No matter what type of business we are running or what goals we chase - we all face apparently insurmountable difficulties - as for example
building a user base for your app although there is no interaction yet,
having to postpone some to dos although they are all crucial and diligent,
finding investors without having finished that prototype yet
or hiring the great but still affordable talents that help you to get done all that work

The Dutch bicycle manufacturer VanMoof had such a problem as well:
They sell almost 90 percent of its bikes online.
But as they shipped the custom made bikes to customers, it found that they were often arriving severely damaged.
The damage reports were a major problem for the company because the street bikes that it manufactures are at the high-end of the market… But even with the best brand and great marketing you CANNOT WIN, if the products is delivered to the customer in bad shape or even in pieces…
But then the company came up with a genius solution - dropping shipping damage by over 70 percent!
Printing a graphic of a flatscreen television on the side of the packaging box - making shippers think that they were transporting flatscreen televisions.

THE STONES ARE BACK! (Except for June, RIP June; would that you could have lived until Life & Death so I wouldn’t have had to yeet you back to the Netherworld. Beloved Wife and Mother. World’s Most Obnoxious Ghost.)
This is the farthest I’ve ever gotten with a legacy play (she said, on gen 2 💀) and I’m so ridiculously excited to finally get to play these sims again oh my gOD
