Annual Review
Definition
A structured self-assessment at year-end reviewing what worked, what did not, lessons learned, and goals for the year ahead, a reflective planning ritual for founders.
Why it matters
Without reflection, founders repeat the same mistakes and miss patterns in what is actually driving growth. An annual review distils insights that inform a more intentional following year.
Example
Every December, a founder spends one full day reviewing her year: revenue by quarter, best-performing content, client satisfaction scores, personal wins, and areas for growth, then sets clear priorities for Q1.
