@Julianne Anderson got me thinking of this one... Today is all about the power of old-fashioned connection, handwritten cards. ✉️💛 There’s something special about receiving something in the post; it feels thoughtful, personal, and genuinely uplifting. If sending cards isn’t your thing (cost, time, sustainability), try a simple alternative: Send a warm “reach out” Christmas message to your network. A quick note to say you’re thinking of them can go a long way. Small gestures. Big impact. Let’s keep building those meaningful connections as we close out the year. 🎄✨

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a little story about how I got here. Not long ago, I was juggling a mix of random 9-to-5 gigs. Nothing was really clicking. I was working hard, but my bank account and my energy weren’t reflecting it. I kept thinking, there’s gotta be a smarter way to actually build something for myself. Then one day, I decided enough thinking, it was time to take action. I started looking into reselling and automated business models, something that didn’t tie me to a desk 24/7 but could still grow if I put in the work. The first steps were messy, full of trial and error, but I stuck with it. I learned how to source products, optimize listings, and set up systems so the business could r un smoother. Fast forward to now, I’m connecting with communities like this one, sharing ideas, and learning from other go-getters. The crazy part? It all started with one decision: to stop waiting for the perfect moment and actually take the first step. If you’re here trying to figure out how to move from thinking to doing, my tip is simple: start small, start now, and don’t be afraid to reach out and learn from others. Would love to hear what’s the first step you’re taking this week to move your business forward?

The Unlikely Connection Challenge Theme: Connect with someone you’d never normally talk to Today’s activity is all about expanding your network in unexpected ways. Your mission: Pick someone who you wouldn’t normally reach out to — maybe they’re in a totally different industry, a different personality style, or they post about things you don’t usually pay attention to — and send them a simple message: “Hey, I realised I’ve never actually connected with you properly and I’m curious about what you’re working on right now. What’s lighting you up at the moment?” Why this works (and why it's quirky): We all gravitate toward “people like us,” which means we often miss out on the surprising opportunities sitting just outside our bubble. The most magical introductions often come from unexpected directions. It builds your confidence in connecting beyond your comfort zone. And it makes someone’s day — because everyone loves to be approached with genuine curiosity. Bonus twist: Reach out to someone whose profile photo gives you a “mystery vibe” or someone you’ve seen comment on posts but never interacted with. Make it playful. Pretend you’re discovering a character in a movie. 🎬✨ At the end of the day, share in the group:

Today’s task is super simple but incredibly powerful: 👉 Reconnect with an old work contact you haven’t spoken to in a while. We all have those people we genuinely liked, collaborated well with, or learned from… and then life got busy. Today is the day to reopen that door. Just send a light, no-pressure message like: “Hey, it’s been a while! I was thinking of you today and wanted to check in. How are things going on your end?” You never know what opportunities, ideas, or reconnections could flow from a quick hello. Let me know how you go! 💛✨
