Okay, so it’s not your Birthday, it’s mine… And I’m going to be 26, which Ben, at Sussex Music kindly reminded me, is actually closer to 52, than it is to zero. Thanks muppet!

It also reminded me of when I was a kid… stay with me here. So when I was little, during the month of December, I had a pretty similar conversation with almost everyone I ran into. It went a bit like this:

RandomKidFriend: “Happy Christmas Ads”
LittleAds: “Happy Christmas to you too”

Come birthday time, around 3 weeks later, the conversations would go like this:

OnlyFriend: “Happy Birthday Ads”
StupidAds: “Happy Birthday to you too”

I would at this point, be reminded of my stupidity and told it’s not their Birthday it’s mine. Well, I’m 26 now, so I can make my own rules up, so today I’m giving you a present. It’s nothing major, but it is kinda cool.

I’ve learned a lot over the last few years, so while I was on my little retreat in Tenerife late last year, I wrote down all the things I wish I knew when I started out in business. I called it, ‘The Little Book of Glory’.

It’s not completely finished yet, it needs page numbers and stuff (Thanks Tim). I suspect you could skimread it in about 90 seconds. There’s some cool things in there, just 30 little tricks I’ve picked up over the years. Enjoy.

I do want to say thank you. A lot of you put up with my crazy ideas some of the time, which I hope are sometimes good. I’m grateful that I have a wicked client list, most of which I’d go out for beers with (except Gareth – he’s rubbish). You make my job fun, without you lot I’d be horribly bored, utterly broke and probably really good at Call of Duty.

Anyway, enjoy The Little Book of Glory.
