My coaching clients already know that this topic is something I constantly talk about. Aggregating your accomplishments is everything when it comes to knowing your worth. If you're not sure what I'm referring to, then it's likely you have some work to do, but I promise it will be worth it.

Basically, it's easy to forget our accomplishments. Even if we don't intend to. We do stuff, we get busy, we do more stuff, we pause for a minute when something major happens, and then we move on to the next thing. That's life, I get it, but I want you to stop. Yes, stop right now and answer this question:

What are the 12 most important things that you achieved in the last year?

If you already have a list, congratulations! My next question for you is, how often do you update it and how often do you review it?

If you aren't in the habit of tracking your accomplishments regularly, I'd like you to adopt a new habit, starting today. I'm serious about this, because I believe documenting your accomplishments is the single most important thing anyone can do for their career. So, with that in mind, do whatever it takes: start a document on your desktop, create a list on your phone, start journaling, build a brag book. Call it whatever you want and do whatever you need to do to remind yourself that you know your stuff.

When something great happens—big or small—write it down in a dedicated space that is just for your accomplishments. That way, it's easy to revisit when you need to. At the end of each week, look at it. At the end of each month, reflect on everything and pick the number one win that stands out. If you do that every month, you'll have a least 12 amazing things to reflect on one year from now.
