It's important to take the time to acknowledge your wins, the small milestones along the way to your bigger goals and dreams. You don't have to get everything right in order to be success. You have to be willing to celebrate the smaller wins because that helps to prime your mind for success and helps to push you along for the bigger wins.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
