊 What can YOU do to help?
👊 How are YOU taking ownership this week?

The Dirty Napkin 004 - Owning Ownership

When you don't celebrate the little wins, it's easy to get stuck in a rut. Yes, everyone celebrates when you win an award or move to a new building, but what about the little victories that make those moments possible? The truth is, you need to observe every obstacle you climb regardless if its a mountain or a mole-hill.

QUESTIONS
👊 Have you done a good job of recognizing the "small wins?"
👊 What's something you can celebrate this week?
👊 How are you going to acknowledge your next come-up?
