Why do a review of your year? It’s a great opportunity to look for things to celebrate and for things that you may have wanted to turn out differently. Both these things are rich with learning that we can take forward to the new year.

Ambition and determination are undeniable qualities that entrepreneurs need, but its equally important for us to take a step back and celebrate the successes along the way.

We all know the entrepreneurial dream: start a business from scratch, pour into it and build it up, and then sell it to make room for our next big gorgeous goal. That was my dream, and when I first accomplished it, I expected to feel grateful. After all, I had just crushed my goals and watched them pay off! While I did feel gratitude, I also felt grief, and that was unexpected.
