This is such a good question. I think as business owners we spend so much time measuring progress that we forget to measure how we are doing personally.
For me, checking in means asking myself whether I am still enjoying the process and whether what I am doing today is actually moving me toward the reason I started. Sometimes progress is not just revenue or another completed task. It is realizing how much you have learned and how much further along you are than you were a few months ago.
This is so true. Often, we are so focused on what needs to be done and what is next we forget to celebrate what we have already accomplished. Remembering to enjoy the journey is so important. I was listening to a podcast the other day. They were talking about how we have the power to decide what each of our days look like and how we view it. Sometimes in our journey of entrepreneurship we get catch up in doing and forget to remember we chose this path and are able to pursue it. So important, especially since we may have to be our own cheerleaders.
