It's been 203 days of working from home & homeschooling.
The illusion of office attire is long gone.
We know each other on a more personal & honest level because, umm 2020 💩 😬
But we also launched our 1st big client! 🥳

Instead of finding a new way to trick people into buying/reading/sharing your stuff...
...spend time making it so amazing people can't live without it.
People spend $$ and feel great joy.
Then they spend too much and hate themselves.
Changing people's relationship with money is one of the most important things a #FinancialServices provider can do. #FinancialWellbeing
2 years ago I built a business based on helping clients to understand & change their relationship with money. It’s changed my life. My work is more meaningful. Today I announce the launch of the first online UK programme to help other advisers do the same. https://t.co/VVdglOKPlP
Staying home might be making gambling more tempting, especially if you're bored, have lots of free time, or you've lost your job or income.
🚫Remember, you can block gambling spending from your Monzo account

The GFC showed us that a global crisis can also foster innovation. Maybe the worldwide collaboration we are seeing right now will continue & bring a new wave of solutions for large scale problems.

Wealth managers on both sides of the Atlantic told the Financial Times that they had experienced a huge spike in calls as shaken clients seek guidance amid coronavirus-induced market turmoil https://t.co/N5aFCdRYbV
How companies work, provide services or deal with customers online will be in the spotlight right now, as people avoid going into shops, branches & offices. #FinTech is already ahead of the curve.
Keep breathing.
And remember...things change.
It is almost impossible for me to focus on the long-term right now, but every time I'm able to adjust my focus, even if it just for a second...it helps.
What would customers prefer?
A financial partner who helps build wealth, pay off debt & make better decisions, or, one that profits from poor #FinancialHealth & uses long-term bad debt as a way to lock in a relationship. #FinTech#MakeBankingBetter
