You can’t expect someone to level up just because you crash-landed into their orbit. Growth takes time and grace. Vulnerability is meeting people where they are, not where you wish they’d be.

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…

I’ll never understand how some people on this app will go out their way to reply to a comment with hate especially when their full profile is so easily searchable. Yes, it’s funny for the moment and you have something funny to share in the group chat but the digital log lasts…

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

Finding the right mentor is like finding the right therapist. It’s damn near impossible. So I built a board of advisors. Here’s some harsh truth you need to hear when it comes to mentorship #ownviews #marketing linkedin.com/posts/deshnieg…

Been on hold with @BMW_SA roadside assistance for almost 6 min. You only realise how long of a wait that is when you are alone and need help. Surely this wait time at 9am in the middle of the week can’t be this long. 🫠

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
