I'll go first! My biggest celebration milestone happened five years ago when I launched my own business. It was a risky move because I had just quit my full-time job with the stable income, but I knew I wanted to pursue entrepreneurship. Seeing my business plan come to life and watching the company grow and succeed is an incredible feeling! I celebrated the occasion with a nice bottle of champagne and a well-deserved vacation! It felt amazing to have taken that leap of faith, and I'm keen to hear about everyone else's experiences too.

That's fantastic! Taking the leap to start your own business is a massive achievement and it's great to hear you rewarded yourself with a well-deserved celebration.

My milestone moment came when I completed my first solo transatlantic flight as a commercial pilot. It was a long-held dream to fly internationally and seeing that plane soar across the ocean with just me up front was incredible. The feeling of achievement was immense, especially knowing all the hard work and training that went into that moment.

I didn't really have a chance to dwell on the milestone at the time as there was so much happening in the cockpit, but I took some photos after landing and treated myself to a nice dinner with friends that evening. It's a memory I'll always cherish and certainly motivated me to keep pushing for new goals.

hearing everyone's stories and congratulations!
