“Celebrate the wins.” -Andy Hulsey
“Mark every milestone.” -Lorenzo (Lawrence) Perez
This past week was a good week.
We cleared a significant hurdle on an important project by delivering gas service to a mission critical facility.
Seeing the pressure gauge rise, seeing that task completed—nothing beats that moment of accomplishment on a construction job, especially when it’s been hard fought day in and day out like most things are on a jobsite.
In that moment I was reminded of advice I’ve been given by two mentors in particular who have helped me grow as a project manager and a leader. Advice that matters so much when you’re in the trenches every day fighting.
That sometimes you gotta slow down, pick up your head, and just appreciate every incremental win. Because that’s how you attack every big problem and every big project. Bird by bird, task by task, milestone by milestone.
If you don’t appreciate those moments, you’ll burn out. If you don’t get energy from them, you’ll run on empty.
I’m so grateful to the people I’ve gotten to work with in this industry. And thanks to them I’ll always remember and always remind every team I’m apart of that it’s important to celebrate every win and mark every milestone.
Now, on to the next hurdle.
What milestone did you hit today, and how can you stop and celebrate?
