What a year!

What a year Reader! I loved your responses to last week's email on what you've achieved and how you all feel! If you haven't responded yet, but want to, hit reply. I would still LOVE to hear how you look back on this year. For me, it's mind-numbing, and I am oh-so grateful. I have been in business for 14 years, and this year, my revenue is double the highest it has ever been! From my years with a crafty online shop, I have learned that revenue can be very deceiving, and you should not trust someone based on their revenue alone. :) ... My profit is 2,5 times what I have ever previously had. I am so grateful for each and every one of you who made this happen. Whether you hired me, referred me, or were here on this email list learning from me, I really am grateful you are here! Here are some more summary highlights from this year: I redid my branding: new logo, new colours and a new website. This already feels so long ago but I still love it. Oh, and a photo shoot to boot with photos I actually love (that is rare) I had 40% new clients this year who I got to help with their marketing for the first time and 60% returning clients. The most asked-for services were tech hours (mostly used for Kit or website) and Pick My Brain hours. The most loved course/program was Creative Marketing Puzzle (CMP)! I ran a fabulous CMP program in the spring (and yes, the next one is finally coming again!) I started moving over to Teachery and launched the new version of my content course Content Success there. I created a quiz for this business for the first time and people seem to love it. All in all, a good year! Again, I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you! I have decided that my word for next year is BLOOM as I want to grow this further (in a good way) and flourish. And I want to take all of you with me so I can help you all blossom even more too! I will see you in 2025. Happy Holidays <3 Warmest wishes Natalie Ps. I know that, unfortunately, this time of year is not a happy time for all. If that is you, I want to give you a big hug. Hey, did you know you can join Digitalie's Puzzle Hub? This is a fabulous community on Discord, where we talk about marketing, content, our businesses, and so much more! I would love to see you there!
