Hi there π
How are you doing? On our side, things are going well. We decided to challenge ourselves to move forward in our careers, so we decided to launch one product per month. It's quite challenging but our word for 2023 is: action. Last year we stayed in our heads thinking too much, this year we decided to just take action and see what happens, who knows?
And you, what is your word of the year?
