Aww thank YOU Allison! You were one of my very first clients back in the beginning. I appreciate every client buy it was the beginning ones that helped boost my confidence to keep going. So thank you and have a wonderful new year ✨️
How hilarious to see me listed here! I was reading along happy to see a new post from you and there I was. Surprise! I was swelling with pride for you as I was reading about all of your accomplishments this year.
You deserve every accolade, every heart, every piece of attention! I was just telling my husband over dinner tonight the story of your dog Substack getting a paid subscription with just the foundation. I said "That's how incredible she is. She can get a paid subscriber on her reputation alone."
Ahhhh thank you! It's kind of a funny story that we don't see the awesomeness in ourselves. FYI, I'm very picky about who I praise. I don't just throw it around willy-nilly LOL. You deserve it 110%. I'm putting the finishing touches on my big announcement that includes your graphic. I know it feels like a long time but January was always the plan. I'll let you know when it's live so you can see it in action. It's gonna blow your top off 🤣.
Congrats Kristi on your milestone. And I am so glad that you’re here to have given me a kick up the backside to get my Substack going. Your advice has been invaluable, especially about NOT using the word ‘flog’ for my blog name 🤣. Looking forward to more of your advice, because crikey! I need it! C x
Congratulations on a wonderful year! You've accomplished so much, and I'm thrilled for you. Here's to a new year filled with further triumphs. And, I'd like my car in volcanic orange with white top and side mirrors, manual transmission, heated seats and steering wheel. Moonroof would be nice but not a dealbreaker if it doesn't come with. I'm planning on being home on February 30, so delivery on that day would be perfect! Thank you so much for your generosity. You have amazing energy. xo
I'm sitting in a parking lot laughing out loud over your car specs 🤣🤣 Yours will be express delivery!
Thanks Nan, I'm looking forward to meeting you next month so we can plan how to take over the world, one orange car at a time. Substack branding colors 😁
I'm ready! Plotting is right up my alley! My first Mini Cooper was that color combo. It looked like an egg over easy. I had a vanity plate that read "Yolkel" See you soon! xo
Thank you, Kristi! It's been a pleasure working with you this past year and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you unstacking my Substack. You are the best!
I was gonna add that to my original comment-that I hoped you were taking time for yourself as well! So glad to hear that the nature and yoga are part of your routine! Self-care first!
Kristi, you are such an inspiration. I always think about what you’ve built when I reflect on my goals. Thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge with us!
Awww thank you so much Jessica! I think it's just proof that any/all ideas are worth exploring and you never know which ones will hit! I hope YOU hit all your goals 😊
Well, fluck me, Kristi! What a Flucking Year! Well done! I have to say, you're a flucking legend and the whole "let's do the flucking thing on a whim" theme of 2024 is a cracker. I rolled with my Flucking Flourishing idea in September and I'm flucking stoked I listened to my intuition. When I have more than €10 in my bank account I will be a paid subscriber to you. Pinky promise.
I’d love a workshop on anything that teaches me more ways to add value to my Substack offerings…also alternatives to standard paid subscriptions and creative ways to set it up with Substack’s (e.g., you can’t rename anything except the founding level)…also how to set up and promote group offerings.
Elizabeth this is really good food for thought. Although "paid strategy" is not my wheelhouse I'll make a note of this and see if I can at least come up with some basic advice.
Thanks, Kristi. I’d just love to know if any other successful sub stackers have done something different from just “turning on” the paid option. My situation is a bit different in that my offerings are almost a ministry more than a business, so defining “ROI” Return on Investment is not the same. But I’m trying to figure out how to pitch my message to corporate and sales professionals who SHOULD embrace the writing of heartspoken notes as a way to set themselves apart from their competitors.
Have you considered booking time with Sarah Fay? She specializes in customizing paid strategies. I just don't think I'm the right person to do a workshop about strategy as I don't really have one myself. I'm more of a backend worker bee.

You are a font of knowledge Kristi, keep doing what you do 😀
Thank you Vicki! No plans to quit now 😊
Thanks for your help this year, Kristi! I love your energy, always. We’re lucky to have you unstacking for us all!

Shelby, you need to start a business as a one-woman cheerleadering team. You are SO kind and so encouraging ❤️ 💕 💖
I feel so awkward accepting high praise, I don't know why. But you my dear, are a wonderful person to have in my corner 😊

Hahahaa I remember how blown that top was 😁😁 I scrolled past it in my Canva the other day and it made me smile.
Yes please let me know when it goes live!!

🤣🤣 Cerina, I'll never forget our debate over flogging lol!! That was the best 😁
I loved helping you get ready to roll and I'm enjoying your newsletter so far!

Boo yah! I feel like 2025 is going to be a very good year for many of us. Thank you for your part in making it so. ✨
Likewise Zach!! I loved collaborating with you on dogs 😁
Thank you, Kristi! It's been a pleasure working with you this past year and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you unstacking my Substack. You are the best!
Likewise Sue! I appreciate you as well and here's to a fabulous 2025! I'll respond to your email later today 😊
And I would soooo love meticulously organised Google Files ...
Hahaha that's a non-negotiable for me! There's no way I could keep track 😁
How can I be so excited about the possibility of something called 'Dashboard Day'? 😂
Yet here I am, wondering if I can afford to subscribe to yet another Substack when I'm so poor at making time for the ones I already have. 🙄
You don't have to pay to subscribe to come to my workshops!! Just stay free subscribed to find out when I'm offering them 😊
You have boundless energy and creativity! I’m amazed at how much content you pump out a week between your 3 Stacks! Plus your private clients!
Thanks Marlo... you should see me offline...zero energy for anything but nature walks with a dog and some yoga 🤣
I do get people'd out on Substack but its still gratifying work.
I was gonna add that to my original comment-that I hoped you were taking time for yourself as well! So glad to hear that the nature and yoga are part of your routine! Self-care first!

I'm glad you rolled with it as well. You never know where it can lead! I hope Substack becomes for you what Medium never could 😁
Awesome, well done! Looking forward to seeing what you achieve in the coming year x

Great post to finish a great year.
You and I are on a roll.
Keep up the fabulous work.
