Group Fox Management’s Post

🎪 It’s been like piccadilly circus here this morning.    As we got back from the dog walk about 8am our new gardener 👩🌾 turned up, ready to spend a day getting things to a point so she can then maintain it regularly.   👚 At about 9.30 another doorbell signalled the return of a pile of clothes from the ironing company we use; All freshly pressed, folded and hung ready to be worn.   And then, at around 11, the cleaners waltzed in, played with the dogs and got to work, chatting away as per their usual.   Oh, and on the way back from a meeting I got the car cleaned.   I often get challenged on why we have cleaners, a gardener, get our ironing done and take the car to be cleaned.   Surely it would be cheaper to do it ourselves.   Maybe it would.  I do mow the lawn, I’m terrible at ironing, hate cleaning and I suppose I could clean the car.   But something I learned long ago is to focus on what I’m good at and delegate the rest.   We’d end up doing all those things in the evenings and on the weekends.  That would cut into spending time together, playing golf, seeing friends and family.  The things that (to me) are more important.   Having that clarity, understanding what I’m good at and find enjoyable makes it an easy decision.   I do the same in the businesses.  I concentrate on utilising my skills effectively and delegate the minutia, the detail.   Any day I can find something less to do is a win.   So, if “it’s easier to do it myself” or “it’s quicker than showing someone else” or “no one will do it like me” or “they’ll just get it wrong" is your credo maybe it’s time for change.    Your, overwhelmed, hamster wheel, fire-fighting days are a product of not valuing your time and not understanding what’s truly important to you.   If you’d like a different type of day, if you’re fed up of people stealing your days, of not having the time let’s have a sensible conversation about how to change that.  It’s not easy though it is simple.  It’s not quick though it is 100% guaranteed.   Why no drop me a DM - let’s get you out of the weeds and get you smelling the roses.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗼-𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀! It's officially summer! Time for family road trips which hopefully include our dog family members. Have you ever thought about why dogs are drawn to the wind in their fur during car trips? It extends beyond a better viewpoint; it's a complex sensory experience! For our canine companions, the rush of air brings a chorus of scents – a mixture that taps into their extraordinary olfactory senses. (A dog's sense of smell is about 40 times more powerful than ours.) Think of it like running past your favorite bakery, then the best coffee shop, and rounding the corner past the movie theater's popcorn popper.  Snifffff...ahhhh. Curious about creating spaces that bring this canine joy to life? Let's talk about it. Message me to brainstorm about your next project. #animaladvocate #designfordogs #landscapearchitecture

The Fish Whisperer Every fly fisherman dreams of being that one guy who can just walk up to a river, give a little nod to the water, and watch as fish take his fly ‘on demand’. In the branding shark tank, we call that these guys ‘brand whisperers’—the one who just “gets it.” They know exactly what fly is hot, where to cast, and how to land the biggest catches while making it look easy. But here’s a secret: even the ‘brand whisperer’ had to start somewhere, usually by getting hooked up in a few hundred trees along the way. Becoming a master in branding, like in fly fishing, takes time, patience, and a lot of trial and error. You’ve got to spend time: study the waters (or the market), infiltrate the fish (your audience), and master the techniques (marketing strategies). And yes, sometimes it feels like the fish are laughing at you from beneath the surface, but, that’s all part of the learning curve. If you’re not a brand whisperer, get one to help you. Let them guide you.

Keep casting, keep experimenting, and keep learning from every nibble and near miss. Trust a brand whisperers’ sixth sense that tells him exactly what your customers want. And when you do, you’ll be the one standing by the river, cool as Cruise (Original Top Gun®), while the fish (customers) come to you. #BrandWhisperer #FlyFishingLife #MarketingMastery #BrandStrategy #BrandGuidance #MasteringBranding
