Strength In Business

DISCERNMENT is of utmost importance in the age of Artificial Intelligence. AI is not consciousness. AI is non-emotional. AI was not created from the zero-point field. AI is a fantastic tool when used properly. AI is a master of pattern recognition. The prompts humans feed AI with create a huge database and infrastructure. Artificial Intelligence responds to beliefs and expectations, capitalizing o...

Silence. Depth. Patience. Sitting with one thought has become incredibly challenging in a world dominated by mindless notifications. We’ve put multitasking on a pedestal only to discover that there is no such thing as doing two things simultaneously. Switching between tasks quickly, juggling the realm of binary code without much thought, has led us down a path where the vast majority of people str...

The outer world is a mirror image of your inner world. Your thoughts create material things. Work on yourself, change your identity and beliefs, and observe the changes that occur in your external environment. We’ve heard these nuggets of wisdom many times before. They’re easy to grasp; however, if we’re honest with ourselves, it takes a lifetime to master them. One of the biggest challenges we fa...

The art of stacking skills is underpraised, under estimated, and unappreciated. In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is about to disrupt industries across the globe, we are well advised to keep our hands on the steering wheel while continuously growing our toolkit. An haute couture designer today, and an event manager tomorrow? An IT specialist working in a corporate job today, transitioni...

I started my journey as a creative writer three years ago , although I’ve written my first fiction story when I was seven years old. Over the past few decades, I’ve written a plethora of business papers, guides, articles, and blog posts; however, writing poems, stories, and wiz drips has re-ignited a flame in me I thought had vanished with my childhood dreams. Firing, balancing, and harmonizing th...

Consistency. Discipline. Perseverance. Pursuing mastery in business through tedious tasks is an unusual path. Repeating the fundamentals over and over again, tweaking, and adjusting, only to come back to the same “boring” tasks, is not everyone’s cup of tea. Fancy. Cool. Trendy. The icing on the cake, the quick win, lures the masses in. Starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur is overhyped...

F eeling lost, unappreciated, and worthless – these low-frequency, parasitic states spread like a disease. Associated with the doom and gloom around the mighty capabilities of artificial intelligence, which, according to XYZ, will replace human jobs and so forth, you have the perfect trap for the mind to go haywire. Deploying critical thinking, using discernment, staying calm, and protecting one’s...

Do you perceive change as painful? How do you tackle the process of transformation? Avoidance is a strategy, although, more likely than not, it will backfire. Facing the unknown head-on is another one. Embracing and dancing with uncertainty is a phenomenal skill worth acquiring. Frightening. Weird. Annoying. We use a plethora of words to describe the emotional turmoil we go through when we’re navi...

Running was never part of my game plan, although I’ve been an athlete all my life. After suffering major knee injuries in my teens and a dozen doctors (except one) suggesting surgery, I defied the odds: I didn’t go for surgery. I picked up scuba diving. I continued to strengthen my knees, muscles, and tendons. Last weekend I ran my first marathon. When I look back and go through my sports memorabi...

If you’re in the ‘minimize regrets’ business like I am, you understand the importance of deploying willpower and discipline to attain certain skills, experiences, and knowledge to reach your targets, goals, dreams, and more importantly, your life’s mission. Let’s face it: Fundamentals are boring. Therefore, most people focus on the fancy, trendy, cool stuff hyped up by media, so-called influencers...

Who and what determines whether you’re successful or an utter failure? Is this an outside job or just one of those things we outsourced due to convenience? Welcome to a marvelous simulation and a carefully designed maze perfectly decorated to make it hard to remember who you are and why you came. We are born into this world without a name, religion, belief system, or other labels, and yet, we’re a...

My journey on LinkedIn started well over a decade ago, and it’s been a smooth journey until a few months ago. The social network was an interesting medium for connecting with like-minded individuals from all walks of life while sharing business posts and my latest creative work. In September 2024, my account was suspended. It happened out of the blue, without notice or warning whatsoever. I publis...

