✨ Reflecting on an Amazing Event We Had Last Wednesday 🎨 Participants explored the powerful topic of unlocking their potential through NeuroGraphica® and the Professional Success Power Cards. At the start of the workshop, each participant received a card from the Professional Success Power Cards set, setting the tone for their journey and providing unique guidance throughout the process. Here are some highlights shared during and after the NeuroGraphica® drawing session: 🌟 Pain Relief/Headache/Tension: One participant shared that there was a physical pain before starting the drawing, but by the end, the pain was completely gone. Another participant noted feeling calmer after dissolving the catharsis, although some tension or headache lingered and by the end of the process, even these symptoms had disappeared. 🌟 Taking Action: Every participant identified the first step they would take to unlock their potential—turning insights from the drawing into an actionable plan. Thank you to everyone who joined and embraced this journey with openness and curiosity. I can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll achieve! 💫

People love to say the "agency model" is broken. That companies will increasingly rely on internal teams, sole practitioners, or AI for creative services. And, that's probably true. But, as we close out 2024 (Wide Eye having had a strong year), I’d argue the best agencies aren’t about the MODEL at all—they’re entirely about the PEOPLE who work there. The right team, supported by a strong culture, can deliver creative solutions that no individual or AI algorithm alone can replicate. At their best, agencies are effectively teams of experts. They bring strategy, creativity, and collaboration to solve complex problems and drive meaningful results. They do the deep, long-term thinking so that busy internal teams can imagine and follow through on what's possible. So while some may see the agency model as outdated, I'm a sappy, true believer in the value of highly seasoned creative teams of HUMANS who together make each other stronger. The challenges of 2025 will demand bold ideas, adaptability, and collaboration—and I’d bet on the right, people-focused agency every time.

🌟 Big lesson I learned from last year: Having a vision and executing it well doesn't always mean it's the "right" vision. 🌟 Let me explain... In 2023, we focused on: ⭐ Building our brand ⭐ Understanding our community ...primarily through events. And these events were 🔥🔥🔥. They did wonders for our brand and helped me connect with our customers. BUT... Our community now craves more: 1️⃣ More places to find us (more of the RIGHT distribution) 2️⃣ More product variations to fall in love with (announcement on this coming soon) So, this year is all about expanding and innovating. 🚀 Being a solo startup leader means learning on the go. I beat myself up a lot in the past few months for not course-correcting sooner (i.e. changing up distro and product strategy earlier), but I'm learning to just move forward. And don't worry, we're not ditching events. We're just getting smarter about them, partnering with other cool brands when it makes sense. 🤝 (aka First Round's On Me in the vid below). Remember, behind every fabulous event is a whole lot of strategy brewing backstage. 🎭 https://lnkd.in/g_6u3myf

Thank you for being here today. As we gather, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey that brought us to this point. Each of us has faced challenges, encountered obstacles, and experienced moments of doubt. But through it all, we have persevered, driven by a vision—a vision not just of success, but of making a lasting impact.Business is not just about profits or market share; it’s about creating value, solving problems, and improving lives. Every product we launch, every service we offer, has the potential to change someone’s world. This is the power of what we do, and it’s a responsibility we should never take lightly.As we look to the future, I want to remind you that innovation doesn’t just come from new technology or ideas; it comes from a mindset. A mindset that embraces change, that sees challenges as opportunities, and that is relentless in the pursuit of excellence.We are not here to follow the path others have laid out. We are here to blaze our own trail, to set new standards, and to push the boundaries of what’s possible. But this journey is not one we take alone. It’s the collective effort of each individual in this room that will determine our success.So, I challenge you today to think bigger, to dream bolder, and to act with purpose. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to challenge the status quo, and to pursue your passions with everything you have. The world is changing rapidly, and those who adapt and innovate will not just survive—they will thrive.Remember, greatness is not achieved in isolation. It’s achieved by teams who believe in something bigger than themselves, who trust each other, and who are committed to a shared vision. Let’s support one another, celebrate our successes, and learn from our failures.The future is ours to create. Let’s make it extraordinary.Thank you.
