If you know me, you know I’m not usually one for bragging.
But I crossed the $100 million in sales (in my career, not in a year) in late September — and I allowed the spirit of pride to rise up in me…
And I started plotting a way to casually mention it to… everyone.
The timing couldn’t have been much worse, though.
Because at that exact same time, all the folks who’d earned a plaque at the Funnel Hacking Live event started posting their pictures.
I figured my plaque-lacking self would look goofy bragging about my achievement from my office chair…
While so many other people celebrated on stage at one of the year’s biggest marketing conferences.
(This is why you gotta stay humble!)
Is there a point to this story? YES. Two actually.
1. Celebrate your wins, big and small. Don’t wait 2 months to do it like I did. And don’t wait until you get props from Russell Brunson or anyone else — no shade to the Two Comma Club.
2. Whenever you’re feeling down or thinking about giving up… remember those wins.
Think about how far you’ve come. It’s amazing, right?
Truth is, you’re not like most people.
You took a chance (or you’re about to take it) and bet on yourself. You’ve mustered up the courage to go after your dreams and build something that can impact your corner of the world.
That’s not easy. Your courage and contribution deserves to be celebrated.
The celebration starts with you.
No copywriting lesson today (unless your takeaway is that bragging about your wins is good for credibility).
Just encouragement to make sure you’re adequately celebrating you.