We are bombarded left, right, and center with data and information so much that we forget who we are and, more importantly, our mission. What are your dreams and ambitions? What is it that you want to accomplish? Our thoughts get influenced and infiltrated, and we have forgotten how to tap into the quantum field to pull what we want from the metaphysical realm into this 3D reality quickly and effo...

Tips, tricks, and hacks … We are bombarded with them in business, sports, relationships, personal development, spirituality, and (insert) XYZ field. Some work, but most don’t. The question is: When are you consciously going to pull yourself out of this trap? If we look beyond the semantics of the word “hack” we end up with shortcuts, among other peculiar ingredients. We want to be successful, appr...

Building a business is a marathon. It requires devotion, commitment, and resilience. Mistakes, setbacks, and struggles are guaranteed. Success is not. Sacrificing everything, including your health and family, for a business idea is bad advice. I was exposed to the entrepreneurial realm since early childhood. I used to help my grandmother sell vegetables and flowers when I was 3-4 years old. Then s...

Preparation is a key ingredient in life. Albeit underestimated, this “task” for lack of a better word, causes division among human beings. While some see a waste of time in it, others would bet their existence on it. In a world where duality reigns, we like to split and separate ourselves from those with different perspectives. We judge and put things into boxes to enable us to navigate this 3D ma...

Conventional wisdom is almost always wrong. If you take a different route from where the masses are heading, chances are you’ll be on the right path. Your uniqueness makes you stand out if you accept the challenge and embrace the perks that come with it. Remember, you can’t borrow enthusiasm. If you live in a big city or travel to one and happen to take public transport, you’ll be mesmerized by th...

A couple of weeks ago I published my first fiction book. It’s been a magical adventure bar none. Although I’ve written several business books over the past two decades, creating the mystical and galactic pieces that are part of “Spiritual Harvest” has been a blast. What led me down this path? How is writing a fiction book different from publishing business-related insights? First things first. “ S...

Your product or service was rejected? Was the answer to your proposal a resonating “no”? How about the deal you’ve put your heart and soul into didn’t close as expected? And what about your date that didn’t even bother to show up? If you’re playing this human game on Earth right now, chances are that you’ve been rejected at least once thus far. I don’t want to spoil the enthusiasm, but I’m convinc...

I failed many times in the past and will continue to do so in the future. I’m addicted to failing fast, readjusting my approach, tweaking the strategy, and moving forward. Does this make you (if you do the same) or me a failure? NO! You must move out of the comfort zone bubble to grow and accomplish your dreams. The moment you do that, your rate of failure will increase exponentially. The trick is...

Test, iterate, and retest. Testing the variables, and refining a product or service through repeated adjustment cycles is in essence marketing and this is what people get wrong. I’ve been operating in this space for more than two decades now and whenever I’m asked what precise code will unlock the treasure trove, I humbly reply with: “We’ll need to test it.” There is no recipe for success to be re...

In the world of entrepreneurship, uncertainty prevails. The journey is chaotic, full of traps and pitfalls thus adding a special flavor to the adventure while shaping the individual accordingly. Embarking on this journey, putting on the solopreneur or small business owner hat, requires resilience and a strong willingness to learn. While increasing mental stamina, knowing how to juggle with numbers...

How many boxes can you juggle in life without burning out? Have you discovered the sweet spot that enables you to move swiftly and friction-free between your pots? Some boxes are more important than others. The core ones stay with us our whole lives whereas the seasonal ones will leave us at a certain stage aka cycle in life. The fundamental boxes are pretty much the same for all of us: health, lo...

Think big or be realistic which one is it going to be? Have big goals and hunt down your dreams or stay safe and expand your comfort zone step by step? What if the size of our thoughts really matters? We live in a world of duality and it’s up to each and every single one of us to connect with our innate intelligence to help us navigate through life. Some choose a growth mindset driven by constant...
