The Wonder And Beauty Of Small Successes
(Winning In Life And Business One Step At A Time)
I do enjoy listening to, reading, or hearing about in one way or another the “small” successes people experience in their lives. Maybe that is one reason I’ve always enjoyed the experience of coaching others: you get to see them see them “win.”
Maybe not the “big” wins: just the wins.
- A child’s fifteenth try — and “win” — at conquering that two wheeler.
- A student teacher’s relating about a “win” in the classroom.
- The simple joy of someone sharing “I did it!” — no matter how small the “I did it” may have been in their life.
- A young pastor in the making sharing a successful first ministry effort while training at a church (yep, that’s my background showing, lol!)
The Importance Of The “Small Wins” In Life And Business
Nothing new, for sure. And I know you affirm the reality of this truth:
The small small successes in life make a difference.
In my way of thinking we need to:
- Acknowledge them.
- Celebrate them.
- And help others do the same.
And we need to do so in:
- Our own lives.
- The lives of our those we may be married to.
- Those we term dear friends.
- The lives of our children.
- The people we may be associated with in our work at home opportunity, our mastermind team or those we work with on a day to day basis.
- Etc.
Right about now I can almost — almost — hear your on saying on the inside…
“Oh, Good Grief, Lee: All Of Us Know That!”
Absolutely true. Absolutely true.
However…
But I am big fan, cheerleader, proponent of, and/or believe in the power of a timely reminder. And this is just that: a reminder. Therefore, just in case this may be for you one of those “right time reminders,” allow me to toss out a few questions in your direction:
- Should you happen to be facing any level of discouragement, do you need to take note of the small victories in your life at this time? Maybe record them in your journal, post several of them around for you to see during the day, or simply see them as something to be grateful for?
- If I were to ask you, what small steps to success in your business or life journey have you taken that could be of a benefit for others to know, could you list them? Should you list them?
- What small “victory step” could you begin tomorrow? Maybe begin the first post in a blog with a goal attached to it: like making one post a day for the next month? Or, making it “an encouragement day” for someone by encouraging them in one small, yet meaningful, manner? Or a “learn something new in only five or ten minutes” time tomorrow that could help?
- Is there one small step you have not taken that you know you need to take at this time and you have not done so?
Time To Visit Your Heart
You might expect that as a life coach with a pastoral training background, I might deliver your way inquiries such as these about now:
- In reviewing what we have talked about, do you hear your heart ’saying’ anything to at this time concerning what we have interacted about?
- Thinking about what we have reviewed, would you say that you are giving yourself enough credit at this stage in our life relative to your small successes, or is there some other obstacle (small or large) hindering your success right now that should be considered?
- Since you are a parent, let me ask you: are you celebrating in the small successes in the lives of your children — no matter what their age may be?
- Okay, I know you see the importance of small success steps and liked what you read, so what step would you be willing to design and take by this time next week?
Here’s To Your Small Steps Of Victory Next Week
I wish you the best in any of your small but significant to you steps you may be planning on taking this next week.
Should you feel like sharing them in a public way, leave a reply!

Lee, your post is right on. Yes, we all know this but we all need those friendly reminders. In building network marketing organizations it is key to remind our distributors and team mates to celebrate the small wins along the way.
I think this huge, towards building all our large wins. Every step counts.
My next small and maybe big win next week is to finish one of our online marketing funnels.
What fun!
Faith
Faith —
“Every step counts.” Yes, we do learn, grow and through continued practice advance (at least when we have the right information). Finishing one of your online marketing funnels — fabulous! I have a ton of work to do on mine yet
