Just saw a Story ad that started with "We're ripping up the rulebook when it comes to running a business!"

What is this rulebook you speak of please? Does it tell me in great detail what to do? Are you meant to be given one because I've been winging it these eight years and think I missed mine?! 😆

I'm so thankful for the NHS, I could cry.
Was able to walk into the eye hospital, be treated by the kindest of staff & walk out whilst not having to pay (at point of service).
Many will say it's not perfect. Maybe it's not. But as an American living here, I don't take it for granted. I'm so grateful

My husband just told me he doesn't know who Miriam Margoyles is and I don't know what to think about that. 😐

Maybe I've been too busy to notice (really! Everything is at 100mph at the moment!), but I haven't seen many International Women's Day events around Manchester this year.

If you know of any, please let me know!

#IWD2025 #Manchester

That felt like a fever dream.

I love a live gig...I live for a good concert or show! But this F1 show isn't landing for me. Just show me the cars and more Valtteri, please 😁

Ooh Jack Whitehall...that super famous F1 pundit! 😆

(P.S. I do like Jack Whitehall, but maybe not in this setting?)

Three minutes into the F1 launch and I'm already like 🙃

Ooh, The 1% Club has started off a bit spicy this series! 😳😆

It's a shame! I think this place has the potential to thrive, and the best is yet to come.

Meta has pissed people off, Threads is yuck, we're supposedly sick of all the IG changes, and that OTHER platform should be well and truly done...

So why aren't more people utilising wonderful Bluesky? Or is it I'm just a tad boring? 😆

Please spare a thought for us social media marketers...we are currently not okay! 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

Welcome Nina! I've been here a short while now but trying to use it more. Enjoy!

I may be here mainly as someone in digital marketing, but please, please, please...talk to me about The Traitors.

(UK, not US which I know just started too, but I think I prefer regular people anyways. Too much bias for the celeb version.)

I've had quite a few new followers lately...so Hi! I'm Bri! A Social Media Marketing Specialist who's questioning everything at the moment 😆

Use ChatGPT smarter (and proofread!), and you can really make it work for you!

Nevermind leaving behind copy & paste ChatGPT in 2024...it should've been left behind long before that.

I'm not a ChatGPT hater - the opposite really! I love what it can do for me and especially planning my days, but the standard captions are spotted a mile away. Then there's this...

I may have overdone it on the Christmas cheeses this year...

Just kidding, of course I didn't.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Anyone else an autumn/winter lover like me? I LOVE the dark, early nights and can't stand the summer!

You'd think an original Florida girl like me would love summer here but not at all. I dread it!

I've just put an offer in on a house.

Let me tell you, it's the most nerve-wracking thing as a first-time buyer! File this under "Things they don't teach you in school."

Advice greatly received!

Anyway, I know the timing isn't fantastic before Christmas and all, but keeping everything crossed! 🤞

If you do one thing this Small Business Saturday, leave a positive review for a small business you’ve loved - retail or service, it all matters!

With today’s rubbish weather forcing some to close early, your kind words can turn their day around and leave a smile on their face! #SmallBizSatUK

Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities, filled with passion, creativity and dedication. Today’s the perfect day to show them some extra love!

Happy Small Business Saturday!

It might be a bit gloomy outside, but that doesn’t mean you can’t brighten a small business owner’s day! Supporting small businesses isn’t just important, it’s also super easy:

Wow, what a whirlwind November was - one of my busiest ones! From consulting and workshops to behind-the-scenes projects, it’s been a full-on but exciting time.

Here’s to making it a December to remember and ending 2024 on a high note! 🙌

Happy Thanksgiving!

Even 1000s of miles from home, I’m still all about that turkey, pie & family time! I took today to relax, recharge and soak up all the gratitude (and food! Hello pumpkin pie!).

Thanks for being part of this awesome journey. Grateful for all the love and support over the year!

Welcome to Bluesky, Janine! I'm loving it so far and hoping to see a good community of Greater Manchester businesses thrive here.

#BlackFriday is nearly here (or already is, according to some!) But, #smallbusiness owner, this is your reminder that you don't have to take part!

What matters is showing up, whether or not you're running offers. Focus on genuine connection over discounts, and you can absolutely still see success!🙌
