As a designer, it's funny how when you are working on your own stuff—everything is more difficult. I think this comes down to the fact that when you are working with a customer, it is the THEIR responsibility to answer all of the hard questions. When I'm working with startups, I usually ask things like: - What are you selling? - Who is it for? - Can you send me a demo video? - Do you have any sales calls you can share? - What do your customers say about your product? But as soon as I started to try to answer these questions to set up my landing page for @oratorydesign, I started to realize that I have put off talking with customers (post project) wayyyy more than I should have been. So I have spent the last couple weeks, after relaunching with refreshed branding/positioning—talking to customers. And the common theme from all of them is that they said something along the lines of: - We actually can add new pages anytime we want - We feel more like an established company - Our website better reflects our product - Our customers trust us more - We are proud to share our site now - We like working with YOU specifically (Riley) -- The actual deliverables that I provide haven't changed much over the past year and a half of building Oratory. But I used to say, "We'll build you a 6 page website" — which is still necessary, but it isn't the whole story. Now, after having these conversations, I am starting to see how basically none of my customers END their project saying "we love our 6 page website" They end the project saying things like: - "[Oratory] made our product much easier to understand at a glance." - "They took what we had, improved the structure, cleaned up the visuals, and made the site feel more intentional" - "We started with a website and ended up with a creative partner we trust." - "The redesign made our message clearer and the brand more polished" These are real quotes from conversations I had with founders. I am not saying this to brag, or to convince anybody that they need to work with me. I am saying this to reiterate how important it is to talk to your customers. If you're building a startup (or service, like I am) then your customers can just tell you why they decided to buy whatever you're selling. What they say, and how they say it, might surprise you. Every founder knows that they should be talking to their customers, and they should be closely tied to what their customers want—especially when it comes to features (or deliverables, in my case) But these same conversations can inform marketing, positioning, and the entire story of your product/service. Don't fall into the same trap I did and say what you naturally might *want* to say. Use your customer's words to influence *how* you say it. Even if your product/service doesn't change, this shift can be enough to get prospects to go from "eh, sounds like everyone else" to "wow, I need this."

@aamutambara Chris is an S Hole, it shall come a time to burn those shithole, devil palyground churches

Today, we prayed and fasted for our nation, Zimbabwe, according to the instructions given by our Man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome at the Global day of prayer on Friday.

@ali_naka Chris is an S-Hol

Zimbabweans have rejected Chris’s prayers! I love this Zimbabwe

@savanofsky In African spirituality, mediation between God & humanity isn't limited to one figure. Ancestors, spirits, & sacred specialists serve as intercessors, guiding us to the divine. The idea of only Jesus as mediator ignores rich spiritual traditions.

No Christian should be praying the rosary. There is only one Mediator between God and humanity- Jesus Christ. Praying to Mary and worshipping her is straight up idolatry. Song is “SHE’S ROMAN CATHOLIC” by Savanofsky.

Growth takes time. Stay focused, persistent, and committed to your goals. Embrace the small steps today—they pave the way to the big successes of tomorrow.

@TateMavetera @UNDPZimbabwe Oh so proud of the team that built this

@NomazaRasmeni @Am_Blujay Please do that

@Am_Blujay When are we going to grow up as a people? Amassing wealth should be more than the acquisition of the latest luxury cars....As millionaires and billionaires, when do we elevate our people? Township economy? Build banks with affordable lending structures for our people? Is this us?

He doesn’t make any music that can make him afford all these cars 😂

@tivytave Say no more

There's a bully who's going to enjoy Cocomelon on this monster!

@daddyhope We don't need democracy in Africa

Oh dear… A lot of cleaning up is needed before Africa can deliver credible elections. My generation will probably not see credible elections because of how deeply rooted the rot is! While some countries have made progress towards democratic elections in recent years, others still face significant challenges due to corruption, violence, and a lack of transparency. The process of cleaning up these systems and building stronger democratic institutions will take time, effort, and sustained commitment from political leaders, civil society groups, and ordinary citizens alike. While it may not happen overnight, it is important to remain hopeful and continue advocating for positive change in the long term.

