Don’t Be Scared of a Post to Fail

This is a topic I keep thinking about. I’m yet to fully grasp what it means.We don’t like to be manipulated. It often happens — when I’m on X or other social platforms,I feel like the Sales Bros are always trying to be manipulative. A lot of the strategies behind Persuasion and Manipulation are similar.They are similar to what they do —but we don’t like to be sold to. Yet, it becomes more complicated when we find out someone manipulated us to buy.We feel icky.That’s not nice. So how is…

From Ownership to Stewardship How often have I walked through the world thinking that it all was mine? My things belong to me. It already starts with the young children. They have a hard time sharing their toys. It’s really difficult for them to share. Job says:“God gives. God takes away. Praise the Lord.” For a long time, I didn’t understand how he could say something like that. When I started to work on the Present Provider Concept, I started thinking about the foundation. Why am I trying…

When we often talk about authenticity, we often have different understandings of what that actually means. Over the last year, I have seen a trend come up. The trend has me worried. Authenticity is understood as showing all your emotion, being real in the moment. This does not build trust. It does not show a good manner. Every day has its ups and downs. Yet we don’t need to start with or share all that. There is another way to show your authenticity —that actually creates more trust and is…

Hey Reader, I can’t hear it anymore. Going viral has started to become a red flag for me. Everybody is waiting to go viral.Yet it’s not worth that much. What happens when you go viral?

You’ll have to deal with: Many less comments More noise People who just want to get your attention If you’re not…

Hey Reader, When we’re just starting our business, it feels like there is so much to do. We have an endless to-do list. When it comes down to the actual parts of our business, there are only three parts:Product, Promotion & People. The Product is what you offer, that people need and are willing to pay for. The Promotion is getting people to know you and getting the right kind of people interested. Then there are People. People are on two sides. Either clients getting something or leaders…

It doesn’t matter what I do. I start out well balanced. With my priorities defined. Over time I tend to lose it and dive too deep. I get caught by the Hustle Trap. With time I self-protect better and I don’t burn out as much as I used to. Somehow I know what not to do and then still fall for it. I’m so excited to do the work that I skip breaks that I should take. I sometimes end up thinking the amount I work is a badge of honor. This is the problem. It’s like the frog in the pot. He doesn’t…
