In Argentina, or at least my family, we celebrate Christmas Eve.
Have dinner together the 24th, at night.
Don't do nothing special the 25th, other than having for breakfast the dinner from the day before XD.

⚽ How would you translate Messi´s phrase into your language?

[ENGLISH] “What are you looking at, fool?
What are you looking at, fool?
Go, Keep walking, fool.
Keep walking.”

[SPANISH] "¿Qué mirá, bobo?
¿Qué mirá, bobo?
Andá, andá pa' allá, bobo.
Andá pa' allá".

Helps you charge the good and release the bad stuff.

2. DM ON SOCIAL MEDIA
10 Ways to Reach Clients

Messages are more personal but less efficient than emails.

Best of Both Worlds:
1° Cold email: “Hi, I’m selling stuff”.
2° Social DM: “Hi, just sent you an email about stuff”.

1° Cold Email
By default, emails are cold and anon, but can get hot, with the right timing, and get personal, by closing the distance.
Timing: Offer them what they need.
Distance: Let them know you know them.

[The Film Digest @TheFilmDigest]

Communication with clients can be hot or cold, personal or anonymous.
There are 10 things you can do to reach them:
Cold Email, Social DM, Offer Gig, Search Results, Hashtag Trends, Send Bid, Meet people, Join Communities, Create connections, Get a degree.

Life is like the Schrodinger's cat, good and bad thing can happen, both possible at the same time.
Only know what you got after you open the box.
Bright side is: among those options, you can choose the one you wanna live by.
