Monday Leadership Motivation #5 | The Value and Power of Milestones
Leaders often focus so much on the destination that they forget the power of the milestones along the way. Milestones matter because they remind us that progress is happening, even when the finish line feels far. They mark growth. They give language to momentum. They help us pause long enough to reflect before we move forward again. For me, one milestone stands out deeply. In 2024, after 8 years of dreaming, learning, stretching, failing forward, and staying the course, I achieved a long-term goal of becoming a Certified Leadership Coach, Speaker, and Trainer with the John Maxwell Leadership team. This wasn’t an overnight win. It was years of showing up when no one was watching. Years of investing before results were visible. Years of trusting the process when the goal felt far away. That milestone didn’t make me “arrive.” But it reminded me that consistency compounds, and faithfulness over time produces fruit. I have understood that milestones are not about ego. They are about gratitude. They are about recognizing God’s faithfulness, the people who supported you, and the discipline it took to keep going. Strong leaders press forward. Wise leaders pause to remember how far they’ve come. So today, take a moment to look back before you rush ahead. You may not be where you want to be yet, but you are not where you started. 👇 CTA for the Community What is one milestone you’ve reached recently, big or small?
