Productivity hacks killed my creativity
Productivity hacks killed my creativity this past 2-3 months ... and nearly cost me my business. "Don't create, re-purpose" was probably written by someone who either doesn't like to write OR someone who doesn't like to create. Because I can't imagine a real creator telling you the solution to your problem is to stop being yourself. Creators need to create Writers need to write When you have a gift or a passion, if you don't take care of it and make it fructify, you'll burn out slowly and...
Do you know what you were made for?
You were made for greatness, no less This probably sounds like an advertisement for the new Nike trainers, promising you the softest land when you run so that you can finally reach your full potential, telling you that it wasn’t your fault you couldn’t run that 10K all this time, that you simply had the wrong shoes, but thankfully, now is your time and you have no excuses left. No excuse whatsoever. Behind all these great advertising, lies something we all long for: reaching our full...
1 + 1 + 1, a LinkedIn™ formula 👀
Ever fallen into the trap of sharing more than one message in a few seconds? If so, this is for you! In their book Made To Stick, brothers Dan and Chip Heath introduced me to the "Curse of knowledge". Ever heard of it? Or worst, ever fallen into the trap? I know I have. The Curse (dramatic much? đź‘€) refers to knowing so much about your field, that you forget what it was like to not know as much as you do now. Seems not so bad, right? Two problems: #1 When you need to communicate, your words...
"The hardest part is to start" ... what you haven't been told
"The hardest part is to start" "Once you get going you'll realize it wasn't such a big deal" .... So you started, and realized it absolutely isn't true. The hard part was to start, but the hard parts will continue to follow. The only true thing about starting your own biz, is that the more hard things you do, the easier they become. Not because you've now figured it all out, but because you've accepted it as a part of the deal. You've accepted that to grow, it must suck at first. That if you...
The double identity of LinkedIn đź‘€
Let's talk about LinkedIn. Isn't it a fascinating, yet complex platform? It's both a professional AND a social platform. But did you ever stop to think about what this means? Let me tell you right now: not everyone has the same intentions. 👉Some people are hanging around just like they would IG, X, FB 👉While others are clearly here to network and sell. No biggie right? Well, yes, until you realize you've gathered the wrong crowd around you ... It happens to all of us, and happened to me...
Before you get started on LinkedIn
Finding your compass and anchor Mauricio Thomsen, Pexels Copyright free Image Before jumping your head first, let me ask you a question: Do you know your 2 core values? "Hum, what does that have to do with LinkedIn?" Everything. No set values = No direction. From your values, the rest will flow. Your purpose. Your voice. Your style. Your community. Your values act both as compass 🧠and anchor ⚓️. When you have values dear to your heart, you have a compass. When you are acting on them, you’ve...
