In the rush to hit sales goals and close deals, it’s easy to overlook just how far you’ve come.
But when you pause—just for a moment—you can see it.
Measure the gain rather than the gap. (Book by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy)
It takes: Growth. Grit. and Grace.
You’ve gained skills. Navigated tough conversations. Showed up when it wasn’t easy.
That deserves recognition!
Here’s how to bring more appreciation into your leadership and life
- Acknowledge progress. Think about a challenge you faced six months ago. Would you handle it differently today? That’s growth.
- Notice who’s with you. From your assistant to your broker to your clients to your family—your journey is built with others. Appreciation strengthens those connections.
- Make it a habit. Every Friday, write down three things you’re grateful for. About your week. Your team. And yourself.
Appreciation shifts energy.
It brings clarity.
And it reminds you that you’re not just working—you’re growing and you’re living life!
So take a breath. Look back.
And say thank you.
To them. To yourself.
You’ve come a long way.
Appreciate the results, the lessons, the people, the growth.
