Happy 5th birthday The Events Raccoon Ltd 🎉🎈🙌🏻🥂 🎂 🦝

What a 5 years it’s been!!

I’ve learnt so much & still have a hell of a lot to learn but my biggest 5 takeaways from the last 5 years I’d like to share with you are;

❤️ When you chose to work with a small business, a small business owner does the biggest happy dance you’ve ever seen - True Story.

🙏🏼 Learn as much as you can and share everything you know. Many people will do what you do, no one will do it they way you do it.

😘 Kindness costs nothing. There will always be people that will get through life driven by what they can get from you. It is not your job to judge them, simply to make sure you do not become them.

🌎 You can plan for us much as possible but every now & again, someone will throw a global pandemic in your way just to make sure you are keeping it real.

💃🏼 If you’re not enjoying the road trip, you’re in the wrong car. Love. Laugh. Learn. Evolve. Breath.

Thank you to EVERYONE who has been a part of the last 5 years, whether you have worked for us, been a client of ours, a partner of ours, a friend or family member, a kind stranger who has picked us up when on the floor in a million pieces, a mentor, a coach or just one of those legendary people that takes the time to smile back at someone who smiled at you.
