    Friends & partners: the foundation of success
    June 2018.
    Feels like we are on a roll(ercoaster) 🎢 at Genesis Technologies. We are bubbling 🍾 with energy and buzzing with activity.
    We have had our tough moments. Our setbacks. Crisis. We made our mistakes.
    But we also have had some wins 🏁. Scored a few decisive goals . On occasion hit a bullseye 🎯.
    The art of winning. Like a team.
    And now, now it seems like a rocket 🚀 taking off. Not just us, but also our loyal partners. It feels like a snowball getting bigger and catching speed.
    Like riding a friendly dragon 🐉.
    Energizing. Exciting. Empowering.
    And all because together we make simple 🔵 what once was complex 🍝. Hide what is ugly. Promote co-creating instead of competition.
    We are happy campers ⛺️ at Genesis Technologies. And I simply thought you should know.
    Be well, be you.

  • like riding a bicycle 🚲

    Running a business is like riding a bicycle 🚲. You learn by doing, not by reading the manual.

    Hands on the steering wheel.

    Look forward.

    Pedal firmly and with strength.

    Shift gears when needed.

    And above all: you quickly learn that speed gives you stability.

  • Partner up 🤝

    You are an entrepreneur or work at a small business and determined to make an impact💥. That requires doing things you – and maybe nobody – has ever done before. R-I-S-K. Good. Expose yourself.

    But you do not want to be the lone rider, the kid on the playground without friends,… You can survive alone,  but you cannot grow 🚀 or be truly successful all on your own.

    Partner up 🤝. Determine who you are, why you do what you do and find like-minded people. Don´t take anyone. Be picky but partner up.

    You will have to work on the partnership. But when you do it will be worth it for all involved. Also your customers.

    PS: and if it does not work out – be straight and fold. No drama.

  • F%ck Patience

    images-1

    The problem with patience as a concept is that it’s passive 💤 – it’s a concept of tolerance. Literally. Here’s the definition:

    pa·tience
    ˈpāSHəns/
    noun
    1. 1.
    the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

    What we need is passion 🌹, drive 🏎 and willpower 💪🏻.

    At least if you want to have an impact with your business.

    Peace ✌🏼 out.

  • success is about your attitude towards failure 🏹

    One thing I don´t deal in is “if I had only…” to talk about what could have been.

    Things that could have been do not matter. It is vapourware. The only dreams that can become real are the ones out there in the future. The ones you try to achieve.

    As a small business looking for a BIG impact I know that “if I had only…” is a loosing mindset.

    the 💪🏻winning mindset is:

    I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can´t accept not trying. (M. Jordan🏀)
    Do or do not, there is no try. (Master Yoda 🌟)

    The world rewards people who get stuff done. As Jobs said it: “True artists ship”…

    So launch yourself out of bed like a rocket 🚀 and act, do, make, build.
