Personal Celebration

Celebration can help you personally, too. As you achieve different milestones, you can have little celebrations for yourself and even for your family and friends, who support your startup journey.

Tom Nardone is the president of PriveCo, a company based in Troy, Michigan, that helps keep your purchases private. When a sale is made, Nardone sometimes shares this with his eight-year-old son. “He likes to hear about the business and he smiles when it goes well,” explains Nardone.

Detroit-based Savorfull founder Stacy Goldberg celebrates by traveling. “I take myself out of my office setting and work from a beautiful location to both reward myself and foster creativity!” she says.

I give myself breaks, too. Whether it be a walk outside or a chance to catch up on movies I haven't seen, I celebrate little daily milestones. The larger personal milestones are celebrated with special dinners or travel. After our first year running Tech Cocktail full-time, Jen and I celebrated our survival and licked our wounds by taking a two-week workation in Kauai. We would get up early every day to watch the sunrise, eat breakfast, and then work until about noon or a little afterward. After 5 or 6 hours of work, we would hit the road for some Kauai adventures, including hiking and exploring beaches. It was a celebration that was good for our mental and physical health and well-being. We came back to take on the new year with just as much vigor and intensity as the year before.
