Reflecting and Learning With the Lion King

I’ve been spending time doing a lot of the same things recently, being isolated and all of that. From cooking up a storm, reading, exercising, to endless video calls. But mostly I’ve been watching a lot of movies.

Why? Well, I’ve always been a bit of a movie buff but with a lot more time inside, I’m finding myself not only watching the films on my list that I never get round to, but also introducing my partner to the many classics she’s never watched herself.

This is when I had a lightbulb moment. Each of the movies we were watching were giving me some inspired one-liners, making me feel that bit more motivated and I figured I should turn all that movie-watching into something productive.

If you must know, I had this moment watching the live-action remake of The Lion King last night.

This particular one got me thinking of what I’ve been doing with my time and I figured I should dedicate an afternoon looking back on what our best performing blogs were. A great time to reflect on our past learnings, and put them to good use.

Just like many things in life, for example when we approach a marketing strategy, it’s best to start with looking at what’s worked and not worked from past activities. By reflecting on what’s worked and not worked, we can steer our future content to focus on the more engaging topics our readers want.

I also thought it’s an opportunity to share our top blog posts with you. The articles below that have made this list are the ones our readers have found to be the most useful for their business.
