What’s been your biggest smallest achievement?

I’ve been a startup founder for just over a year now and as my current journal is almost full I decided to read back over it before buying a new one. I didn't really have a goal in mind - just see what I'd written, what I'd learnt etc. One thing stood out to me from the 365-odd pages I've written and that's how many small wins I've had.

I expected life as a founder to be big notable steps and achieving audacious goals, but progress has largely been at the micro level. And it's all these small wins that have led to my success.

But I don't recall celebrating many of these wins. Sure, I celebrated when I hit 2k MRR but that was because it meant I could quit my day job.

I honestly believe that If I'd recognised the hundreds of other small wins, like my 1st customer, or my first returning customer, or fixing a bug, etc. I may have appreciated the journey to date a bit more.

So, today I want all indie hackers, founders, makers, etc. to celebrate their biggest small win. What is it? Let everyone know in the comments, and don't forget to take a moment to pat yourself on your back for achieving it.

Enjoy the journey!
