@evielync Wait. So the Inbox is not Write-Only 😳?

So I don’t just write stuff and forget about it??? Oh dear, this is going to hurt!

Great reframing. I might just have a look in mine.

@HackettOfficial Such a great performance. The band were on fire and the atmosphere was electric. And you’re right about the bass - wow!

Most people amble through life on cruise-control or getting caught up in head-trash.

Olympians sort their heads out and make big sacrifices in order to achieve their ambitions.

What ambition for your business would excite you enough to sacrifice some cruising habits?

[Jeanne Torre @JTorreCoaching]

Athletes come to the Olympics with one of 3 goals:

1- Make it to the Olympics
2 - Medal
3 - Win

Who do you imagine will train the hardest?

Set goals that chase greatness.

Stories create connections like nothing else.

The insights in this thread from @UliKuenzel will help you to craft a story to make stronger connections through your marketing and with your clients.

@JTorreCoaching @dickiebush @Nicolascole77 And me too, Jeanne. Some great new friends and connections, plus my writing is far more habitual again than it was. I reckon another 30 days should get me properly in the swing of things.

[Lee Duncan 🚢 @Lee_Duncan]

I am doing the August Ship 30 for 30 cohort from @dickiebush and @nicolascole77!

We often forget to apply what we learn.

In business, it means we miss out on profit, extra sales, and so on.

@cretiredroy made sure he didn't miss out on pizza using secondary school maths...

@giannicara Ah, the madness of Gianni Cara. I hear that Hollywood picked up the rights to serialise it 😁

@JTorreCoaching Many years ago, when in a work crisis, I would answer the phone with a smile and the line, “Titanic engine room, how can I help?”. While it tended to stop people on their tracks, I like your husband’s reply better!

@CopyWriteConnor @adyslexicwriter @dickiebush @Nicolascole77 Packed full of gold, this thread. Great way to use your experiences to develop your product, too. Creatingnin public looks good on you, Connor!
