I recently celebrated a milestone birthday. And this has me thinking a little bit about milestones in general. Did you know that if you look up the word milestone in the dictionary, there are two basic definitions that are actually quite different?

The first definition is a stone to mark distance. So literally mile markers that you see on the road today are the current version of a stone every so often to mark distance.

But a milestone, according to my Merriam-Webster dictionary, is also defined as a significant point in development. So I’m not talking today about the set stones. Today I’m talking about significant points in our development, and specifically about how we can create significant points in development.
