You did it! You reached your goal—woohoo! 🎉 Now what?
- Celebrate! Take a moment to enjoy the win. Share it with your team, friends, and family.
- Choose Your Next Goal. What’s next? Pick a new project or find out what your boss or customers need.
- Keep Going! Momentum is key. Don’t slow down—build on your success.
8 Ways to Keep the Momentum Going
✅ What Worked? What Didn’t? This step is a must. Every win and every mistake or failure teaches you something. Use this at the start, middle, and end of any project.
✅ Brainstorm! Don’t assume you know the best way forward. Listen to ideas and provide a safe environment so team members are comfortable speaking up. A theme or solution will pop up, even off-the-wall ideas have merit.
✅ Don’t Fear Risk! Take wild ideas and find five reasons they could work. You don’t have to use them, but they’ll spark new solutions.
✅ Think Like a Winner! Worried about the “what ifs”? Breathe. Start with your goal, set a deadline, and work backward. Break it into smaller steps.
✅ Review Your Plan. Run it by your coach, mentor, or someone outside the project. Then, share it with your team and boss. Aim for alignment—not consensus. Otherwise, you’ll stall.
✅ Get to Work! Make a system to track your progress. When you hit a wall (and you will), talk it out! Use “What Worked? What Didn’t?” to find missing pieces.
✅ Make It Happen! Just planning isn’t enough. Execution takes effort. Have key conversations along the way to stay on track.
✅ Celebrate Again! Another win? YES! 🎉 Don’t forget:
- Thank your team.
- Update your brags.
- Do another “What Worked? What Didn’t?” to wrap things up.
