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. And that’s exactly why I want to invite you to redefine your milestones. Here’s the truth: Progress isn’t just about final results. It’s about all the quiet, courageous, and consistent steps you take in between. Things like: ✅ Sending the pitch These are what I call process milestones — and they deserve recognition, too. That’s where this month’s Mini Power Tool — the Milestone Mapping Method worksheet — really shines. Yes, it’s perfect for breaking down big goals into doable chunks. But it’s also a powerful tool for tracking those internal shifts and behind-the-scenes wins that actually keep you going. So if your motivation’s been lagging lately, it might not be because you’re failing … It might be because you’re forgetting to notice how far you’ve already come. This week on the blog, I’m sharing exactly how to reframe your idea of milestones so you actually feel your progress — and build real momentum. 👉 Click here to read the full article: How to Redefine Milestones So You Feel Motivated Your Action Step this WeekOpen your Milestone Mapping Method worksheet (or grab a notebook!) and jot down 3 process milestones you hit this last week — things that maybe felt small, but required effort, intention, or courage.

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.
