Thought for the Day: Celebrate the Wins "The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." - Oprah Winfrey Today marks a significant milestone in a project at work. It’s taken us over a year to prepare for and multiple years before that leading up to this step. In practice, the change will be minor. There’s little risk and multiple contingency plans if something should go wrong. But the significance of the moment is huge. You could sense the heightened levels of energy the last week as the team ran through what was about to take place. We were all doing what we could to ensure that nothing was missed. The level of scrutiny from our leaders had reached hyperdrive. As we wrapped up our preparations and space opened up in our days. The meetings leading up to this milestone came off the calendars and were replaced with new meeting. Our time and focus quickly shifted to all the remaining work that is still to come (there’s a lot of it). In fact the majority of my thoughts this morning are not about the accomplishment in front of us, but about the next problem we need to solve. It’s on to the next thing because there’s always a next thing. There will always be another problem to solve or another milestone to strive for. Striving towards something has a ton of value and merit, but if we do that at the expense of celebrating the wins along the way we miss the point. Take time to celebrate when things are worth celebrating. Acknowledge the work that has been done before we move on to the next one.

Have you learned from a GREAT local family business in our region? Worked with or for one? Done business with them? If the answer is yes, consider nominating them for an award! There are company and people categories. Learn more here!

Lovely awards night with the Secret Linen Store team. Awards get a bad rep. I don’t love the whole awards industry if I’m honest, I do think some parts of it are wrong, but I do love the purpose of them. To recognise the brands and businesses who are going above and beyond every day. To bring together like minded business owners and teams. To share, to work, to inspire, to educate, to celebrate!! Awards are an opportunity to push your business further through authority and recognition, and sometimes show you areas you could push harder in. Celebrate every award nomination you get, and if you don’t get nominations celebrate anyway! Business is hard and no one knows it all or does it all right. So keep pushing every day, keep believing and leading the right people along the way with you. #businessawards #celebratetogether #businessmarketing #sussexbusiness

Sue Mitchell posts on X about the profit drop at Myer for last trading year...see below Shopped in a Myer store last month and its easy for an "old" ( read experienced) retailer to see the issues impacting performance. To rejuvinate the business,Maybe a simple return to the basics would be a good starting point for Myer leadership .( and take a top line revenue bias) Have floor staff who are knowledgable and are interested to assist/serve the customer. Follow on with having the right range at the right price. Display the products so its easy to shop And then make shopping the store an "experience". Shop atmosphere was more akin to a "Pop Up" shop. The physical store is not "dead"! Overall a good dose of "Front Line" leadership might be in order for the executive leaders> visit the shop floor and listen to your team. #Retail #Myer #Backtothebasics #FrontlineLeadership #Listentotheteam
