Measure Your Growth
Seems the right things come at the right time. I went in to check what was happening in my Facebook group ABC’s to grow your marketing radius and saw the following that I am sure will hit home for a lot of you. It stood out for me because a leader of a group I am in felt she wasn’t/isn’t doing enough. She also felt she wasn’t good enough to do what she was doing. I kept telling her….Yes you are. I saw this and fired it off to her in an email. I thought…hummmm……I’m sure there are lots that feel/felt the same…..so I am sharing these wise words that were posted to the group as a discussion. Join in….. tell us your thoughts.
Measure Your Growth
Do you excel at most everything you do yet beat yourself up because you didn’t do more?
Are you striving for greatness every day and yet if everything isn’t turning out just so, you feel like a failure?
Remember, great people tend to be hard on themselves because they are up to something truly big. Whether you are committed to being the best parent, an entrepreneur or to change the world at a global level, the first step towards success is to know your power and greatness.
Just because you haven’t gotten ‘there’ yet doesn’t mean you haven’t achieved a high level of growth. It’s hard to see how far you’ve come without some sort of measurement. Looking forward at all you have to do is wonderful when it comes to staying in the vision, however if you want to see how far you’ve come, look back for a moment.
Don’t stay in the past of course, but for about 5 minutes once per week, take a peak at where you were a week ago, a month ago and then a year ago. Has there been a change? Did you start a new business, create a new program, do something more than you did before? If so, pat yourself on the back. You have grown my friend. Acknowledge your path. This is crucial in order to get to the next level. Honor all you have done and all that you evolved into during this time. THEN, stand on the shoulders of that phenomenal person (you) and move forward.
Affirmation: Today I appreciate where I have been and all I have done – this made me who I am today. I am proud of my accomplishments.

Great blog. I need to listen and stay true to those words of wisdom.
I think we all should have that on a plaque hung on our wall where we can read it everyday!!
Good post Sandi. A little bit everyday goes a long way! I know I am not the same person I was a month ago. I know I have learned much and handle decisions and situations whatever they may be with a much more positive outlook. That to me is invaluble. You can do it!!
Exactly. Well put David. I know I am not the same as I was a week ago. When we stop and measure our growth that when we do see the progress….and as you say….We can do it!!!
Sandi, Great words of wisdom and we must measure our growth in all aspects of our human realm. Keep the vision and goals going everyday never give up and write them down with dates of target too. Peace and Love Ann
Thanks Ann. Yes I totally agree on writing them down….I like the idea of writing down the dates too.
Sandi,
Got your email regarding this post. I see where it fits me to a tee.
Thank you for sharing this with me to remind me that I have achieve a lot in such a short period of time and that I will continue to grow as a leader.
Everyone has to start someone. I am sure you have heard of Jim Rohn and his story on how he first started out. He had no clue either when he first started. Now, he leaves behind a legacy.
I now know to be proud of your accomplishments for it will propel you to success. Do a little each day and soon the work will manifest into something wonderful….A POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOU!
Thank you for sharing. We all need a little pick-me-up every now and then.
Your Friend and Mentor,
Tamra
Tamra you summed it very well with this ‘I now know to be proud of your accomplishments for it will propel you to success. Do a little each day and soon the work will manifest into something wonderful….A POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOU!’ Very happy to have you as my mentor and friend!!
Great advice Sandi. We are so quick to praise others, and so stingy with for ourselves. I like your 5 minutes in the past suggestion. That’s all it takes to see how far we have come, and to guess how much further we will go.
Carolyn when I first read ‘Measure Your Growth’ the ’5 minutes in the past’ really caught my eye also.
Great post Sandi. Your blog is very good. Easy to read and navigate. Thanks!
Walter
Thank you Walter.
You certainly deserve a round of applause for your post and more
specifically, your blog in general. Very high quality material.
Thank you for the wonderful complement Katherine.
Hello Sandi,
Thanks for sharing this post. This is very true. Sometimes we tend to forget all those little things we’ve made into our lives or business. We need to take some time as what you said at least 5 minutes or so in a week to look at those things and we deserve all the credits. Rinse and repeat
Thanks again Sandi.
Hey Sandi, great post! It all comes down to celebrating every small success. By doing so we can see the ground we cover in route to our ultimate goal
Great Blog Sandi. All the things that we as Online Marketers need to remember. Keep it coming
That is so true, Sandi.
People want to succeed, but they don’t want to take actions.
I teach my team too, if they want to see result sooner, they have to run faster.

We have our goals and we are on our way!
