Whatever your definition of wealth is, you are right.
Your definition of wealth is yours alone 👉🏼 and will (probably) result in important life choices in your path towards being wealthy.

For some wealth means having more/lots of money 💰.

In this case your best options are (non exhaustive list):

  • become an investment banker
  • measure how much you get paid per minute spent working. Then ruthlessly maximize payment per minute and minutes worked.
  • marry money
  • study the science and language of money (from ROI to bitcoin over to taxation and retirement plans)
  • … maximize €, $, … whatever you do.

For others it is having more options 🚁.

In this case I would say (non exhaustive list):

  • it means being grateful for what you already have 🙏🏻.
    And by reading this it is fair to say you are already wealthy because you have access to the internet while reading this, are not out there looking for food, have a roof over your head, can choose to watch TV or spend time with our family,…
  • it means working towards having even more options in your life 🚁🚁🚁.
    Personal freedom 🚁. To able to do What you want and believe is right, When you want, Where you want – while making the world a better place.
    note: And this includes how different spheres of your life can be combined (work, family, friends, personal development,…)

Whatever your definition is. Embrace your choices and go for it 🚀.

Peace out. ✌🏼

 

What change 🦋 are you trying to make?

by Leave a Comment

change

As Seth said:  Marketing makes change happen. If there is no change, your marketing is not working.

So the key question becomes: what are we trying to change?
And not what we are trying to market. That follows almost automatically.

If we want to create change, we are applying marketing.

Marketing starts with focus 🎯 on what we want to change δ … Ask yourself this question and the rest can come later.

When we use visual tools 🛠 instead of only words ␃ things become simpler 🖲.

Solutions are around the corner. People see 👀 possibilities in a new light.

Have you used visual tools to solve complex problems lately?

Kintsugi 🏺 – the art of being uniquely flawed

Kintsugi is a powerful concept. For all of us and our businesses.

Wikipedia: Kintsugi (“golden joinery”),  (“golden repair”), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold.

As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

It embraces the imperfect. It values the use and wear of an object over time.

Question ❓What if we apply it to businesses or ourselves?

…re-define Failure…think pivot and learning

…Context matters…broken (to be repaired) vs trash (end of life)

…Our mistakes and history can result in “golden scars” or joints that shine ✨

and…an imperfect reality can be more valuable than a perfect dream…

live fear-less and stop worrying about others´ ideas of perfection.

Small scars with a big impact 💥….

 

The Art of sprinting…🏃‍♀️

How fast can you go 🏎?

Sprinting 🏃‍♀️- for an hour, a week or a month—develops a new perspective 👀.

It helps us understand our upper limit, establishing a performance setting that reminds us of what’s possible.

Sprint with intent, in a particular direction…🔝. Not sprinting randomly, erratically, after shiny objects.

Sprinting now and then is a useful way to learn that we can make an even bigger impact. No one can sprint all the time. By its nature, that’s not sprinting.
