Still basking in the positivity and feeling utterly impressed by all of the @NorthernPowerWomen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I loved joining in through @SaferDate. Still thoroughly enjoying championing and steering brand with. I can share with you that this latest round of investing has been exciting and we are all feeling proud about hitting the end of this month milestone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This award for Small Organisation was SUCH A SHOCK for founder @elaineparker_2022 I did recommend she prep a blinder of an acceptance speech but she was sure there was no chance because we were on a table at the back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Felt some major sorority ❤️ with Nadia from @welovechatter who I was delighted to be sitting next to. We both studied at @unilincoln “at the turn of the century when it was still tiny”. We regaled the table with lots of anecdotes of our combined lairy days.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other award winning businesses that seriously impressed me include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@haloprojectuk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@biograd_education and @biograd_prenatal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@bradfordlitfest⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Highly recommend you take a closer look.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And here I am IRL with long time online buddy @seatedsewing. Still have shoe-envy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I was a little blue on learning about the step to remove lines from UK stores in the news back in December.
That strong smell always reminds me of Sunday night preschool week prep and getting my first pair of DM`s where I had to solemnly agree to "keep them in good nick" with my parents.

Official brand news comments blamed the intersection of buyer habits and huge lifestyle changes that occurred due to the lockdown (I`m guessing affected retail behaviour and wearing shoes).

But it all got me thinking about all the other nails in the coffin that may have preceded these events.

Here`s a trace back through time. With some salient points on how you can avoid this affecting your business.

I firmly believe that all creativity can be split into 2 unmistakable processes y`know.
Yep - that`s a pretty big belief! And trust me when I say with conviction... I mean all kinds of creativity:
🎨 That sculpture freezes a single intense emotion.
🎨 That album you will play over and over and over and never get tired of.
🎨 The movie you think is THE movie to end all films.
🎨 The tailored blazer allows for your slightly larger left boob (without giving your secret away).

PROCESS 1 is about creating with an impetus in mind. This is where you can put most of your typical creative business problems. There is ALWAYS a deadline behind your need to be creative or to innovate to solve a problem.

PROCESS 2 is about being led by more of a quest. For many artists, this quest can never be defeated or actually met. But nevertheless is the driver behind beavering away into the wee hours, sometimes for years on end.

You can take practical action on "Sexing-Up" Your Creativity and Innovation abilities with my download.

It`s a workbook that you can use every single time you need to show up with a bit more creativity.

It`s like the A-Z roadmap of how to challenge yourself and your originality through the uniqueness of thought including:
💡 Every creative aspect a quality brand needs.
💡 How to get proactive about breaking fledgling ideas to make them way better.
💡 Lateral thinking processes galore!

I was listening to a podcast the other day that explained what the #lipstickindex was and how it works.
I mentioned this to a couple of business pals of mine who told me how helpful this was for them right now when it comes to:
💋 Product Development
💋 Their 2023 Planning
💋 Tweaking their Services

So I made you this.

Here is a quick rundown of why I think you should be seriously thinking about how you can capitalise on this in your #femalefounded #smallbusinessuk

(and yes, I do think it`s a little bit of an outdated term, but when you get into it you see why it`s called this, but is not limited to lipstick or cosmetics).

Recognise any of these in your #smallbusinessuk right now?

If you do, then it is probably a good idea to stay AWAY from the #brandingtrends2023 this #newyear and instead focus on these missing pieces.

I’m in the DMs if you need to ask follow up questions.
Gimme a quick ❤️ if you feel focused on how you are growing your #smallbrandsuk

Tell me in the comments, what is your theme for 2023 ahead?
💋 Are you the type of #businessowner who adopts a single word for the year? If so, what is yours for 2023?
💋 Do you prefer a theme or a certain outlook?
💋 Are you still making #newyearsresolutions?
💋 Do you prefer to do all of this type of thing at a different time of the year? If so, when?

My rebellion against #trendchasing is the inspo behind this latest episode of #mwahtv

If that strikes a chord for you, come and take a look!

Too heavy a pour on one of these ingredients can create a unique set of problems when it comes to #growingabusiness. Take a look and keep on swiping to the end to see which ingredients you need to work on more and which you might need to cut back on for this next month ahead.
