Pasión, imprescindible para una start up | Juan Pitarch En pocos días he leído un par de post que tienen en común una misma idea: Pasión. Uno de ellos es el de Carlos Guerrero, que nos habla de la Pasión por el Capital Riesgo en su fantástico blog (rezuma pasión por los cuatro costados). El otro se titula Pasión: lo que toda start up necesita, pero de lo que nunca habla. Su autor, Gabriel Parisi, nos dice que desde hace un tiempo crear un start up esta de moda, y que se ha convertido en la versión moderna de querer ser banquero de inversión de mediados los años 2.000. Porque la característica que necesita cualquier emprendedor es Pasión, con mayúsculas. Cuando el emprendedor está buscando un equipo con el que iniciar su aventura, un cofundador, un ingeniero, necesita convencerlos de que su proyecto es el mejor lugar donde vivir su trabajo. Conseguir clientes para un nuevo producto es algo muy duro, incluso cuando el producto es gratuito pueden existir costes de cambio al usar un nuevo producto que desanimen al potencial comprador.

20 Things to Stop Letting People Do to You post written by: Marc Chernoff Email Be with those who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you. This past Sunday, while we were enjoying an afternoon barbeque at our friend Sara’s house, her 16-year-old foster child, Cody, received a visit from his biological mother – a woman who has been in and out of prison and rehab her whole life. Cody’s mother was extremely rough around the edges and almost immediately started bringing up hurtful memories from the past, and then told him, “I wish I could go back in time and raise you again, to change who you are and give you a better upbringing.” Cody’s response impressed me on so many levels. So whenever you’re dealing with a difficult or hostile person, remember how Cody handled himself. It’s time to… Stop letting people drag you into needless arguments. – Never waste your time trying to explain yourself to people who have proven that they are committed to misunderstanding you. The floor is yours… What would you add to the list?
13 Reasons Why You Will Never Be Successful Do you know why the odds of becoming a huge success is so low? Because it’s insanely tough. But at the same time, the changes you can make in your life to exponentially increase the odds are actually very simple. Simple, but not easy. It’s all in your mind. 1. Accept full responsibility for every single thing that happens in your life. Take responsibility. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. ~ William Ernest Henley 2. Understand the cost of being a procrastinator. I don’t care what your reason for procrastinating is. Start off by making the decision to declare war on your procrastination devil. Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy. ~ Wayne Gretzky 3. Perfection does not exist. And stop waiting for the ideal moment or the ideal plan. Your dreams will never come to fruition if you are preparing and waiting around. Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Follow your passion and watch your money grow Do you believe you are doing what you love and can’t understand why the money is not flowing? It’s of course very fashionable to talk about ‘being paid for your passion,’ or ‘do what you love and the money will follow…’ Does that mean if money is not flowing you are not doing what you love or following your passions? Maybe! But then again maybe not too! What I have found is that most people are so unsure of what their gifts, strengths and passions are that they guess. They assume and they follow what others may have said or what they think others are doing that they like the sound of. The biggest block here is that people don’t claim or even acknowledge their gifts and strengths as their own. Each time you ignore your gifts and strengths and don’t acknowledge them then you are viewing yourself from the energy of lack as you are not seeing the wholeness of YOU! How do you think they stand in the way of your true abundance? Sarupa Shah

4 Ways to Quiet the Negative Voice Inside You Email There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. Why do we think negatively when we know better? Because thinking negatively, expecting “the worst,” seeing the downside of positive situations, and even downright expecting failure, all convey a kind of backwards-thinking, emotional insurance policy. Our desire to want to be right is another common reason we subconsciously choose negative thinking. Of course, none of this is what we truly want or need in our lives. 1. Life simply isn’t black or white – 100% of this or 100% of that – all or nothing. Rather than the rainstorm slowing down my commute home from work, instead “it wasted my whole evening and ruined my night!” Since 99.9% of all situations in life are less than perfect, black and white thinking tends to make us focus on the negative – the drama, the failures, and the worst case scenarios. 2. “…he’s extremely busy at work.” You get the get the idea. 3.
30 Vital Things Your Future Self Will Thank You For Once upon a time, we were our past selves. We went along either with future intentions in mind or simply drifting with the tide. Did we ever think that we would have ended up where we are? Few people I know knew they would be exactly where they are today. So how can we plan for our futures when they are so uncertain? The answer is not to look at what we want or where we want to be in the future but rather, who we want to be. After all, in life, the only person we can depend on for certain is ourselves. Who you are in the future depends on what you do today. Get out paper and a pencil and lets change your life! 1. We spend so much time investing in relationships and this is a good thing. Going through this checklist step-by-step and doing each step thoroughly will set you up to move forward in life with focused energy. 2. I am not talking about taking on an identity such as one outlined by a career. Knowing who the real you is gives you stability in life. 3. 4. 5. Make a change. 6. 7. 8. 9.
