My Transformational Journey Through the 12-Week Milestone Circles Program at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center.
My recent experience in the 12-week Milestone Circles Program at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center has been nothing short of transformational. As a woman entrepreneur navigating challenges, growth, and even setbacks in my business, this program came at the perfect time offering structure, community, mentorship, and renewed confidence in my entrepreneurial path.
Each week, I attended virtual meetings with a dedicated mentor and a dynamic group of intelligent, driven, and like-minded women. Our cohort, lovingly known as Group 339, quickly became a supportive circle where we shared our goals, struggles, and wins. We were all committed to showing up for ourselves and one another.
Every session included weekly assignments designed to help us build momentum in our business. One of the most impactful activities was creating our business vision statement, a powerful exercise that helped me refine my mission, clarify my purpose, and define the milestones I needed to reach next. Sharing these milestones within the group held each of us accountable while also giving us the opportunity to be inspired by the journeys of fellow founders.
One of the highlights of the entire experience was our celebration at Nasdaq’s iconic MarketSite Tower in Times Square, honoring the March 2025 Milestone Circles graduates. Standing there surrounded by brilliant women entrepreneurs, seeing our cohort spotlighted in such an inspiring setting was a moment I will carry with me forever. It symbolized not just completion, but growth, resilience, and the beginning of even greater milestones.
I am incredibly proud to now be an alumna of the Milestone Circles Program. This initiative provides women entrepreneurs with essential resources, expert guidance, and a community that truly understands the entrepreneurial journey. Thanks to the generous support of the Wells Fargo Foundation, the program remains free and continues to empower thousands of women over the next year.
