Introducing: The Tangle E1
Happy (very belated) New Year! We know we’ve crossed over into February now—Winter Blues, we see you—but that’s okay. If, like us, you’re still figuring out your “ins and outs” for the new year, don’t sweat it. There’s often a lot of pressure at the beginning of every year to become new and improved versions of ourselves (hello, ‘new year, new me’ energy). If that’s motivating for you, go for it. If it’s stressful or overwhelming, take a step back. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, and you don’t have to set all of your intentions by January 1st. Turns out there’s another 364 days to explore and lean into the changes you want to see.
For us, this is all a work in progress. We didn’t have all of the answers on January 1st, and we’re very fine with that. We’ve been working over this past month to align ourselves as a team, reflect on the past year, and set some goals and intentions for moving forward (for the business and otherwise). And we’ll keep doing this work throughout the year. Practicing what we preach and actually walking the walk is so important to us—after all, we’re a startup, too.
While we’ll take some time over the next couple of weeks to share some of those reflections and goals with you, for now, remember that it’s okay not to have all of the answers right away. You’re doing hard and important work that’s often filled with uncertainty. We all try, we all learn, we all iterate. All year through.