@bla_bidza Starlink's arrival in Zimbabwe could revolutionize the nation's digital landscape. By introducing robust competition, it may spur innovation and improve service quality across the telecom sector.

The arrival of Starlink in Zimbabwe could have significant long-term implications for the country’s telecommunications landscape, particularly for Econet, the leading telecom provider. If Starlink undermines Econet's viability, the consequences could be profound and potentially catastrophic for several reasons. Developed economies often protect and maintain the viability of their local telecom incumbents for good reason, and Zimbabwe should be mindful of this. One immediate concern for Econet is its credit rating with international agencies, which is crucial for securing affordable capital to maintain and upgrade its mobile phone infrastructure. If Starlink erodes a substantial portion of Econet's revenue, it could negatively impact the company’s ability to maintain favorable credit ratings. This would make it even harder for Econet to access affordable financing, exacerbating existing difficulties. Already, due to the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe’s leadership, Econet has been struggling to secure funding from international capital markets. As a result, it is forced to rely on expensive sub-prime lenders and purchase lower-cost equipment from Chinese telecom suppliers, which has led to occasional service issues. The added competition from Starlink could further strain Econet’s financial health. Econet is deeply integrated into Zimbabwe’s economy. It is the country’s second-largest taxpayer after Innscor, and its influence spans across sectors, including finance and mobile banking. Disrupting Econet’s operations could lead to widespread economic, social, and security consequences. Zimbabwe could find itself more dependent on foreign providers like Starlink, which would reduce its ability to control its own digital infrastructure and economic growth. Despite these challenges, Econet has proven to be a resilient enterprise business, capable of innovating even in a highly regulated and politically charged environment where it is often viewed as a financial cash cow. While Econet is not without its faults, it has endured these pressures and remained a vital player in Zimbabwe’s telecommunications industry. Undermining Econet’s position could be detrimental to the country’s long-term economic stability.

Ask questions, challenge assumptions, disrupt sh**

Grow Through What You Go Through

@nelsonchamisa Zimbabwe's potential can only be fully realized by embracing our indigenous wisdom & traditions and is not determined by Western influences. Nyika ino ine varidzi vayo and havana kurara. Blind adherence to Western models (Christianity) has diverted us from our path to prosperity.

A DONE DEAL FOR ZIMBABWE..In what is coming, Zimbabwe has been remembered and saved. God will fulfill His promises in the land of the living and the now. And all shall see it and testify. Our God is a Covenant keeper, Way maker and Promise deliverer. Be of good cheer Zimbabwe!🇿🇼 Deut 7:9, Psalms 145:13-21 & 2 Corinth 1:20 Blessed Sabbath. #ANewDawn #Godisinit

@BenDubwa @joseph_kalimbwe Nothing at all

@joseph_kalimbwe There is nothing wrong with questioning religion.

Maponga is now living in Caves and Mountains. His supporters claim its Pan Africanism and say I must stick to Politics. But how do I stick to politics when an African brother is going mad before our eyes & questioning Jesus. Your Pan Africanist is going nuts, literally !

@ThunderRamiel @joseph_kalimbwe Only way to where?

@joseph_kalimbwe Jesus Christ is the only way

@AristildeCanada @CanEmbZimbabwe @CanadaFP @CanadaPE @MoFA_ZW Our Independence Day is a slap in the face. We celebrate supposed liberation, yet our ideals lie broken and promises gather dust. We deserve better! This nation's potential is squandered, but this frustration will not be silenced forever.

Good to be in Murambinda, Manicaland, today taking part in Zimbabwe Independence Day festivities. Today we pay respect to the heroes of the🇿🇼struggle and wish all Zimbabweans a Happy Independence Day! Bonne célébration à tous les zimbabwéens! 🇨🇦🎊👏🇿🇼

Your time is coming, Be Patient.
