The No BS Newsflash! ???

Hi!

We are now well into 2024!?

First of all, how is everyone getting on??

Have you dived in head first ready to conquer everything 2024 has to offer? ??

Or

Have you taken your time getting into the swing of things? ??

As usual, the Brady's have taken the first approach and gone in all guns blazing.?

It wouldn't be us if it was calm all the time! ??

Whilst Brady Snr has had her head buried in self-assessments she has also been meeting with many of our wonderful clients. making sure they continue to have visibility and can talk any business plans for 2024 through with us.?

Brady Jnr has been focusing on a refresh for her clients, making sure they have any changes to their social media strategy planned and implemented, whilst also making sure all profiles are fresh and up to date.?

In between all of this, we have been attending different networking events such as BITA . Networking is a key part of our business plan and we love socialising and catching up with other businesses in the area.?

Next week is all about expansion for us...what does that mean? ??

Lots of new and exciting updates coming up but we can't shout about them just yet! But we are bursting to tell you everything.

Can I really do it before January?

The simple answer is YES!!

What am I talking about?

Self-assessments of course ??

This time of year is where businesses owners are tearing their hair out trying to find lost or crumpled up bank statements and accountants are sat rolling their eyes nagging you to get your s*** sorted.

The reality is you don’t actually need to leave it until January to get it sorted and filed.

Okay that 31st January is the deadline, but why work up until the wire when you don’t have to?

Unless you don’t plan for it…

If you really wanted to help yourself and your accountant out why not start in May?

If you want to take it a step even further why not do this instead…

At the end of each month download your bank statements

Highlight your income and your expenses

Keep them in a folder

Send it to your accountant as soon as the financial year ends

How amazing would it be to be that organised?!

Please don’t be that last minute.com person…it really isn’t worth it.

I hate to sound like a broken record but...

I really can't stress enough how much short-form video matters.?

I know it is easier said than done when I do it and I have super duper Paul Astley to work with, but in reality, it doesn't make it any easier!

However, instead of preaching at you for the next 100 odd words I think the best thing to do is to give you some tips to get you started.?

• It's all in the hook - No not the thing Captain Hook sports. It is more like a fishing hook. You need to grab the attention of the person you want to by showing something that is enticing or valuable to them in the first few seconds of your video.?
• Test your transitions - You don't have long so get creative, experiment with transitions and have fun with it. No way are you going to be an expert at first but practice does make perfect.?
• Find your Rhythm - With music or sounds being a key part of a reel the sound makes up a large part of your short-form video. More than 80% of people listen to videos with the sound on.?
• Be Authentic - Don't go off and do something unhinged or whacky if it just isn't you or your brand. If you can make a trend work then do if not and you have your own path then go for that too!?

With all this being said, give it a go, and create a 15-30-second long reel. Hey, you don't even have to post it but just try it!?

I know what you are thinking...

"I need to Elevey my business!"
