Stop Doubting Yourself: Learn How to Be a Risk Taker

Visualize right now that you are a risk taker. Imagine that all of your fears have vanished, and there is nothing and no one to hold you back from doing the things that you have always wanted to do. What would your life be like? Would you be a successful businessman or businesswoman? Would you be living in another country? Or would you be a doctor instead of what you are doing now? Just let your imagination free.

In my last post, I talked about the importance of investing in yourself and your future. I am convinced that those people who understand the importance of being in the state of continuous learning, are going to be the ones that can attract the most success in life. The approach is extremely simple. You learn something new, and then you apply it. You learn another thing, and you apply that as well. But unfortunately, most people stop actively learning the day when they don’t have to anymore – after their graduation.

The Importance of Investing in Yourself: You Must Give to Get

In this post, I want to talk about the importance of investing in yourself. I will talk about the financial aspects, but I will also talk about the energy and the time that you need to give in order to get something in return.

I always say that choosing a lifestyle filled with personal development is one of the best decisions one can make. This kind of lifestyle guarantees that we keep growing mentally, become physically healthier, build better relationships, reach more fulfillment and even happiness. Who wouldn’t want to live such a life? There really are no downsides to that, except those that people choose to create for themselves. The things that self-development is all about – passion, dedication and hard work, are the very same things that push people away from bettering themselves.

Don’t Give Up! Overcoming Obstacles and Making Your Dreams a Reality

Waking up and being excited about the day is one of the best feelings that one can have, especially when it happens on a regular basis. This indicates that whatever we are doing, it is in alignment with who we really are. It means that we are on the right path towards achieving our goals.

Unfortunately though, seeing highly motivated people is a rare occurrence. The majority of us like to play it safe. This means having stability in life and staying within the comfort zone. This also means doing what everyone else is doing and what we have been taught to do by the older generations. “Get a good education. This will earn you a prestigious job and all of the other benefits that you need. Also, buy a house and a car.” We all have heard these or similar words before.

Want to Change the World? Change Yourself First – The Rest Will Follow

We, humans, are extremely fascinating. On the one hand, we may believe that a single person cannot make a difference in the world. We think that a single person recycling materials, using less water, eating less meat or making a small donation, will not solve anything. But on the other hand, history has shown that it is always the individual that does incredible things. One person can lead thousands or even millions of people. Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Bill Gates and a countless amount of others are all examples of how an individual can make a huge difference in the world.

Unfortunately though, if you look more deeply into human behavior, it is obvious that we prefer controlling and changing others, as opposed to changing ourselves. We can dictate, but we rarely listen. So does this really create the changes that we so much we need in the world?

My Top 10 Strong Work Ethic Rules for a Solo Entrepreneur

Having an outstanding work ethic while being a solo entrepreneur is crucial. Unlike in a company, where the work ethic will be forced upon you, as a solo entrepreneur, you must create one for yourself. Having no strong work ethic means troubles with having success. Having no strong work ethic also means that other solo entrepreneurs – your competitors, those that do have an ethic, will always be one step ahead of you.

Keep in mind that your position is unique. You are not a large corporation where decisions are made slow, but the money still flows. In order to make a living, you will have to hustle and act fast. It’s scary in a way, but it’s also exciting – as an entrepreneur, you get to keep all the “shekels” you make. No sharing with anyone else (excluding the tax office)!
