In this short motivational video, the speaker describes a personal annual ritual performed at the start of the year: entering the office, standing before a wall that displays each team member’s contributions and a tree whose leaves represent individual achievements from the past year. He expresses deep gratitude for his people and their impact on the entrepreneurial community, uses the visual metaphor of a blooming tree to signal growth, and cites a Dwight Schrute line (“I’m ready to face any challenges that might be foolish enough to face me”) to inject humor and confidence. He encourages other entrepreneurs to adopt a similar reflective practice to reconnect with their successes and reset their leadership mindset for the coming year.

Chapters

This is something I do every year, right at the end or at the start. This time I'm doing the start. I just come into my office and just absorb everything we've achieved, have gratitude for all the work we're doing, have gratitude for my people. It's our wall here of our team, looking at each person here, just showing such gratitude for for what they've done, how they've contributed to the entrepreneurial community. I'm looking at our wall of success there, that tree that grows. Every leaf represents something that we've personally accomplished in our lives over this last year. It's in full bloom. And, uh, of course I remember what Dwight Schrute says, I'm ready to face any challenges that might be foolish enough to face me. I hope you do something like this too, some kind of ritual of just reconnecting with what you're accomplishing in your business. Thank you for being an entrepreneur.
