It’s Anna’s birthday! But she left us unsupervised. 😅🎂
Sundays with Anna | Newsletter #28
Hey hey,
It’s not Anna this time 👀
She’s off doing birthday things (cake, cuddles with her kids, probably rearranging her pantry because of her OCD.) 🤪
So we thought we’d borrow her keyboard for a second and bring you something a little different this Sunday.
If you’ve ever worked with Anna or followed her long enough, you know she’s got a way with words.
The kind of phrases that land so well, they stay stuck in your head for days.
So while she’s away, we thought we’d share our top 5 Anna-isms – aka the little phrases she throws around on calls, in DMs, and in our meetings that we now find ourselves repeating too! 👇
Anna-ism #1: “What’s the actual goal here?”
The OG clarity question.
Usually dropped mid-rant or overthinking spiral. Cuts through the noise every time.
Anna-ism #2: “You don’t need more apps. You need a better strategy.”
Harsh? Maybe. Helpful? Always.
Applies to business, life, and likely your skincare routine as well.
Anna-ism #3: “Done is better than perfect (especially when the kids are out).”
Anna’s reminder: Scrappy progress > perfect procrastination.
A crowd favourite from the early Global Bambino days.
Anna-ism #4: “We’re not building a pretty site. We’re building a profitable one.”
A whole thesis in one sentence.
There are moodboards, and then there are moneyboards.
Anna-ism #5: “It’s not ‘just a side hustle’ if you’re showing up like it’s your future.”
That quiet confidence energy.
Sometimes you need someone to say it like they mean it, and she always does.
We love her for all of this, and so much more.
And today, we’re raising a virtual glass (or an iced coffee) to celebrate the wonderful, quirky, fiercely loyal woman behind House of Cart.
Happy birthday, Anna! You’re one of a kind. 🥂
And yes, we turned her into a GIF, because why not? 😝
Got a favourite Anna-ism? Or something she’s said that made you laugh or snort?
Reply and tell us, we’re collecting them like baseball cards. 😂
Catch you next Sunday (with the birthday girl back in her rightful spot),
– The House of Cart Team 💕🎉
