Cascade

I love this founder I know.

Every time they get a Stripe notification, they drop and do ten push-ups. Revenue celebration meets fitness routine. Two wins for the price of one.

Knowing them and how their business is growing? They're going to be absolutely jacked by the end of summer.

And yet. Most people think success happens in big moments. The funding round. The viral launch. The acquisition offer.

But here's what I've learned watching founders who actually make it. Success cascades from the smallest habits.

The founder who celebrates every sale, no matter how small. The one who sends a thank you note after every customer call. The one who ships something new every single Friday.

These tiny rituals create momentum. They turn work into reward. They make the grind feel like progress.

Ask any successful entrepreneur about their daily habits. They'll tell you about the small things they do consistently. The morning routine that sets their mindset. The end-of-day ritual that helps them process what they learned.

It's never about the individual push-up. It's about what happens when you link your wins to your growth. When success in one area feeds success in another.

Small actions, repeated consistently, create compound effects that shock everyone. Including yourself.

Here's to those who find ways to celebrate the small wins. Smart enough to know that every Stripe notification is worth ten push-ups and a moment of gratitude.

Stack your wins!
