Ulrike Schulz’s Post

Have you lately celebrated how far you have come? I can see you already shaking your head. Because I do it too. I am always thinking about what’s next. What more can I do? What else can I improve? And then I talk to someone else. And they say: This is amazing. And I realise… I haven’t really taken a moment to acknowledge any of it. I don’t celebrate the milestones enough. I take things for granted. I move the goalpost before I even arrive. But here is one I am allowing myself to pause for: At FoundHers Network, we reached 50 members in 50 days. And yes, that is worth celebrating. Not just because of the number. But because of what it represents. Showing up every single day. Talking about what we are building. Creating something that actually feels different. Working hard to ensure the experience inside is just as strong as the branding outside. This didn’t happen by accident. It happened because we are intentional. Because we are consistent. Because we care. We are so focused on growth that we forget to acknowledge progress. So this is me doing it differently today. Taking a moment. Looking back. And saying it out loud: I am proud of this. We need to stop taking our own work for granted. What is something you achieved recently that you haven’t given yourself enough credit for?
