In this short motivational monologue, the speaker describes a personal annual ritual performed at the start of the year. She enters her office, takes a moment to absorb and celebrate the achievements of her team and the broader entrepreneurial community, expressing deep gratitude for their contributions. She references visual symbols—a wall displaying team members and a flourishing tree representing personal accomplishments over the past year—to reinforce the impact of collective effort. Citing a pop‑culture line from Dwight Schrute, she affirms readiness to face upcoming challenges and encourages other entrepreneurs to adopt a similar reflective practice to reconnect with their progress and resilience.

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 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 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.
