Welcome to Spark an Idea Thursday. Each week we’ll be sharing some great ideas for a topic of interest to our readers. We invite you to grab our image and carry the tradition through to your own blog! If you do, please link back to this post so we know where you were inspired!
When you’re a work at home parent, you can often miss out on the recognition of a job well done. There aren’t any company newsletters touting your accomplishments and there aren’t any high five hand slaps when you announce landing a new client.
But that doesn’t mean you should keep your accomplishments to yourself. In fact, sharing your good news with family and friends can be motivating. Receiving that positive reinforcement will keep you plugging along so you can reach your next goal. Even those who are hearing about your successes will be motivated to take that first step or to continue their path because they have seen YOU become successful.
Finding people to support you in your business is vitally important, whether it be an offline group of friends or an online mastermind group. Heck, even tooting your own horn on Twitter will likely get you some positive feedback.
There’s nothing I love more than to visit the Mom Mastermind forums and find threads about the successes other members have found. After being a member for over two years I consider these women my friends but I can also learn something new or just marvel at how clever they can be.
Finding a life or a business coach who offers one-on-one coaching can also fulfill that need to be validated and they can give you action steps to keep you motivated. My life coach is my biggest cheerleader who can also “tell it like it is” to get me off the couch and back to working.
At the very least, come here and leave a comment about what you’ve accomplished this week. You don’t have to wait for something monumental to happen before you toot your horn. Take pride in the small things you accomplish because they will put you on the road to accomplishing bigger things
