What are YOUR Wins for the Week?
Productivity, Publicity — By Marc HartyIt’s so easy to get caught up with the micro that we forget the macro. In this case, did our work payoff? What results did we get? Can we track those results and connect the dots to the bottom line?
One way to answer those questions is to step back , gain perspective and then take a look and ask yourself one more question…
What were my “wins” for the week?
Now let’s define what I mean by a “win.” Here are a few examples:
- Successful completion of a project
- New client
- Launch a new product/service/website
- New speaking engagement
- Enthusiastic feedback on a presentation you gave recently
- Reaching your revenue targets
- Exceeding your revenue targets
- Blowing the doors off your revenue targets
- Getting a story published
- Media exposure: print, broadcast, online
The list above is by no means a complete one. Just enough to let you see where I’m going with this.
Do you know what all the above have in common? They’re specific. They’re outcome-driven.
So often we are in the middle of something that we forget to celebrate when we actually achieved something of distinction.
It’s important to take time to honor your successes. Because that’s the motivation that will keep all cylinders firing towards your next success.
So as a way of getting us started here are my wins for the week, publicity-wise:
- Radio Interview with 938LIVE: (largest English speaking news/talk radio station in Singapore
- PRWeb Webinar: “The Inside Scoop: PR and Marketing Strategy” This is great visibility and positions me as an Online PR expert. The announcement of this webinar went out to a mailing list of over 750,000 with an expected registrations of 6,000+!
Now it’s your turn. Do share. Because your successes will help inspire others. What are your wins for the week, publicity or otherwise?
Please share your successes with me in the comments below.

These days I'm focusing less on one time promotions and working with a few clients and partners on building out better residual income business.
I still speak at industry events.. BlogWorld, WebMasterWorld (pubcon) and CES since we last spoke. Radio show on http://BlogTaalkRadio.com/warren doing well.
Talk to you soon

Hey Marc … you are so right … at first I thought Jan was a bust but then I looked back and as you said there were successes: 2 articles in a regional business publication with my byline the first magazine articles i have written in about 10 years; finalizing our first-ever corporate speaking engagement for Feb that should lead to even more appearances; scheduling two Dallas book signings for Feb and creating a new website that will go live in Feb. Guess i was accomplishing more than I thought. Thanks for all the great PR tips and hope to see you on the trail sometime soon, maybe even with our friend Leann. To your (our) continued success, Liz Lawless, The Creative Cowgirl
