2025 REFLECTION 'ROSE/BUD/THORN':

• Happy New Year Team! I just finished a big EOY reflection and thought we can continue the momentum of last month to share what other WGMers are proud of, challenged by and excited about.

If you're down, share in this thread:

  1. Rose - What's something you're proud of from last month?
  2. Bud - What something you're looking forward to or seeing potential with?
  3. Thorn - What's a challenge or something you learned last month? I've shared mine below, looking forward to hearing your reflections! (feel free to copy my answer here as a template)

Rose 🌹 - WGM ending year with 110% YOY growth

Bud 🌱 - WGM Jan cohort is gonna add so much great energy

Thorn (🥀 - Feeling behind and not having enough time to do all the things

🌹 on X-Mas eve, I celebrated one year of alcohol free livin’ 🕺

🌱 have a list of nearly 50 people I plan to reach out to to set up one-on-one meetings* to explore where synergies exist (ideally IRL meets - preferably over tea, on a walk or in a sauna, natch!)

🥀 Sensing some folks in my company may be departing and am recognizing (embracing!) that I will have to really focus on being super-organized (which is, admittedly, somewhat of a challenge with ALL THE THINGS (to echo BVA) on my proverbial plate

  • if we haven't yet connected and/or are overdue for a tête-a-tête, pls HMU 🤙

🌹 Rose — I’m proud that we exceeded our monthly sales goals and did so with the most efficient CAC to date.
🌱 Bud — I’m looking forward to pushing myself in other areas of the business, especially content, creative, and lifecycle.
🥀 Thorn — I learned that I was more burned out than I realized. Taking a break made it clear that I need to be more intentional about making time for myself and nourishing my body and mind this year.
