We don’t take enough time to look back strategically. Too often, we only celebrate the big, shiny wins—like hitting six figures, moving house, or landing a dream client and miss out on acknowledging all the smaller progress that truly moves the needle.

In this Quick Tip episode, Lianne Kim shares why reflecting on the actions behind your wins is just as important as celebrating the wins themselves. By identifying what you did to make success happen, you’ll uncover the strategies that are already working and create a roadmap for repeating them in the year ahead.

This isn’t about luck or timing. It’s about recognizing the intentional steps you’ve taken and giving yourself credit for the progress you’ve made.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

• Why focusing only on big milestones can be misleading
• How to identify the smaller wins that matter most
• The importance of asking “What did I do to make that happen?”
• Why acknowledging your actions builds confidence and clarity
• A simple 10-minute journaling exercise to uncover what’s working
• How strategic reflection sets you up for smarter planning in the new year
