I love 24. Make decisions quickly.

After much procrastination I’ve come to believe that the pain of delay and regret is generally worse than charging ahead.

Sh*t happens but no one cares as much as you do.

I like to think I’m always moving towards my horizon, looking beyond the obstacles as I reach them and feeling gratitude for the journey.

Though I normally avoid 3’s of this and 7’s of those this 26 is REAL (and I could add a few). Been there; doing it; have the scars; loving it! So I smiled a lot whilst reading this.

Thank you and well done.

…but I think you definitely need to go and do that wine course at some point in your life!

Onwards and Upwards!

This was such reassuring reading, thank you for sharing it.

The bits that really stood out to me were “Be prepared to be bored by your own elevator pitch” – I love what I’m doing, and I know it’s great that people are interested and asking me about it, but sometimes I just don’t want to explain it again!

Your experience with PR was interesting too as I was thinking of going down the PR rather than advertising route but I’m now re-considering the balance. I think it’s about getting the right kind of PR too – i.e. for me it would be product placement rather than company profile type PR.

I could say so much more, but I’ll just end with thanks to you and the rest of the team.

Ilona

I had escaped feeling I had to and it was then or never…It has been tough but I don´t regret a single moment, effort, or challenge.

I have found my next step through you guys :)

All the best!

Was really stuck with ” get going with what you have” really couldn’t have agreed more with you. There will never be perfect moment you just need to keep pushing.

Thanks again, will certainly try and get over this phenomena.

I would be interested in reading on how the birth of Escape the City came about; from an operational/logistics point of view? Ah-ha! moments; biggest challenges, etc.

Keep it up!

I couldn’t agree more with EVERY single one of these points.

I’m glad you didn’t go on that wine making course!
