Milestones Build Momentum (and Confidence!) Here’s how ...

Mapping Milestones Gives You a Roadmap to Make Real Progress Towards Your Goals Hey Reader, June is here — and with it, graduation caps are flying, Father’s Day is approaching, and calendars are full of weddings, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations of all kinds. But what about your own milestones? In business and in life, we tend to downplay our progress unless it’s attached to a big, public moment. But the truth is, every major achievement is built from smaller, quieter wins — and those deserve celebration too. This month, we’re leaning into Milestone Mapping as a strategy to stay focused, build momentum, and feel proud of your progress (even before the finish line comes into view). When you’ve got a big goal ahead — like launching a new offer, filling your client roster, or building better work habits — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by how far you have to go. That’s where milestone mapping comes in. Here’s how it helps you stay productive without burning out: ✅ It turns vague ambitions into actionable steps So instead of feeling like you’re behind or barely making progress, you’ll be able to see just how far you’ve come — and how to keep going. Head on over to the blog to read this week's article: Why Milestones Matter (and How to Use Them as Stepping Stones to Make Real Progress as a WFH Entrepreneur) Prefer an audio experience of the content? If you're a Tenacious WFH Insider or VIP, your private podcast episode is available now.

Bonus points for planning a specific way to celebrate each one. You’ve got this. I’m cheering you on every step of the way.

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...
