Ego will slow you down. It’s ok to be vulnerable and ask for help when working on a passion project or side hustle & balancing a 9 to 5. Think of your passion project like driving in F1, you’re in the seat, steering the vision, but even the world’s best drivers don’t change

What’s the circuit breaker? As marketers , our job isn’t just to ship campaigns & be the budget bestie. It’s to ask the uncomfortable question in the room. For every great idea your agency lands you have to think and ask and prep (as if it were fact) for the worst case

WAYS of working is as important as the final result. Getting to the finish line with burnt out energy & half baked ideas is manipulation not collaboration.

People who operate differently get different results. @StevenBartlett Net Net If you’re working in marketing, just try doing things different whilst keeping the business objectives aligned. Trust me, we need to change up the next 50 years of what marketing excellence looks

There is someone out there doing 10x better than you - not because they are smarter than you, but because they say NO more often. @GadzhiIman

9-5 Life Diaries. Leaping forward won’t always get you a soft landing but small steps will always balance you. Whether you are back at work this week or next, focus on small adjustments to reach your goals vs big sweeping changes that will be so hard to keep up. #NewYear2025
