This week we had two milestones that I’m excited about. - 800 subscribers on my Shorts channel - 1,000 total views on my long-form channel They’re two separate channels with two different strategies, but both are moving forward. And around here we celebrate every win, not just the massive ones. Because progress is progress. Why I’m Sharing This in a Weight Loss Community At first glance, this might look like a “YouTube win”. But the lesson behind it is actually exactly the same as weight loss. Neither of these milestones happened overnight. They came from showing up consistently, even when the numbers were small. Posting videos when only a few people watched. Posting again when growth felt slow. Posting again when it would’ve been easier to stop. Sound familiar? It’s the same pattern most people go through on a weight loss journey. The Truth About Progress Most people quit right before things start working. They step on the scale for a few weeks and don’t see big changes. They start eating better but the results feel slow. They start walking or working out but don’t feel dramatically different yet. So they assume: “Maybe this just isn’t working.” But progress almost always looks like this: Small step → small step → small step → momentum The same way these YouTube numbers grew. Not viral. Not explosive. Just consistent effort stacking over time. Brick by Brick Progress 800 subscribers didn’t come from one video. 1,000 views didn’t come from one post. It came from showing up again and again, improving a little each time. Weight loss works the exact same way. You don’t lose 50 pounds in a week. You: - make a better food choice - take a walk - drink more water - show up tomorrow - repeat the process And eventually those small choices turn into real transformation. Why We Celebrate Small Wins Here This community isn’t just about the final goal. It’s about the journey. Because if you learn to celebrate the small wins:

First off… I just want to say THANK YOU. 🙏 We officially crossed 60 members inside the community, and that’s something I’m really proud of. Every single person here chose to be part of this journey, and that means a lot. 💪 Shoutout to the OG Squad If you're one of the first 60 members, you're officially part of the OG squad. Being early in something takes belief. It takes trust. It takes a willingness to show up before something becomes “popular.” And because of that, you’re helping build the culture of this community. That’s pretty awesome. 📈 Why Celebrating Wins Matters I talk about this a lot, but I also believe in living by example. We should celebrate every win. Not just the massive ones. The scale dropping 20 lbs is a win…But so is: • Choosing a better meal • Getting a workout in• Drinking more water • Saying no to something that used to derail you Because small wins create momentum. Momentum builds confidence. Confidence leads to long-term success. And long-term success is what we’re really after. 🔥 Progress Over Perfection If we only celebrate the big milestones, we miss hundreds of moments that prove we’re moving forward. Progress is what changes your life. Not perfection. So today I'm celebrating this one: 60 members strong. Let’s go. And we're just getting started. 🚀 👇 Your Turn Drop a WIN from your week in the comments. Big win. Small win. Doesn’t matter. Let’s celebrate it. 🎉

Been a mad week hiking, paperwork, doctors appointment & a housing needs assessment & still pleased I got to the gym today even though im tired & had like 20 excuses I reminded myself of brannon's quote What’s the minimum effective action that’s still in alignment? Do that. Move on. No guilt. No second-guessing. No mental tax. That’s where you can actually relax into your decisions Did 90% my workout & left

One of the core ideas in Simple Weight Loss is that real progress happens through small wins stacked over time. Momentum doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from recognizing progress and building on it. So today I’m sharing a win with you. Not because everything is perfect, but because this is exactly what practicing small wins looks like. First win: After about three weeks of experimenting, I think we’ve finally found a smooth YouTube workflow. Today everything flowed — recording, editing, posting — all of it felt easy and repeatable. That’s a big milestone because consistency is what actually drives results. For the next 28 days, we’re running this exact play: 📺 YouTube long-form 🎬 YouTube Shorts 📱 Instagram Reels This is going to be our traffic engine for the community, and today was day one of the 30-day test. Now for the biggest win of the day 👇 📊 49 About Page Visits Today That’s more visitors today than the entire previous 30 days combined. The data goes back to February 13th, and today (March 13th) we beat the last month of traffic in a single day. That is a massive win. Now here’s the honest part… ❗ Zero signups today. But this is where mindset matters. It would be easy to focus on the conversion problem and ignore the progress — but that would be missing the point. Traffic was the first problem to solve, and today we proved we can generate it. Which means we’ve unlocked the next problem to solve: conversions. And that’s exciting. Because solving the next problem is how momentum builds. There were also a few other wins today: 🏆 Our SEO ranking inside Skool improved 📈 We're above the fold for multiple search terms 🔎 Page 1 rankings for: • Weight loss (Row 2!) • How to lose weight (Row 3) • Sustainable weight loss (Row 3) • Lose weight (Row 7) 📊 Our Self-Improvement category ranking improved and we’re now in the Top 500 communities. Every one of those counts as a win. And this post is me living by example. Yes, I run the group — but I’m also a member here, and I’m practicing the same habits we talk about: recognizing progress and stacking momentum.

I hit 2 new milestones on YouTube last night (late night live streams for the WIN 💥) - 900 total views on my long form channel - 800 subscribers on my short form channel 👀 (I got 10 new during my late night live stream)
