Yo Yo! Reader,This is a reoccurring topic for weeks now - but it is where my head is... so this is what I will share. This week reminded me of something important: Not all progress looks productive. This was one of those weeks. Last Newsletter can be read here 🤷🏻♂️ Life & ThoughtsHere is a recap from my own learnings from the week... 🌱 The Work You Can’t MeasureI didn’t do much “tangible” work this week. Instead, this was a conversation week. The kind of week where your hands might not be full… but your calendar is. Meetings. Messages. Drop-offs. Deep chats. These are the seeds. They don’t sprout immediately. 🌀 Slowness = SpaceYou know what’s hard? The quiet before the growth. I get antsy when it’s slow. 💡 A Reminder This Week:Not all growth is loud. Sometimes the most important days are the ones where you felt behind, but you were actually laying bricks. So if this week felt off, or quiet, or weird… A Challenge for the Week:Ask yourself: ✅ What "invisible" work have I been doing lately? Business Snapshot for 2025 (currently):April is DONE. May is in full force and we are now about to hit 90 days into the Warehouse. I am genuinely excited each day with new things happening, especially as we continue to push more and more into the e-waste! Feb we started in the RED! But now we are getting back in the Green! Lets see how the next few months tally! Here are the results of APRIL 2025. ContentLatest Content:

Howdy Reader, A year ago, I wrote about “catching a break” and back then, it was coming from a place of hope.I was in the thick of uncertainty, trying to convince myself that if I just kept pushing, something had to give. Now, a year later, I’ve realised something important: You don’t wait for a break... you become it. Reflecting from where I was last year... lower sales, lower revenue, lower profits... and feeling a squeeze. Here I am again 1 year later, with the feeling of being squeezed...
