If they don’t get it, don’t try so hard to change them or even convince them. Go your way and mind your own business.
Till when? Till you think you are done with growth. But, there is always room to grow. We can always be more human—a better version of ourselves.
Let me share with you how to start/execute your growth experiments.
a) List of companies who are your direct & indirect competitors. Also, other inspiring companies who are might be relevant in your field, but they are doing completely different.
b) Create a Feedly board and add those companies as a sources
c) Pick their latest marketing tactics, announcements, or messages as an inspiration.
d) Put those ideas on 3 different buckets. Which one we try in a week, month and year!
e) Keep doing this continuously
So many options, so many chances for everyone in this modern world. Apps are mostly free or very cheap. YouTube & IG contents are all free. Any questions can be answered by a “simple Google search.”
Literally anything is doable. I can’t believe if you don’t wake up every morning full of hope, energy and motivation. Life is great.
We visited today Pismo Beach. It is a cute beach town. As you guys know I love baseball hats. I was checking one of the local shops. I saw “Not L.A, Not The Bay” hat. Instead of saying “ Pismo Beach” they created a story to share. Also something unique and cool way to say where is Pismo Beach. It’s 3 hours to L.A and 3 hours to the Bay Area.
It made me to think so many ways to describe what we are doing, selling and sharing in our daily lives.
Somedays, we put our hearts on our works, somedays our minds.
I believe they are both essentials. I wish we can pull or push depends on the situation. But, they all know their places based on their needs. So, live your life without regret, even if you messed up big time. At the end of the day, you are yourself with your pros and cons. Love your heart & mind.
Let’s say you are walking on the street and heard a voice and checked your account whose that person? Why you did that? Because of this, something familiar. Either voice or phrase. Or maybe be something else.
We love around familiar voices. It’s comfortable. It’s safe. Even we are far from our loved ones. We still feel good if we hear their voice on the phone or audio media.
We are bigger than one!
We have different layers. One size doesn’t fit all.
One identity, culture should not define us!
If you want to feel original, be around with other originals. There is no room for fakers. Be honest and share with others who you really are. More you feel original, more you feel free!
I started to read Haruki Murakami’s short stories. They are absolutely insane.
A) I have read three stories so far, and all of them are based in Tokyo. Most of the streets or neighborhoods are so familiar to me. Either we lived in the same place, or he has same taste as mine for hanging out cool places in Tokyo:)
B) He is so devoted to writing. Since age 33 (he is 72 years old now), he runs almost every day for 5/6 km and writes around 10 pages. I love the commitment.
So honoring his writings and lifestyle, I’m starting a challenge for the next 30 days:
Run or Walk a minimum of 1 mile per day
Write a poem in Turkish.
Haruki Murakami writes in Japanese. His English is good enough to translate some of his favorite writers Raymond Carver’s (Raymond is also one of my favorite short story writers) writing to Japanese.
I always wanted to write Poems in Turkish. Let’s see how it works! (Maybe one of you guys translate my Turkish poems into English)
Please ask me on July 1st what happened to my writings. I’m planning to share them publicly, either ebook or pdf, in mid-July.
Let’s start to challenge! If you want to join my challenge, reply to this post.
