One really effective way to stay motivated and propel yourself to new levels of success is through the keeping of a success journal or victory log. This tactic gives you a sort of “hard copy” proof that you are worth believing in and that you are capable of all you desire.

You can use any kind of notepad or ringed binder for this. I recommend going offline and using an actual paper notebook for this as it gives you a more tangible list when you refer back to it later.

Here’s how it works:

Just start writing up a list of all the things you have accomplished up to this point in your business and personal life. Leave nothing out; come up with as many things as you can.

If you got a raise or started your own business, list this. If you negotiated a better rate on auto insurance, list this.

Think of all your victories. You learned to walk and graduated high school for instance. And you got “Yes” from the man/woman you are now married to. Don’t devalue any of the great thigns you have done in your life.

Try to get 100 things on your initial list and then make a habit of writing down new things a few times every week. If you make new sales on a new product launch write it down. If you get subscribers to a new list write this down. Write down positive blog comments and customer feedback as well. List anything and everything that happens toward your life goals.

Over time this journal will get pretty fat. And whenever you start to feel bummed out for lack of progress you need only open it up and get a load of all the amazing things you have done in your life!

This kind of proof, along with a positive receiver’s attitude can have a dramatic impact on the direction of your business and your life.
