The Importance of Enjoying Small Victories

The Importance of Enjoying Small Victories

When I started, I was nicknamed the Powerful Promoter. I didn’t do anything in the internet marketing world. I was doing wealth building. It wasn’t until 2001 that I started my first list. That was a pivotal moment for me. I started my list because I had things to sell and also because I wanted a platform where I could be a reporter. Maybe that sounds strange to you so let me explain.

I started a newsletter called Millionaire Minutes. I never said I was a millionaire because I wasn’t at that point. It was my way of making friends and learning from the greatest minds in the internet marketing world. I leveraged my newsletter to get closer to the people I wanted to learn from.

The great thing about this newsletter is that I was able to bring value to not only my list, who subscribed to my newsletter but also to the people I was interviewing. I had something the millionaires desired. I had a list of people that wanted to buy their products.

Now I tell you this story because I want you to understand how valuable your list is. Also, I wanted to share my experiences with you so you would understand where I came from. I didn’t start with a million dollars. Most people don’t. I started out with an idea and the desire to make a million dollars. The first thing I did was learn from the people who had gone before me. What is your dream? Is your goal to make a million dollars? Who can you learn from to get you where you want to be in life?

When I started out on my quest to earn a million dollars, I would come home every day defeated. I would think, I didn’t make a million dollars, therefore I’m a loser. I’m a failure. A big moment for me was when I realized that I had to make my first dollar before I could make a million. From there, I had to make my first hundred dollars and then my first thousand dollars. I knew if I continued to only look at the bigger picture, I would stay defeated. I have to start cheering myself on and keeping a positive attitude. I had to celebrate the little victories along the way to stay motivated.

I remember when I made my first hundred thousand. It was a huge success for me. As soon as I made that, I knew I just had to do what I did ten more times to make a million bucks. Within six months, I made my first million dollars online, from the time I made my first hundred thousand. It was such a great feeling. Without breaking my goal down into smaller steps, I may have never gotten there.

So be realistic in your goals you set for the upcoming year. Big picture, you may want to make a million dollars but small steps do you need to take to get there? Start at the beginning and celebrate every victory you have on your journey to your goal. Set your goals so you can have those victories to keep yourself encouraged. Then take massive action and make it happen.
