Finding Little Victories

Sometimes when you are first starting a business, or when you business is having a little bit of a slow period, it can be really difficult to stay motivated and push through the challenges. I have gone through little periods like this in my business and I am sure I will experience slow periods in the future as well. However, one thing I have learned is that if I focus on all of the negative things that are happening the slow period last way longer, and is much harder to get through. One thing I have recently started is a list of little victories. This has massively helped me stay motivated and in the right mindset to continue making progress in my business. Additionally, it has helped me to come up with some really amazing new ideas and techniques to try in my business. To give you a sneak peak into my own personal little victories here are a few on my list so far:

1) "Today I had three people reply to my reach out message. They all respectfully declined but I got a reply!"

2) "I have added 5 new emails to my email list!" *note: if you haven't already joined my email list please do.

3) "I was able to book a TFP shoot for this weekend, it might not pay but it will help me add to my portfolio."

Whenever I start to feel discouraged I look at this list and it always gives me motivation to keep going. What are some of your tricks you have used to stay motivated in your business?
