@DanielPriestley This is a great reminder. I hope 2025 is another great year Daniel

For entrepreneurs, here are my biggest trends/ideas to focus on in 2025... 1. Shift from being geographically focused to Ideal Customer Persona focused. If you limit your business geographically you are playing an old game that you can't win. EG: from being a Financial Planner in Ascot to being a Financial Planner for Airline Pilots. 2. Shift from mass markets to niche markets and luxury markets. The race to the bottom is over and it's not worth winning. All the money is in the top 10%. A niche market is defined by a group of people who are passionate about a common interest, they join groups, buy books and attend events together. 3. Long form content amplified by shorts. The key marketing strategy is to consistently produce content that is 10-180 minutes (podcasts, videos, etc) and then take snippets to use as short video that points to the full episode. Additionally books and audio books work the same way but have the added impact of giving you more authority. 4. Shift to manufacturing desire rather than manufacturing the supply of what you do. Become an engineer and analyst who can dissect exactly how people get to know you, prefer you and buy from you. The real money comes in when you have excess demand and limited supply. 5. Shift from building the business brand to the key person of influence brand. The top of funnel is the personal brand, then the product brand and the business brand is there to give your community of customers a name. 6. Build out your team. Business is a team sport. Think 2 cofounders, 4 fire starters, 8 core team, 30 performance team. Make sure all of your people are armed to the teeth with the latest AI, media and data tools. 7. Keep your eyes on your prize. Don't get distracted... Powerful AI algorithms are being trained to maximise your time on site. They will push all your buttons to keep you glued to your screen but this won't help your life. You have to use technology to create not be used by technology to consume. It's a war for your attention - you must put boundaries in place to carve out the time you need to build a business that gives you fun, freedom and fulfilment.

@stevemartincfp We need to grow. I know let’s ask the regulators 🤣

There have been a lot of anti growth and anti wealth creation ideas from the government but this is just mind blowing!

@sarahdrinkwater @Dishoom Dishoom is the best!

It doesn't matter how many carefully put-together "guides to London" I write for visiting friends - everyone, whatever their demographic, goes to @Dishoom & loves it.

@Rob_FitLegacy resting today. Legs yesterday and Im broken

@MavenAdviser Good luck Andy. Massive acheievement to go through all the admin again 😂

All set for another #HUMLondon. See you all soon! 😁

@samsloma1 @Tom_Orchard No idea what you are talking about

@Adam_Nextgen @Tom_Orchard Haha is there a budget coming up?

Car lights that stretch the width of the car. Just no. Stop it.

@Tom_Orchard @samsloma1 I feel like there has been so much budget talk but all the talk is really in this thread

@samsloma1 Sam wins the QI style buzzer for mentioning night rider. I knew someone would! 😁

@vospercfp @BladeoftheS Scary. These people are so out of touch with reality it is dangerous.

@BladeoftheS Yeah, but anyone with a passport can leave the country.

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

@ChrisatMOUK @oasis I should have really built a GPT for this.

@Adam_Nextgen @oasis Only 10 😂

So we’ve run the stats - if you want to go to @Oasis you have a 3% chance of gaining a ticket if but in ballot and 10% chance if you are - good luck 🤞🤘🎸

@D_RKirkpatrick You don't want Sancho. Imagine him in Newcastle over the winter 😂

Accepting that we're last chance saloon, which winger should Newcastle try for a last minute loan deal. Id be tempted by giving Jadon Sancho a chance to compete against Almiron and Murphy. Or my wild card shout of Dan James from Leeds. Decent on his day, can score #NUFC

Oasis have an algorithim that gives you 5 seconds to answer (to weed out the googlers)

@thesamparr Make sure you go to Manchester. That is the only option

Oasis just announced a 2025 UK tour. I will be in attendance!

@itsedaxe Onboarding

My business partner (Nick) scaled his business from $1m to $5M ARR in 2 years. A key factor? 1-click onboarding to create a top 1% client experience from day 1. Want the automation he used? Like + comment "onboarding" and I'll DM you (must be connected)

@juniper_jon I am glad that I am not the only one that noticed this!

Have City chosen Papyrus for their shirt name font? Looks like the kit man forgot to put the names on and scribbled them on with a Sharpie in a panic
