Today marks 36 chapters of my journey! Feeling so grateful for real life—the moments that don’t always make the highlight reel on social media.

Here’s to embracing every experience and looking forward to writing the rest of my story with joy and excitement. Cheers to many more adventures!

It’s and I couldn’t end the day without sharing. This story brings me great joy.

🦁 was my first ever client when I started my career 12 years ago in Italy. Francesco was in the region Puglia and I was in Sicily. We, at Office Network, were supporting local businesses remotely way before it was the norm.

Francesco then owned a franchised hair salon and today he owns his very own elegant barber shop where customer experience and quality services are priority. To see his own custom brand and product line today makes me very happy. The transformation is amazing.

, Thank you for being an amazing client. You deserve your success and much more.

Why do I love local small businesses?

Because I get to experience the real people behind the business. Learn the real stories and lives of people in the community I live in. It’s all REAL.

Today I met Mike, owner of . We talked for a bit and I’m so impressed with the impact he has on the community. The drinks are science based and taste delicious. The environment is perfect for intellectual and fun conversation. Music was so pleasant. They have music, trivia and game nights and much more…. Check them out.

🤔 How does Instagram Sort the Followers List in 2024?

Instagram consistently fine-tunes its algorithm to elevate the user experience. As of 2024, the platform has incorporated a fusion of artificial intelligence and intricate variables to determine your followers’ list order.

This is how Instagram followers’ order algorithm works:

Instagram’s algorithm arranges your followers’ list based on three key factors. These factors include recent high levels of interaction, the relevance of followers, and the nature of your relationships and connections.

Your ‘Followers’ list displays accounts that engage with you extensively through likes, comments, or direct messages.

When reviewing the followers’ list of other users, the accounts that follow you and the user in question and actively engage with the profiles are at the top. These accounts are actively interacting and connected.

The algorithm arranges their followers alphabetically for Instagram accounts with 200 followers or fewer. This arrangement uses the users’ complete profile names instead of their usernames.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Embracing the beauty of new beginnings as we welcome the arrival of spring! 🌼 With the changing of seasons comes the promise of new life, new growth, and endless possibilities.

Let's seize this moment to renew our spirits, cultivate positivity, and nurture our dreams. May this season bring you abundant blessings, vibrant energy, and all the joys of new beginnings.

Here's to embracing the freshness of each day and the endless potential it holds!

Just know that for many, you are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈 you are blessing. You matter.

The best thing about working with local businesses and nonprofits is that a majority of the time the conversation is genuinely about giving back and doing something for someone else, may it be family or community.

🍋 The connection to something real is what gives us at Connex the motivation to be there for you.

Ikig*i (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese concept that combines the terms iki, meaning “alive” or “life,” and g*i, meaning “benefit” or “worth.” When combined, these terms mean that which gives your life worth, meaning, or purpose. Ikig*i is similar to the French term “raison d’etre” or “reason for being.”

Connecting the dots to your local business & nonprofit is our Ikig*i . By supporting your path to business ownership we help create the largest network of locally owned businesses and organizations globally, creating micro economies that support a real community of people because life is meant to be lived and enjoyed together.

What’s your Ikig*i?
