It's our 5th Birthday 🎂 To celebrate? Our first LinkedIn post (rather embarrassingly) but better late than never! A huge amount has changed over the last year, with a new office, new skills and a quickly growing team, the next 12 months looks to be really exciting. Stay tuned...

I turned 27 yesterday. And here’s what I realized: I don’t celebrate myself enough. I’m always afraid that taking time to celebrate instead of focusing on what’s next will only lead to complacency. … and, ultimately, failure and regret. But all it really does? Reinforce the idea that I’ll never be “enough.” And that couldn’t be further from the truth. Because if I’ve learned anything, the key to progress is this: ↳ Take your time. ↳ Take a deep breath. ↳ Take a moment to celebrate. No matter how small. You deserve it. In an effort to follow my own advice (because who even does that), here are 7 wins I’m proud of heading into Year 27: ⤵️ 1. I’ve consistently written content for over 90 days. 2. I’m meeting my son for the 1st time next week. 3. I celebrated my 1-year wedding anniversary. 4. I’ve connected with my favorite creators. 5. I’m excited about what the future holds. 6. I’m proud of who I am becoming. 7. I started writing on LinkedIn. — I’ve learned that celebrating your wins is more than just feeling good. Because when we remind ourselves of our achievements, no matter how small, we remind ourselves how capable and worthy we truly are. So, here’s to not just moving forward but taking the time to look back and appreciate how far we’ve come. Because this life is one we should enjoy every step of the way.

Today, I celebrate my 27th birthday 🥳 (Longer and a bit cheesy post alert) Over the past year, I: - Started creating content on LinkedIn - Grew my following from 440 to 2,900+ - Bought our very own home with my partner - Started running LinkedIn & copywriting workshops - Made some new friends & reignited old friendships - Attended amazing Coldplay & Ed Sheeran concerts - Played a lot of padel and disc golf, and learned salsa - Fulfilled my dream of seeing LeBron James play irl - Invested thousands of $$$ into self-development - Became a copywriting teacher at a college - Traveled to the UK, Sweden, and Cyprus But alongside the wins, I also: - Faced failures - Burnt out hard - Had sleepless nights - Gained some extra weight - Had difficult conversations - Felt constantly overwhelmed - Dealt with tons of doubt and fear - Missed out on some business opportunities It's been quite a rollercoaster, but every experience, whether good or not so good, has made me wiser, stronger, and better. And I'm grateful for all of it! (Shoutout to my support system—aka my partner, family, and friends—whose unwavering support has helped me keep my sanity :D) Anyway... what's a proper LinkedIn post without a takeaway message, right? So, to celebrate my 27th birthday, here's a 27-word message/pep talk for you and myself: Bet on yourself. Take the leap of faith. Give your best. Say "no" to what doesn't 100% align with you. Keep going, even without seeing immediate results. With love, Kristo (Back to enjoying my birthday here in Cyprus 😎✌️)

To everyone celebrating their birthday this month, Take this time to celebrate and reflect on the significant events and lessons learned throughout your journey. It is a wonderful opportunity to honour your achievements and look ahead to the future. As you celebrate and do some self introspections, remember to avoid these common pitfalls: (1). Don’t Compare: Avoid comparing yourself to others. Everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s important to focus on your own path and achievements. (2). Don’t Focus on Age: Try not to dwell on the number of years. Instead, focus on the experiences and wisdom you’ve gained over the years. (3). Don’t Neglect Self-Care: Make sure to prioritize self-care. It’s easy to get caught up in responsibilities, but taking care of yourself is essential. (4). Don’t Fear Change: Embrace the changes that come with aging. Life can bring wonderful surprises at any age, so stay open-minded. (5). Don’t Isolate Yourself: Avoid withdrawing from social activities. Stay engaged with your community and friends to maintain a fulfilling life. Happy Birthday to all of you! Enjoy your special Month 🎂 🥳 🎉.

[Happy anniversary Jenna] To celebrate, here are 11 lessons from 11 years: 🕐 Challenges can bring you together if you let them. 🕑 You think you’re busy before having kids. You’re not. 🕒 Making memories is the name of the game. 🕓 The years race by faster and faster. Find ways to slow down. 🕔 Two people focused on the same priority is a powerful force. 🕕 Appreciate how your partner’s strengths help you to do what you love. 🕖 Boring things become fun and meaningful when you do them together. 🕗 You think you’re tired before having kids. You’re not. 🕘 We all love to do certain things. Give each other space to enjoy that time. 🕙 It’s never too late for chocolate. 🕚 Some fresh air and a conversation always helps. Thanks Jenna for making all our years so far so memorable. With love, B P.S. – What would you add to these lessons?

There’s a difference between what you’re good or great at, & what you’re exceptional at. I’m great at lots of tasks around getting clients. I’m exceptional with helping my clients to get better clients in a simpler way. I call this ‘The Simplified Way’ 🔥🔥🔥 This looks like: 💸 Ensuring the right offers are on the table right now. Not all business models will work for you in this season of your life. 💸 Getting super clear on the micro problems your offers solve so you know how to get dream clients holding their hands up & hopping on your links/DMs 💸 Knowing the simple way you will sell out your offers that feels fun for you. No more exhausting live launches required 💕 2 of my amazing clients messaged me yesterday to tell me they had signed 3 new clients in 24 hours 💸💸💸 I ran out of emojis on Voxer celebrating them 😅 If you want to lean into what you’re exceptional at, it’s time to get Simplified. I’ve made a video to walk you through what will be covered in this 3 month experience of simplicity. I have group or 1:1 options. Put ‘video’ below or DM me to hear about this. PS today is our 35th anniversary 💕💕💕

Celebrating 1,000 days at Nous 🥳 This morning I was reminded that today is my 1,000th day working at Nous. My first reaction? Woaah that’s a lot of time spent staring at one laptop. And I’m slightly concerned about how many cups of tea that adds up to. But… I’ve also been thinking about everything that’s happened since I joined. And I realised it’s pretty damn impressive what we’ve accomplished so far! So in honour of my Nous millennium (what do you mean that’s not a thing??), here are a few things I’ve learned: ⭐ If you ask Lydia to be in a TikTok video it will go viral 99% of the time ⭐ Sending a customer a hand-written thank you note is totally worth the effort ⭐ Energy, mobile and broadband providers use some real crafty comms to get us all to pay more ⭐ Unintentionally enormous oven gloves make great company merch ⭐ It’s not the end of the world if you accidentally email every customer saying “Hi Paul” ⭐ Nothing will ever make me sweat more than pressing “send newsletter” to our biggest email list ⭐ Going a little bit viral does (annoyingly) give you a great dopamine hit ⭐ Banging a gong to celebrate wins in the team, no matter how big or small, will genuinely make everyone smile ⭐ Someone will always laugh at your puns (even the really, really terrible ones) ⭐ 9 out of 10 people really are overpaying on their bills ⭐ There will always be someone on Facebook who says your product sucks ⭐ It’s impossible to leave work on a Friday without saying ‘what a week’ ⭐ Working with people you can genuinely call your friends is the absolute best The one thing I’m yet to learn..? How to use our coffee machine. That thing still scares the crap out of me.

This week we're celebrating our 6th birthday! As we mark our 6th year, we're filled with gratitude and are excited for the years ahead. Thank you to our incredible team, loyal customers, and supportive partners that have been with us on this journey.
