Reflecting on Entrepreneurship

Why I am reflecting on entrepreneurship today? It’s easy to find ourselves reflecting on entrepreneurship these days. It seems to be in trend. Everybody wants to be one and everyone seems to see themselves as one. I am wondering whether it is the sense of freedom that seems to come with portraited on social media. This morning I woke up immersed in the luscious nature of BC. I rejoiced myself…

Execution is 99% of the game

Execution is 99% of the game

1% is about ideas. Execution is 99% of the game. Many times we hear people coming up with brilliant ideas. Somehow it seems they don’t understand that execution is 99% of the game. Ideas vs Execution I laugh when I hear somebody lowering their voice when sharing an idea. They truly believe to own the idea and they are fearful the rest of the world is waiting to snap it from them.  On the other…

Find everything from within!

Find everything from within!

The days passed and we are over six months into the COVID era. We needed to find answers and surprisingly we managed to find everything from within! Everything had changed. We as humans, to survive, we rapidly adapted. We are getting used to the new norms and a young generation of kids are learning it as the only reality they know.

COVID is like a coin with a “Creation side” and a “Devastation…

Adventure makes me Tick and Talk. Not TikTok!

Adventure makes me Tick and Talk. Not TikTok!

What makes you tick these days?  Adventure makes me Tick and talk

The nice days have finally shown up! I feel an itch for new adventures. Suddenly I long for the spontaneity of the days we would say: ” Let’s go somewhere for a couple of days” and half an hour later we would pack and off we be on our merry way. The thrill to discover something new and exciting makes me tick. Adventure makes me…

The superpower of words

The superpower of words

Do you believe in the superpower of words? I started to understand it better after I met Fabi. She was born in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. She was ambitious and had a burning desire to get out of poverty. At the age of fourteen, she started working at the factory where she used to deliver sandwiches to the workers after school.

Should I stay or should I go out during Covid?

Should I stay or should I go out during Covid?

I need to admit, I didn’t leave much my house since COVID hit. Why? I am not sure. Maybe because last year I was too much in hospitals and I couldn’t even imagine going back there. Maybe because my inner voice is telling me that. I believe the information on COVID is evolving as time pass. This is all new and what was true three months ago is not true today.
