Greetings from Punta Cana, where my wife and I have been celebrating my birthday! We actually WON this trip as a result of our work with a major fitness and wellness company; it’s called a Success trip, and it’s a reward for our dedication and hard work over the past months. 

Here are a few photos from Mexico; hopefully they won’t make you too jealous! 

It’s so important to take time to celebrate your successes. I know that if you’ve been reading these newsletters, you’re serious about becoming the BEST man that you can be, about growing in integrity and wisdom, and about leaving a legacy for your family (or future family). 

So how are you celebrating this hard work you’re doing? Are you scheduling a date night with your spouse, where both of you are free to relax and unwind? Or planning a golf outing with your buddies? Or maybe you’re booking tickets for a personal development event that’s going to help you grow and improve even more? 

We’re all different, so I can’t tell you what the BEST way for you to celebrate your success is. But I do know that you’ve got to set aside time (even a little bit) to honor the hard work you’re doing. 

It wasn’t necessarily “convenient” for CJ and me to pick up and fly to Mexico, but the time away from home has been a great re-set for us. We’re coming back refreshed and ready to get back to work. Celebrating our success actually makes us MORE successful! 

If you haven’t been setting aside time regularly to appreciate the progress you’ve made, think about a few activities that you can do this month to tell yourself “thanks” for all the hard work you’ve been doing.
