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 building something meaningful — especially from a home office with no cheering squad — you need those mini-milestones. They’re what keep you going. Here’s what counts as a win this week:

I’m diving into this idea on the blog: (It’s also a great reminder heading into Father’s Day — progress matters more than perfection.) Your Action Step this WeekPick one win from this past week — big or small — and write it down in your Milestone Mapping Method worksheet, or in your planner, or even on a blank notebook page. Then celebrate it on purpose. Say it out loud. Text it to a biz bestie. Do a happy dance. (Yes, really.) ✨ Insiders + VIPs: Not upgraded yet? Explore your premium options here.

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...
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...
