May the wisdom of the snake guide you to success in all your endeavours

Happy Lunar New Year to all celebrating! 🧧🍊🎆 Lunar New Year has always felt special, and it often feels as if the new calendar year hasn't quite started until the festivities are over. Taking on running a company has meant experiencing it a completely different way, be it ordering oranges in bulk for our retailers (and figuring out which ones to order - 红美人, anyone?), or determining the most suitable greetings to send our partners in China and Taiwan using my now-rusty Mandarin. This year marks the Year of the Snake, with the snake being a symbol of change, adaptability, and most importantly, of renewal. It feels especially timely as we all enter a year where uncertainty only seems to be mounting, and change seems to be around every corner. It is a challenging time to be running an SME - I am now all too acquainted with the cost of business, and constantly concerned with building the company's resilience to tide through the impact of various geopolitical and economic forces. We are cautiously optimistic, though, and grateful to be in that position. It is clear that the way forward is foresight and long-term focus, and the courage to find and capture the opportunities that lie ahead. We have exciting plans lined up as we explore how we can be a business for good in the sports and fitness industries, with a clear set of values at our core, while maintaining our profitability and growth trajectory. I am immensely grateful to have a team that has been on board with my approach of treating the way forward as a blank canvas, and has embraced the change and shedding of older legacies. Here's wishing everyone a promising and transformative Year of the Snake ahead! May you be armed with courage and fortitude to weather and embrace the changes that lie ahead for the better 🐍🧧🍊✨ #lunarnewyear2025 #SME #entrepreneurship #businessforgood #sports #fitness

Fun fact: Tomorrow marks the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history as the first humans to set foot on the moon, showcasing the power of vision, planning, and perseverance. Did you know it took over 8 years of preparation and over 400,000 people working together to make this mission a reality? As we celebrate this monumental achievement, it's a great moment to reflect on your own financial journey. Just as the Apollo 11 mission required meticulous planning and innovative strategies to achieve its goals, so does creating a successful financial plan. To make your own financial "moon landing", let's discuss how we can craft a strategy that helps you reach your financial goals and build a secure future. #BobMclalan #MoonLanding #FinancialPlanning #GoalSetting #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialSuccess Source: https://lnkd.in/g8gd6qdd https://lnkd.in/gdt9ep6u

Here's to the last 28 years and the next 28! On this day, 28 years ago, IS2 was founded. While that's undoubtedly the most significant event to have occurred on December 13th, there have been a few other notable moments in history. 🔸 In 1972, Apollo 17 marked the last human landing on the Moon, completing the United States' Apollo lunar landing program. 🔸 In 1577, Sir Francis Drake set sail from Plymouth with his flagship, the Pelican, along with four other ships and 160 men, on an expedition to the Pacific. A shout-out to all the independent businesses that have endured and prospered through challenging times over the last few decades. Over the past 28 years, IS2 has grown stronger, and this year has been our best yet. Some of the valuable things we learnt in this time, might seem obvious, but they have helped us on our journey. 🔹 Build the best team you can and rely on their judgement 🔹 Keep focused when the doubters say it can’t be done 🔹 Stay true to the ethics you believe in 🔹 Don’t burn bridges and treat all who you deal with, with respect Our message of "Build it once" to streamline digital distribution is being seen, heard, and we are being recognised for what we can provide in the digital space. Cheers to being 28 years young! 🥳 #heritageandpedigree #notlegacy #Birthdaycelebrations #Independant #Established #Insuranceplatform #Digitaldistribution

🌍 Earthrise: A Moment That Changed Our Perspective 🌍 On December 24, 1968, the Apollo 8 mission gifted humanity one of the most iconic images ever captured—Earthrise. As the Earth rose over the lunar horizon, we were reminded of our planet's fragile beauty, suspended in the vastness of space. This image sparked a global environmental movement, inspiring the first Earth Day in 1970 and reminding us that Earth is our only home. Today, more than ever, we must protect our planet for future generations. At Dreamscape Initiative, we believe in the power of perspective and the importance of unity. Earthrise reminds us that despite our differences, we share this incredible planet. Let's work together to protect it. #Earthrise #DreamscapeInitiative #ProtectOurPlanet #EnvironmentalAwareness #Unity
