Our CEO, Andrew Markou, was recently asked what he would do if he could start his business again. Here's what he had to say... #BusinessesForSale #BusinessInsights #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessTips

It's been a journey filled with peaks and valleys..... Starting an entrepreneurial adventure with grand plans right before the pandemic of the century has made me grow as a person and taught me an incredible amount. How do you pivot your business model to finally become profitable, shortly after having to let go of 10 employees on short notice? How do you celebrate the year's best order just five days before realizing that a container from China will be delayed by a month? How do you gently explain at home that the weekend trip is canceled because we missed a setting on the website, causing 20% of all orders during our all-time high week to receive the wrong products? BUT, the fact that we have now delivered to over 95% of all postal codes in Sweden means that GLACIAL is present in almost every neighborhood. ✨ It's been fantastically fun but, as you can tell, insanely challenging. GLACIAL has now finally gained a more stable footing, and I am thrilled to welcome Petra Ringström Oxhamre as the incoming CEO this fall. My own responsibilities will change somewhat, but my 100% focus on making the world a better place by eliminating single-use water bottles remains. Welcome, Petra!

💡 Last night was pure MAGIC. 💡 I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Virgin Start Up event at Virgin HQ in London, and let me just say… WOW. Simon Squibb totally blew me away. His story is a MASTERCLASS in resilience. Despite facing so many challenges, he not only succeeded but is now on a mission to give back in the most incredible way. His new book, What’s Your Dream?, is a game-changer, and 100% of the proceeds go to HelpBnk to support people chasing their dreams. I love how generous simonsquibb is paying it forward. So inspirational. What really stuck with me was Simon’s advice on sales: 👉 Do they need you: do your research 👉 Do they like you : build the relationship Simple, right 🙌 Simon’s words hit so close to home because this is EXACTLY what I believe about business and life. We’re not here to “sell.” We’re here to connect, inspire, and make an impact. So, here’s my challenge for you today: What’s YOUR big idea? 💭 Drop it in the comments, grab a copy of Simon’s book to support a cause that’s changing lives, and remember, your dream is worth it. You are worth it. Don't stay stuck where you are now. Let’s keep dreaming BIG. ✨

Inspired by Cabrini: When Vision Outshines Doubt Just finished watching "Cabrini," and wow, did that movie leave me feeling empowered! Mother Cabrini's unwavering faith and audacious vision struck a deep chord. Here's a woman who dreamt of creating a haven for immigrants, a seemingly impossible task in the face of skepticism and limited resources. But Cabrini refused to be silenced by doubt. She held onto her vision with such fierce conviction, it became a beacon, attracting others who believed in the power of her dream. This resonated deeply with me. How often do we let fear or negativity hold us back from pursuing our own big ideas? Here's the truth: Revolutionary change rarely starts with a chorus of agreement. The most impactful visions often appear outlandish at first. But remember, even the mightiest oak sprouted from a tiny acorn. What's that audacious vision burning within you? Is it a creative project, a business idea, or a social cause close to your heart? Don't let the naysayers dim your light. Channel your inner Cabrini. Believe in the power of your vision, and take that courageous first step. Remember: Small actions lead to big changes. Start by taking a concrete step towards your goal, no matter how small. Find your tribe. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and fuel your fire. Faith is a powerful force. Keep the belief in your vision alive, even when faced with challenges. Let's be inspired by Mother Cabrini. Let's turn our audacious visions into reality, one courageous step at a time. Who else has been inspired by a seemingly impossible dream?
