Lands'​ End’s Post

Today is Herald’s 2nd anniversary. It was an idea on a napkin at a restaraunt. I have learned so many lessons in the last two years as the 100% owner of this business. See, I have owned two other businesses before but I was always the junior partner. This time around… Gettting the clients... Losing them… Making payroll… All of the reporting and accounting… Not to mention the actual client work itself… I know I have made a ton of mistakes - but there have been some major wins too. We grew 90% during year two. Year three is shaping up to be 40% growth. But mainly I’m working on margin management. Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Margin is for humanity. I’m after the last!

Happy #AldermoreDay to Aldermore Bank! We can't wait to see everything that you guys get up to.

In just one year’s time, we had a complete staff turnover. 🤯 It was brutal. 🥵 I learned a lot in that time, and the main thing was this: never compromise your values. 💯 You can find many skilled individuals in the world but that doesn’t make them the right person for your organization. ❌ 📝📥📓Despite knowing the HR rules, employment and labor laws, and best practices for hiring and retention, we did not get our culture right until I got clear about my personal values: innovation, candor, growth, volunteerism, independence. 🚀🙏🏼🤨 From there, I was able to finally articulate how I show my values in my work, and thus, how they show up in our organization if I am leading from my authentic place: 1. We challenge the status quo. 2. We are lovingly candid. 3. We value intentional growth. 4. We give back. 5. We believe in freedom. Our next step is to refine these further as an aligned group who agrees with these basic tenets. We will start by considering the specific examples of how they show up in our day to day lives and specifically identifying the people within our community (team, clients, vendors, referral partners) who demonstrate each of them. Start small. Start with you. 🙋 What do you value? How does that show up in your work? Do you see similarities with the people closest to you in life? 🤔 Does your team share these tenets or are you constantly wondering where their motivation comes from and why they don’t enthusiastically show to win every day? 🙃

Today, marks an awesome milestone of thirteen years. A time to celebrate the beginning, the mission, company values, and outstanding industry progression. I am grateful to work for a company with a daily focus on safety, strong customer relationships, internal employee growth, integrity, honesty, innovation, development, and the pursuit to become to become better human beings. #13strong #congratulations #foundationalvalues #foundationday

Constant calibration. It's my nine-year wedding anniversary today, and it has made me reflect on what it has taken us to get here: Constant calibration. Being in a relationship, whether it is with your partner in life or business, means juggling three things: 1. Looking inward: How am I? Am I living my values? 2. Looking at each other: Do we really see each other? How can we support each other? 3. Looking at the shared vision: Where are we headed? Are we still on track? It really is quite special when you find someone who aligns with you on all these levels. But it also takes energy, time and work. Like everything that is worthwhile pursuing, you have to nourish it. I don't believe that you can just "let it flow". It requires constant calibration. I am eternally grateful for Stuart Shepherd, my partner in life, and Saskia Roskam 🍪, my partner in business, who are on this journey with me. They never shy away from doing the work to make what we share stronger and get us closer to where we want to be. Bono so beautifully said: "Rather than falling in love, we were climbing up toward it.  We still are." And so are we. #anniverary #relationships #foundation

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

"Making bold decisions is usually scary. In business, you have to make tough decisions, and stick your neck out.  If it’s not feeling like this, then you're probably not challenging yourself or aiming high enough." - Belinda Everingham To mark our 10th anniversary last month, our founder and CEO, Belinda, sat down to reflect on the journey and share 10 of the biggest lessons she's learnt along the way.
