Description

Do you really stop and celebrate your growth in your big milestones in your consulting or coaching business journey?

I know I sure don't.

A few weeks ago, I received an award from Kajabi, the platform on which my website is built. They recognized me for earning a million dollars. I'm a "$1 million Superhero," and when I got this award, I felt really weird about it.

I wasn't sure what to make of it, because it's like, wow, I made a million dollars from this B2C business that I've been working on for the last few years, and at first, I didn't want to celebrate it. Why? Because I'm embarrassed.

It took me so much longer to achieve this milestone than it did when I started my consulting business.

 I got this award right before I went on vacation. It coincided with my 15th anniversary in business, and then I did a podcast with Karen Laus on confidence in pricing and confidence in general.

So, I went on vacation and had lots of time to think about why I want to hide something so meaningful.

 In this episode, you'll hear:

• The real story behind my $1 million milestone.
• How I found the courage to leave Disney, rebuild after divorce, and pivot my business completely.
• The mindset shifts that helped me move from embarrassment to celebration.
• Why sharing your success isn't bragging, it's essential.
• A simple reframe to help you own your wins with integrity and inspire others to do the same.

Next Steps

• Celebrate with me: Take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come. Share your own milestone or small win publicly, or with a trusted peer, and let others witness your success. Drop it in the comments of the post for this episode! I want to hear about it.

• Practice “sober celebration”: Reflect on your achievements with integrity... not exaggerating, not minimizing, simply acknowledging what’s true.

• Inspire courage: Use your transparency to encourage others. When you share what’s possible, you expand what others believe is possible for them.

• Reframe success: Remember, sharing your wins isn’t bragging. It’s important. It gives evidence of what’s possible when you lead with courage, purpose, and persistence.

• Join the conversation: Post your milestone on LinkedIn or your platform of choice and tag me. Let’s start normalizing the celebration of integrity-driven success.
