Hey! It’s Doone, your hype girl in business. It was Autumn & Spring equinox across the world this week and I can’t think of a better excuse for a little pause and a moment of reflection.

It got me thinking that there will always be this hustle and bustle and a thousand (& one) things to do, but *disclaimer* life is going by really fast. We all spend a lot of time worrying about the next part of our life, but guess what? You’re right in the middle of what you used to look forward to so much. So let’s stay right here, in the now, and soak up all that happiness. You’ve made it, girl.

Today we’re covering 👇

• A masterclass in a life-changing method

• Turning lemon into lemonade: from Majic

• Rare Beauty for sale, Nicki’s new brand & more

• £1K Sustainability Micro-Grants for anyone, anywhere

• Cool jobs ops in Sydney & NYC 👀

A Quick Masterclass in the 1% Method ✨

Let’s talk about the 1% method. If you regularly listen to the podcast, you’ve come across this one before.

The 1% Method = reaping huge rewards from small, seemingly insignificant actions.

Instead of getting caught up in the mountains ahead of you to reach your goals, the essence is that you just need to focus on that 1%. The compounded effect will leave you looking back down that mountain, wondering how the hell you got there. Think of it like planting a seed and nurturing it every day until it grows into a mighty oak tree. It's about making small, consistent efforts that compound into significant results in the long run.

Whether it's refining your product, honing your skills, or expanding your network, every small action you take contributes to your overall success. It's about staying focused on the long game and trusting in the process, knowing that even the smallest progress today can lead to monumental achievements tomorrow.

What I want you to take away from this? Just give yourself the goal of 1%. Say it out loud. Let’s do one percent better. Putting it into your mind, putting it out into the universe. Because when you combine passion with persistence and sprinkle in a little bit of compound magic, there's no limit.

Biz Wins (straight from Majic) 🪄

We’ve got an ongoing Biz Wins & Fails chat going in Majic. This is where we can learn what we can hopefully avoid in our own journeys, and what keeps us feeling like we are not alone in celebrating those highs. This week:

• Divya’s Friday Feeling was featured in Grazia India but they misprinted the price of their sunscreen as ₹200 instead of ₹1500 🤦‍♀️ . But set on finding the opportunity in every scenario the brand ran a fun 48-hour campaign over the weekend: any time a customer bought something on their website they could add the sunscreen for the misprinted amount of ₹200 ✨ | check out Friday Feelings here
