EPISODE 52

Why post-it notes are the key to my success

Listen on iTunes   

This is a very special episode - it marks a whole year of podcasting. And so, it is the perfect episode to share with you how I celebrate success, and how post-it notes are key to this!

As business owners and entrepreneurs we are so busy constantly striving for our goals, we forget that we need to give ourselves permission to stop and celebrate.

In this episode, I share the ritual that reminds me to stop and smell the roses when I achieve one of my goals. Every year I buy at least six bottles of champagne, stick my goals written on post-it notes onto each bottle, store them in the fridge and pop one whenever I reach that goal! It means that every time I open the fridge, I am reminded of my goals.

My champagne of choice is Veuve Clicquot, and I share with you the history of this brand and why it gives me all the feels!

This is an exciting time to start planning for 2023. I share the four things I’ll do in November to set me up for success in 2023.

My challenge to you is - how will you celebrate your successes? How will your goals and dreams be at the forefront of your mind, so that you make them a reality?
