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.

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:

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.
