Success Stories: How Reflecting on the Past Can Shape Your Future
Reflecting on past achievements can be a powerful tool in shaping future success. One exercise I often recommend to clients is creating a list of their life successes, beginning in early childhood. Recently, one client shared this task with his girlfriend, who questioned its value, finding it unhelpful at first.
I explained that this exercise serves two crucial purposes. Firstly, it boosts self-esteem. Many people don’t realize the extent of their accomplishments until they document them. Often, they feel surprised or modest when sharing these successes. This confidence boost alone is valuable, but the second reason holds even greater significance: success leaves clues.
When a client feels stuck in their business, we examine their major achievements looking for patterns. Understanding the methods, emotions, and strategies behind these successes can reveal a natural success style. Some people thrive by setting goals and planning meticulously, others succeed by jumping in and adapting as they go, while some follow what feels exciting or effortless. One client, for instance, set progressively higher goals, eventually achieving four world championships.
If you’re struggling with a task in your business, take a pause and list all your life successes. Begin from birth?"yes, even being born is its own triumph?" and continue through your life. Include achievements like starring in a school play, completing a challenging project, or earning a degree. Don’t restrict yourself to work or educational accomplishments; include any personal milestones that brought you joy.
Once your list is complete, select two or three major successes and analyze them. Consider the steps you took, your feelings, any fears faced, and whether you planned extensively or dove in headfirst. Reflect on whether you had support or worked independently. Identify the factors that contributed to your success.
Look for patterns. Personally struggling to strengthen my business, I found that my major successes occurred in structured environments rich with creative activities. Realizing that I needed more structure, I arranged weekly check-ins with a friend to discuss goals, offering an effective accountability system. This approach has significantly improved my business outcomes.
Mapping past successes can be transformative. By understanding your unique patterns and strategies, you can apply them to current challenges, paving the way for future achievements. Give it a try and see the impact it can have on your journey to success.
