My shop hit 500 custom orders this year and I didn't even notice until yesterday

I was just going through my books to see how the spring rush went, and I saw the total number for custom work. It kind of blew my mind because I remember being so stressed about hitting 100 a few years back. I guess slowly building up a good name for wedding work in our town really adds up without you seeing it happen day to day. Has anyone else had a quiet number sneak up on them like that?

Ever track your "no" count too?

Tracking "no" makes it sound like a scoreboard, and that feels off to me. I try to focus on the "yes" moments instead, the things that actually fit. Counting rejections just seems like a fast track to feeling bad about yourself. What do you focus on to keep moving forward?

Honestly read somewhere that focusing on effort instead of outcomes helps a lot. Like just showing up counts as a win.
