Apologies for tweeting about European Land so much yesterday, but this article was a significant moment for us. For more than 3.5 years we have suffered enormously and this has mostly gone under the radar in the

2/ The Times article is the first recognition of the Reubens involvement in the cladding scandal. From the time we discovered we had ACM, European Land has refused to contribute a single penny towards the remediation. Even after their own intrusive survey showed that the missing
3/ fire breaks and flammable insulation they installed were AGAINST regulations, they still refused to contribute to fix their mistakes.
4/ To make things worse, their aggressive behaviour meant they issued S20 notices against leaseholders and started billing us for millions from as early as 2018 (two years before any remediation works had even started). They then instructed their lawyers to take actions against
5/ against leaseholders and started proceedings against us if payments of £40,000-60,000 were not made within months. The stress and misery this caused us we will never forget or forgive.
6/ Even after the ACM government fund was announced, they instructed their lawyers to write to us and say they would continue to collect monies regardless and that we were not entitled to any refunds or interest. Only though intervention by MHCLG did they back track
7/ As of today they have collected £7.5m from leaseholders and none of this money has been returned to us despite this being a condition of both the ACM and BSF grants and the managing agent confirming we would be refunded.
8/ European Land have donated £2.5m to the conservatives and £80m to Oxford University since Grenfell, yet since won’t pay a penny towards our now £20.7m remediation costs. They expect tax payers and leaseholder to bail them out despite the Reubens being worth £16B.
9/ Meanwhile leaseholders have haemorrhaged money – in addition to the £7.5m in remediation costs, we have paid over £1m in waking watch and alarms, and our insurance premiums have soared from £130k to £670k this year. All industries profiteering from this scandal.
10/ So thank you to @thetimes for finally picking up on this story. And as always were are indebted to Will and Ritu @ukcag for their support. We will not stop campaigning with everyone until all homes are safe #EndOurCladdingScandal

Introducing "The Balloon Effect"

Many businesses & creators have experienced a similar pattern of success.

From @MrBeastYT and @MorningBrew to @oatly and @Rovio.

Let's break down what "The Balloon Effect" is and examples of it in real life.

Keep reading 👇


1/ What is "The Balloon Effect"?

It is a particular pattern of growth.

It is not Instagram's growth trajectory.

It is not
https://t.co/5axsTUKek6's growth trajectory.

"The Balloon Effect" is defined by several years of hard work & grit complemented by slow, linear growth.

2/ And then one day, one month, or one quarter...everything changes.

A business hits a tipping point and its trajectory shifts entirely.

Gradual growth turns to exponential growth & your brand and your size explode.

Like a step function.

3/ Now, you're probably wondering.

Why is it called "The Balloon Effect"?

Because filling/popping a water balloon follows the exact pattern I just described (and so many businesses experience).

Long unsexy slog 👉 Exponential tipping point.

4/ Initially, you turn on the faucet & water takes up space in the empty balloon.

Through effort you open the faucet, yet the results are unexciting.

But it's what must be done for water (or growth) to happen at all.

It's not sexy, but it's necessary.
