Don’t Start Q3 Without Doing This First

Take 10 Minutes to Celebrate the Progress You Might Be Missing Hey Reader, It’s the end of June. The end of Q2. And, yep — somehow the year is already halfway over. Whether the last few months were a blur or a bit of a slog, now is the perfect time to pause and take a breath. Because if you’re anything like most WFH entrepreneurs I know, you’re probably doing a lot more than you’re giving yourself credit for. And when you’re juggling it all — running the business, building the brand, doing the client work, and remembering to water your tomatoes — it’s easy to move from one task to the next without stopping to recognize how far you’ve come. So let’s change that today. Reflection isn’t just a feel-good activity. It’s a momentum-builder. It helps you reinforce what’s working, adjust what’s not, and make smarter decisions about what’s next. In this week’s blog, I walk you through a simple 5-step monthly review process that helps you reflect, reset, and move forward with clarity. (It’s what I’m doing this week, too — and it only takes about 10 minutes.) ➡️ Read the full article for all the details here: How to Review Your Milestones to Build More Momentum In it, I’ll show you how to:

And during summer — when people are vacationing, kids are home, and routines shift — it’s easy to fall into solo mode without even realizing it. That’s where this "trick" I discovered with milestones comes in ... Yes, we usually think of milestones as personal progress markers. But here’s a reframe: Milestones can be powerful prompts for connection, too. This week’s blog...
Celebrate More. Hustle Less Hey Reader, Ever seen a toddler take their first step? The room erupts. Clapping, cheering, maybe even tears. One tiny step … and we instinctively know it’s a big deal. But somewhere between baby steps and business plans, we stop celebrating progress like that. We wait for big milestones — the revenue leap, the launch, the polished result — and skip right past the smaller wins that actually get us there. This week, I want to challenge that. Because when you’re...
Redefine What Counts as a Milestone and Reinforce Your Momentum and Motivation Hey friend — This week, we’re flipping the script on what counts as a milestone. Because if you're only tracking the big, obvious moments — the product launches, the revenue wins, the dream clients — you might be missing out on the most motivating kind of progress.
