154. What $1M in Revenue Actually Means to Me

Описание: After closing my books for 2025, I realized I’ve officially crossed $1,010,850 in all-time revenue. And while yes, I’m proud of the number, what matters more is what it represents and what I’m really celebrating. It means I’ve spent twenty years creating value, serving entrepreneurs, and helping small businesses grow.



In this episode of Doing Business Like a Woman, I’m talking about why celebration can feel so uncomfortable for women entrepreneurs, how skipping it quietly drains our confidence and momentum, and why stopping to acknowledge your wins is one of the most powerful marketing and mindset practices you can have.



If celebration feels awkward, uncomfortable, or unnecessary, this episode is for you!
