We love celebrating our wins, big or small. It's always a special moment when we achieve something great, and we cherish those times together. Small wins are just as important to us too; they keep us motivated and moving forward. Celebrating our successes is one of the things that make us who we are.
Traveling, a fancy dinner, or popping the champagne! Five of our wonderful members shared how they celebrate their achievements. Here's what they had to say:

My husband and I are foodies so celebrating a big win usually involves an extra special night out at one of our favorite St Pete restaurants, like Il Ritorno or Sauvignon. And I usually plan a couple day trips a year over to Disney to celebrate a big quarter since I'm Passholder!

“It's not especially exciting, creative, or outside-the-box by any means, but I celebrate my wins with champagne, of course! It doesn't matter if it's a huge win or a just-got-through-the-day-without-breaking-down win. A win is a win, right?
That being said, when I have a win that is directly tied to an increase in income, I will also celebrate by increasing my savings toward my goals. As a financial planner, you know that this is exciting for me!”

“I celebrate my wins with a bottle of champagne. My husband and I will toast to whatever we're celebrating, whether it's a record-breaking sale, an amazing week of client wins, hitting monthly goals, or more.
Sometimes, I get too stuck in running my business mode that I overlook reasons to celebrate. That's where my husband steps in and calls out my wins. It's great to have a cheerleader by my side that sees how hard I work and reminds me to continue celebrating.”

“For small wins, I "brag" a bit to my family. Let them know that a client said "good job". Most times, it just feels good to finally be doing job where I feel appreciated and that is a win in itself.
For bigger wins, like when I landed my first 40/hr a month client, or officially got my DBA, it was date night! Dress up out of my leggings, drive into Boston and splurge (just a bit) on a good meal and an overpriced but pretty cocktail.”

“I take myself or my boyfriend and I out to eat to a vegan restaurant, brag about my wins to my friends, pamper myself, or simply just ask my body what it needs - sometimes it's as simple as going to a park and reading a book or just simply napping with beautiful music on.”
