Welcome to my journey!

There will be always a disagreement between different people. And this is fundamental to us. We see the things differently; we see the priority differently and so on. How can we shift from the things we disagree to the things that are the most important to us? This is a core question in the art of decision making. Many people ask me how to proceed when a big argument comes up? And I don’t like this question so much, because you should have already seen where the discussion is leading to. You should have already discussed the minor disagreement and shift the discussions on the things you, your partner, your co-worker or your business partner want to do. If you end up with a big conflict, it is a little too late to shift the focus. In this stage, you need to focus on damage control and compromises. Sometimes it is not possible and then you need to decide if you want to separate or you will need to negotiate a different relationship.

  I see many people who try to post daily on LinkedIn to be noticed. In reality, this is not important. Important is what message and fuzz you do to be noticed. Don’t be boring on your LinkedIn wall. Show up in those media and really make a difference.

  This month is challenging for me, lack of regular workout due to injury. But now that my recovery is almost at its end. I feel optimistic about my future and my sport activities. The moral of the story is sometimes you need to persevere in the bad times to be able to enjoy the good times.

  I have a friend who wants to leave the company she works for. And the reason is that the environment becomes boring and some of the best team members left for a different company. Sometimes, this is the right decision. So the management needs to provide initiative for the people who stay to redefine the work environment by doing so to attract fresh new potential to the company.

  There is no better way to generate a lack of motivation in your employees than to show them there is no more progress to grow. Companies don’t realize this. They care about the bottom line. The irony is that if they don’t care a lot more about their employees, the bottom line will suffer in the long term.

  I see some companies which try to push team-building activities that no one cares about. Whose fault it is? The employees who are not interested in what the management decided it was interested in them or the management who didn’t care enough to make a survey for a possible fun activities which employees like to do?   This is when you learn the true meaning of a corporate culture.

  I am a huge fan of group exercises; it gives me a feeling of being part of something and motivates me to continue. Especially when I am doing HIIT workouts. But sometimes doing something alone is equally important. You need to know what your personality is and instead of changing yourself and you leverage that. If you are oriented more towards people, go to more group activities otherwise, get yourself a personal trainer and go alone.  

 Corporate rebranding takes time. It is carefully calibrated and represents the new directions of the company. Unless it is Twitter. Then the change can happen in a matter of a week. The domain x.com pointed yesterday to a page with one character “X”. Today it redirects to the twitter domain and soon we might see the dead of the bird and the birth of the symbol “X”. This change will be followed carefully and we can all learn from the mistakes Elon Musk will do during this transition. He already is very famous with the mistakes he did during his first weeks in the company. Can the company survive such a transformation is another open question? There are already some competitors like Mastodon and Instagram very own Threads. But the vision of Elon Musk is to turn this app more like WeChat, the Chinese mega app that combines many features. The issue with such a combination of too many businesses and too many regulations might play a crucial role in the downfall of the company. Many tim...

  Quick check on his blog site and you can see that he has 2.3 million backlinks. This means that 2.3 million sites refer to him with a link. So, there are 2.3 million chances more that people will see his site and get to know who Seth is. How he did that? He takes part in many podcasts and constantly markets himself. And that is the power of networking. If you believe in “if you build it they will come” attitude, you are at a tremendous disadvantage. How tremendous? If you want to compete with Seth, you are in 2.3 million disadvantages.  

 When you feel you don’t have time, batch the activities you want to do to save time. This is true for meetings and for working and resting. Sometimes you can do activities that you were delaying during your rest time.
