Get Your Happy File Ready for an Awesome Year

Have you got your happy file ready?
Do you have a happy file?
Do you even know what a happy file is?

OK – Let’s start at the beginning. A happy file is a place where you store all the nice emails, cards, things that others have said about you. They are the comments or moments that made you feel good about what you do, who you are and the person you are growing up to be. It could be from a family member, friend, client, competitor, stranger, whoever – just something that makes you go “YEEESSSSS!!!” on the inside.

Maybe they said, “Wow you have done an amazing job with your kids. They are such a joy to be around” or “You are amazing at what you do, without your efforts we could never have received the acclaim we have” or “You always know the right thing to say. Thank you”. You know the times they say it, write it, post it – make sure you capture it and put it in a file somewhere.

A happy file is important because it is a brilliant place to turn to when you have doubt.

I don’t care who you are. There are times you will have doubt.

“Am I doing the right thing, will this work, am I any good at this, am I barking up the wrong tree” – It happens to EVERYONE.

When it does happen, open up your Happy File and have a look at what others have said about you in the past (because sometimes you simply cannot trust your own perspective). It helps boost you in a time when you need it.

With a powerful Happy File in your corner, it will make the coming year a whole lot easier and more successful for you.
