Celebrating a Decade of Greatness! 🎉🎈 Friends, followers, and loyal customers! Today, we are here to celebrate a spectacular milestone: our 10th anniversary as a company! 🥳🎊 Yes, you read that right! Ten years filled with laughter, challenges, and above all, success! From our humble beginnings, we've embarked on adventures that could rival the best Hollywood movies. 🎬✨ Remember when we started in the garage next to the grandmother of diaper pants, with just a tabletop lathe and a bunch of crazy ideas? Well, since then, we've grown bigger than that bunch of crazy ideas, and that's saying a lot! We've faced more obstacles than we can count: from technical issues that made us sweat more than a marathon in the desert, to emergency meetings that kept us up until the wee hours of the night. But each challenge has made us stronger, more resilient, and, well, sometimes a bit grayer due to stress, but that doesn't matter! We keep moving forward! However, it hasn't all been hard work and tears (though there were some of those too). We've shared moments of pure joy and camaraderie. So here we are, raising our cups of coffee (or tea, or juice, or whatever makes you smile in the mornings!) to toast to another 10 years of successes, challenges, and above all, fun. Thank you for 10 incredible years! The Ejematic Team 🚀🎉 #Anniversary #Celebration #10Years #SuccessStory #CompanyMilestone #TeamSpirit #BusinessGrowth #Innovation #JourneyToSuccess #CheersToTheFuture

19 years is a long time for a small business to survive, much less thrive, especially in tech. These elements have seen me through and kept me passionate about, and relevant in, this space: 💡 Curiosity: An almost endless curiosity about business challenges & how technology might play a role in the solutions 🥨 Flexibility: More than just adapting to change, our team thrives on change and get bored when things are static 🤝 Integrity: We're not bound to external sales goals or growth targets, and our clients know we care about their success more than we care about an extra dollar 🌐 Global impact: We've touched hundreds of millions of lives with our education, financial and health solutions, leaving things better than we found them Let's see what we accomplish in this next year! #wosb #smallbiz #femaleEntrepreneur #womenintech

It's been 20years of Clarity, Simplicity, and Integrity. We appreciate our talented team and all our loyal clients over the years. #communication #publicfinance #climatechange #sustainability

We’ve got another work anniversary to celebrate this month! Kyle Geib has been with BFO for three years now, and we can’t imagine our team without his infectious energy and encouragement. Here’s what you need to know about Kyle: Q: What is one trend in digital marketing that you’ll be keeping your eye on this year? A: Watching how search is evolving. AI overviews, more and more zero-click searches, and how content and brand presence will have to navigate it is going to be critical for every brand this year. Q: What is your biggest professional or personal highlight of the last 6 months? A: For me, it was the places we've taken BFO to share our expertise. We attended and spoke at a lot of events last year, and being able to get our team's intelligence in front of so many people is absolutely a highlight for me. Q: Who is your dream client and why? A: I want to help more Chicago-based brands grow their presence. I love this city and more people need to know about all the incredible brands that call Chicago home. That... or Fender Musical Instruments Corporation because [see photo] 😂 Q: Describe yourself in two emojis A: 🎸🪴 (it's a houseplant, don't make it weird.)

Today, I’m celebrating my 4-year business anniversary from a cozy coffee shop in Costa Rica, laptop open and heart full. When I started this journey, I had no idea how much self-employment would teach me—not just about business, but about myself. Over the years, I’ve learned: ✨ The power of delegation – You can’t do it all (nor should you!). Building a team has not only grown my business, but it’s given me space to focus on what I love most. ✨ The importance of self-growth – Running a business is as much an inner journey as an outer one. Community, coaching, and intentional work on myself have been game-changers. ✨ Balance is possible – By redefining success on my terms, I’ve built a life that feels fulfilling, balanced, and free. It’s not always easy, and there’s plenty of hustle and hard work behind the scenes. But moments like this—working from a place I love, feeling aligned with my purpose—remind me that it’s all worth it. To anyone dreaming of their own path: Start small, stay consistent, and don’t forget to celebrate along the way. 🎉 Here’s to 4 years of growth, learning, and balance—and to what’s next!

As we near our 10th Anniversary celebrations at CM Advocates LLP, these are some of the most important lessons that I have come to embrace: 1. Don't try to be better; be different. In other words; always think differently; and often inverse. 2. You should be ruthless when it come to execution. Concerning this point, I wish to borrow these two quotes: (a) “Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.” – John Doerr (b) “Strategy without execution is hallucination.” – Thomas Edison 3. Always be bold and courageous. Never give room to fear or self doubt. In the words of Peter Drucker, “The best way to predict the future is to create it." 4. Resilience and agility are critical and indispensable skills or attributes in life and in business; therefore, cultivate them. By these I mean that we should always be ready to respond quickly to any disruptions or change. On this point, here is my favourite quote from the father of the rainbow nation, Nelson Mandela: "Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." And this too: "When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven't."~ Thomas A. Edison

Financial well-being is such an important topic and conversion to have, really great to spend talking to Emily Trant Richard Fleming and Max Lintott about it. #wagestream #financialwellbeing #supedrug and #savershb

We were celebrating an anniversary in the office today and one of the team said I had been an inspiration over the last 12 months. I wasn't expecting that, it was lovely to get the feedback. I took this photo on holiday the other week and it got me thinking about how we inspire others, but more importantly, how do we move forward and inspire ourselves. Imagine you're standing on the shore, the place where you've always been. The sand beneath your feet represents your old self—familiar, comfortable, but limited to this small stretch of beach. The waves lap at your ankles, inviting but also uncertain. The ocean before you is vast and unknown, a symbol of potential, change, and discovery. You step into a small boat, pushing off from the shore. As the distance between you and the land grows, you leave behind all that was safe but stagnant. The shore fades into the distance, like the version of yourself you’ve outgrown. You’ve let go of the stability you once clung to, trading it for the endless horizon. Out on the open water, the journey isn't always smooth. The sea is unpredictable, like the uncertainties and fears you face in the process of transformation. There are moments of calm, where you feel the peace of aligning with something new, and moments of storm, when you doubt or struggle against the waves. But as you continue sailing, the horizon ahead becomes clearer. You begin to trust the journey, feeling the wind in your sails, carrying you toward a version of yourself that has yet to fully reveal itself. You no longer look back to the shore; the pull of the unknown future is stronger than the past you've left behind. Eventually, you see a new shore, representing the discovery of your new self— a place that holds different possibilities, growth, and deeper meaning. The person stepping out of the boat on this new land is not the same one who left the shore behind. Interesting thought to ponder, maybe it is time to find your boat!
