    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.

    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.

  • wealth 💰 = financial freedom

    wealth = financial freedom

    Yesterday I was discussing what wealth 💰 meant to me personally. Wealth is an important and interesting concept. Even useful day to day. It gives guidance 🔜 and offers me a sense of freedom.

    Wealth to me is my level of financial freedom 🆓. I can actually calculate it and reduce it to a simple number 🔢.

    my wealth formula:  liquid financial reserves / cost of lifestyle that makes me happy = financial wealth in months or years

    Eg: 100.000 € savings/5000€ monthly cost = 20 months. Wealth of 20 months.

    It shows that both parts of the equation are variables. Happiness 🐬 is a given.

    Be happy with less or more, earn or save less or more. All have an immediate impact on my amount of wealth, i.e. financial freedom.

    The same is true for small businesses. And financial freedom can be a basis for more innovation, risk taking, embracing change, creativity,…

    Do you know your wealth? Personally and as a business?

  • 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.
