#56: Celebrate A Small Step (Friday, January 25)

Y'know that saying, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"? Well, you may not be making giant leaps for mankind, but you are where you are today because of a number of small steps along the way. Your road to financial success can start the small step of paying off one bill or saving $20 more per week. A lot of times we forget about the small steps along the way to our goals.

The Idea: Enjoy life by celebrating the small steps along the way to a major goal. Whether it's treating yourself to dinner, buying a small token for yourself, or just taking some time off, it's important to recognize even minor accomplishments.

The Cost: The cost of however you decide to celebrate.

The Benefit: You'll be able to see how far you've come, and it will motivate you to continue to take more small steps.

Testimonial: I'm celebrating the completion of two small steps this week. One is a 99.385% pass rate on my FDNY written test, and the other, I'm keeping quiet for now but I'm still celebrating it. ;)
