The definition of achievement will vary depending on who you ask, but to me, it's the result of tiny, almost imperceptible wins accumulated through consistency and being present. Maintaining employment is the bare minimum required to participate and survive in modern society, however I don't think we should let that detract from the achievement it is and what it ultimately represents; the consistent, concerted result of showing up every damn day and doing your best, whatever it looks like that day. Some people will scoff at this definition and laugh it off as an overly optimistic attempt to present myself an attendance award, itself a shorthand for skepticism pointed towards anyone perceived as putting in less than the maximum effort at all times. To that I would argue anything of value is defined by the processes that build the framework for it to exist, and the most essential holistic ingredient of any process is SHOWING UP. Some people will always talk down your victories and smother your ability to be proud of yourself, don't let them. I'm proud of even my tiniest victories, including this one.

There’s something about people who are fuelled by an inner fire. Being told offhand, “You can’t” is one source of that fire. My people teach their girls to marry well and be promoted to matriarch. I lit and kept fuelling my inner fire to be self-sufficient. Almost 25 years in, my big learning is: Bank. The. Fire. Mistaking the fuel and fire for identity is an easy but costly one. Being stuck to that fire starts to be self-defeating, if not plain limiting. We cross the threshold and then we let go of the forging fire that got us there, to move forward in relative peace. Maybe even find new fires. We have to constantly renew our operating systems of courage.

One week left! Deadline: March 8, 2024. It’s easy to apply.

Winning an Award: It's More Than Just the Trophy! Did you know that winning an award opens doors far beyond the accolade itself? it's not just about the moment of victory; there's a whole world of extras that come with it, often overlooked but incredibly valuable. Take, for example, the opportunity to be featured in prestigious publications – a benefit that's worth its weight in gold. Normally, securing a spot in a leading magazine can be costly, but winning an award can land you that coveted space for free.  And it's not just any advertisement; it's a feature that celebrates your achievement, adding an extra layer of credibility and recognition. So, the next time you're considering entering an award, remember it's not just about the win – it's about the journey and the doors it opens.

The internal reflection, review and marketing and more that Business Awards can bring to your your business all add to the value of your precious asset.
