Episode 22 is the final installment in a series of seven episodes exploring practical steps you can take when you feel stuck or simply cannot seem to get started moving toward your dream.
In this episode we talk about the importance of celebrating the small incremental victories along the way to our ultimate goal. It is easy to get so focused on the long goal that we forget to reflect about where we have been.
I also briefly talk about preventing our celebration of small wins from becoming an attitude of complacency.
For review, the six steps are:
1.Overcome Limiting Beliefs
2.Set goals
3.Develop a plan
4.Build a coalition for support
5.Learn from failure
6.Celebrate the small wins

In doing some research for this episode, I found this article, “The Dark Side of Celebrating Small Wins” by Temiloluwa Adedeji on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dark-side-celebrating-small-wins-temiloluwa-adedeji/
I also mention Episode 6 – “Are we making progress – Thoughts on Veteran Suicide” in my discussion. I have committed to revisiting this topic and will likely do so in 2025 once the Veterans Administration publishes its 2024 Annual Suicide Prevention Report.
