1855’s Post

What were your top 30 achievements in 2024? 🎖️ In past years, I might have stopped after naming just 3–5 accomplishments that came to mind. However, this year, I celebrated 37 achievements throughout the year! 🥂 It’s important to not only acknowledge major successes but also celebrate smaller wins, like reaching milestones, overcoming obstacles, or completing tasks I had procrastinated on. At the beginning of 2024, I started a simple but effective habit: every time I achieved something, I stuck a small post-it note to the wall above my desk. This little trick had a significant impact. Over the year, I watched the list of post-its grow, and by the end of 2024, I had 37 notes on my wall—offering me a comprehensive view of my accomplishments. Looking back now, 2024 feels far less rushed. Celebrating each post-it gave me time to appreciate my progress, and seeing everything on paper reinforced just how much I achieved. I also made it a point to include personal accomplishments alongside professional ones, celebrating them equally. 🚀 This is definitely a habit I plan to continue. I wonder—how many post-its will be on my wall by the end of 2025?

What Are You Celebrating This Year? As the year wraps up, it’s easy to focus on what’s next—new goals, new plans, new ambitions. But before we rush ahead, let’s take a moment to reflect on the wins. Big or small, every win matters. Did you land a deal that felt impossible? Did you mentor someone and see them thrive? Did you step out of your comfort zone and try something new? For me, one of my proudest moments this year was delivering a career path for our customer facing people. It reminded me that growth isn’t always about leaps—it’s often in the small, steady steps we take every day. Let’s celebrate progress—yours, mine, and ours. Go-Do: Take five minutes to write down three things you’re proud of this year. Share one in the comments if you’d like! 👉Question for You: What’s one win—big or small—that you’re celebrating as 2024 comes to a close?

Wrapping up the week—and the month—with a look back at November’s wins and lessons. As November comes to a close, it’s a perfect time to pause and appreciate the progress I’ve made this month, both big and small. Reflecting on the past few weeks reminds me that growth doesn’t just happen from big milestones; it’s the steady, consistent steps that make a difference over time. Here’s what I’m celebrating this week and this month: Staying consistent with my posting schedule, tracking nutrition, maintaining workout volume, and making steady progress on my projects. Balancing all these moving parts has been a win in itself. These small, consistent actions each day have kept me focused and grounded. Taking on a large new piece of work that involved travel and embedding it into my life Adapting to the demands of this new project, while integrating it into my routine, was a challenge. But it reminded me of the resilience that comes from staying adaptable and making the most of each opportunity. Celebrating small wins and reflecting on progress November showed me that even the smallest daily efforts add up. Looking back, I can see how far I’ve come, and it’s a reminder that each small step really does matter. As we head into December, I’m grateful for the wins, the lessons, and the momentum built over the past month. Here’s to a strong finish to the year!

It’s That Time of the Year… As the year winds down, many are busy evaluating their achievements, creating vision boards, and setting new milestones. And then there’s you, sitting there, thinking the year passed with nothing to show for it. Wait! Stop right there. Too often, we downplay our achievements or dwell on what didn’t go as planned. But here’s the truth: every step forward no matter how small is a victory worth celebrating. Did you try something new? Did you keep going despite the challenges? Did you grow in ways you never expected? Guess what? Those are all wins. And as for the moments you think you’ve failed? You didn’t. What you gained was experience, resilience, and a clearer path forward. Learn to celebrate your wins and not bury your head in shame when you think you’ve failed because you actually never did fail. What’s one win you’d like to celebrate today? Let’s hear it! 🌟

Behind every big win is something quieter, deeper, and often overlooked: gratitude.    As I sit back and reflect, this season always reminds me of what truly matters—not the deals closed or the metrics hit, but the connections made, the lives touched, and the lessons learned along the way.👍   I’ve spent years building, growing, and navigating businesses. I’ve had the privilege of working with giants, from MySpace to Google, helping shape the digital world we all now live in. But here’s the truth: none of it matters without people.   It’s not just about transactions; it’s about transformation. It’s not about impressions; it’s about impact.   I’m deeply grateful for the family who grounds me every single day. Rachel B. Lee, my partner in business and life, your unwavering belief in me fuels my purpose. Jayden, Skylar, and Ava, you remind me that success isn’t measured in likes or dollars but in the love and laughter we share at the dinner table. 💫   And to my network—mentors and clients who trust me with their brands—you’ve taught me that greatness is never a solo journey. Together, we’ve proven that digital spaces don’t have to be cold and mechanical. With heart and intention, they can be profoundly human. As I reflect on the past year, here’s the a-ha I keep coming back to:  The biggest wins don’t happen in the spotlight. They happen in the quiet moments—when you stay true to who you are, when you lean into your values, and when you create space for connection in a noisy world.   So, as we step forward—into another day, another opportunity—let’s remember this: gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s a practice. A habit. The quiet fuel behind everything worth building.   Thank you to my famiLEE, my clients, and every person who has crossed my path. You’ve made me better, braver, and more human.   How are you practicing gratitude this week? Drop your thoughts—I’d love to hear how it’s shaped your journey. 🔽
