Good afternoon, it’s been wonderful seeing a master at work this year, with an ability to pivot to the very different (and weird) world of Covid. Thanks for being in ‘our’ corner – that’s all your followers. Have a great Christmas.
This is an amazing list Michael. It’s been fabulous being a part of Team 17 and now also Write that Book Masterclass. I’m sure your number 1 is the birth of your grandchild. Thank you, Christine and Vanessa for all your support and encouragement.
You are such an inspirational person, full of energy and you always lift everyone’s spirits. I have loved being part of HTBB and WTB masterclass (both of them!) and you have boosted so many people through this difficult year. Thank you, Christine, Vanessa and of course, the main man behind the Lense!
What a year! What great achievements! Your energy is infectious. HTBB, WTB and Team 17 have honestly changed my life and made a horrible year much more enjoyable and fun. I love the support and motivation you bring to everything. I certainly would never have published my book without your encouragement. Thank you.
