Client: l don’t know what l want or what l want to talk about. Me: That’s okay, we can sit and work together with the unknown to bring it into the known. Client: l took some photos of me and l really like them. Me: That sounds like confidence. Client: Yes, l feel more confident. We never know what our clients will bring to their sessions. It’s not all about being alongside your client through their pain of the known and unknown. There are also moments of celebrating the wins that lay beyond that pain. This is why l do what l do 😊

While the world is changing before our eyes, we must leverage the Power of NOW. 4. Build a realistic strategic plan that helps us GROW where we’re planted. 5. Recognize your top MOTIVATORS and align your business actions to grow authentically. Day 1 was insightful ⚛️ Day 2 promises to be filled with possibilities ✨ More to come!

It's always a party at Door No. 3! Hat tip for celebrating 30 years in business. I'm grateful to be part of writing this current chapter. From a new business perspective, it's no small feat to grow an agency. For 30 years, no less. Striking the right balance of growth is a delicate dance. Providing excellent care for your existing clients while running ahead to cultivate new clients. Building a sticky culture where top talent wants to stay while creating demand to grow the bench. Marketing for others, while also marketing for yourself. Staying heads down in the work while staying up on constantly evolving trends. You get it. Holding all of these tensions is the daily work of growth. It's the daily inputs, those little disciplines that compound over time. Keep at it today!

How do you feel when someone asks you about your wins? If you’ve just launched a fabulous new product, smashed a sales goal or secured a dream speaking gig, it feels fantastic to share your news. Those moments are amazing and absolutely worth celebrating. But what about when you've been focused on quieter (but oh-so-crucial) tasks – like sending emails, delivering client work on time, prepping for a webinar or posting content? Would you shout about those? Or would you stay quiet and feel, well, maybe a bit inadequate, feeling you’ve nothing significant to share? But here’s the thing: it’s consistently delivering these everyday activities that actually builds our businesses. And maybe if we start celebrating these achievements as wins too, we’ll boost our confidence rather than feeling like we’re not doing enough. We might even find ourselves going a bit further, a bit faster. Until suddenly those massive ‘big’ wins that seemed out of reach are only few mini-steps away. Now I think that’s something to truly shout about! So, this week I’m going to celebrate my micro-wins – however tiny. Will you join me? I’d love to hear and celebrate yours too. 🙌

Let’s talk about celebrating your achievements. Too often, we move on to the next task without acknowledging our successes. Celebrate your achievements—big or small! This practice builds confidence and reinforces your worth. What’s one achievement you’re proud of this week? Share below!

Rarely the First, More Likely the 7th Typically, Winning Secrets appear on Monday's. Not this week. Why? Our oldest daughter had an outdoor wedding. I had the privilege of officiating the wedding; very cool. The weather cooperated, and the reception was a blast! But here's the Winning part.... During the ceremony, the couple shot a flaming arrow into a target prepped to burst into flames, igniting a bowl of lighter fluid atop the target stand. Epic!  But not at first. It took 7 attempts, along with a fresh dousing of lighter fluid. When the target burst into flames, it was spectacular. The audience erupted into applause. I was so proud of the young couple's determination to make the unity event a success. Here's what struck me from that experience.  Has any endeavor in your personal or professional life that was memorable, meaningful, or impactful succeeded on the very first attempt? Very rarely. And that's okay.  It SHOULD require diligence and determination to be successful. It makes the achievement of greater worth, and those pulling for you will celebrate even more knowing what you overcame. One more thing.... There are ALWAYS people rooting for you to succeed, no matter what it feels like in the moment. They want you to be successful, and they're eager to celebrate with you. Share your Wins, of all sizes, and watch who celebrates with you, whether it be 1 person or 100 people. That's Winning More at Life - the Winners and those who celebrate with them. Be both!! #WinningSecrets #WinningMoreAtLife #WinWin #Celebrate #Determination #Diligence #AdaptAndOvercome #JohnDHanson
