I think the best thing ever you can do yourself, talk to yourself. While you are doing self-talk: Be patient, understand your worries, and motive yourself.

Self-talk is healthy, I always do. I think my confidence in myself comes from my self-talk.

When you know the basic principles of building, launching, producing, or publishing. It is easy for you to keep doing this until the last day of the earth. If you never ever done it something I listed, you might think “Wow, How and Where can I start?

That’s alright. I always scared to start to the company (It took me 26 years to start my startup in Silicon Valley age of 26:). Later on, what I learned, the scary part is not the building a product or launching a new idea, It was paperwork, details, etc (still don’t like them anyway). Sometimes your mind was so busy with those unnecessary things so you could not move your finger.

Days are passing so fast, Like it or not. You still didn’t figure out what you want to do right?

Find something that you are enjoying. It is like something you don’t check your watch every 10-15 minutes. Something you feel you are in the flow. You are in the zone. Nothing takes it from there. I hope something also brings you wealth, fame, and friends. But, not need to chase it. All you are doing because you like that feeling.

Don’t carry the time with you. Time should carry YOU

You need to blend yourself with other cultures, values, and norms. Why?

Because you need others. When you are growing up mono-culture countries. You always think you are the best in everything. So, you don’t know anything except yourself. And thinking the rest of the world is against you. That’s why you have to protect your old values. (very ill thinking)

You can’t be the best everything. Blend yourself. You will surprise how amazing will be new recipes.

Oh yeah I know, you might be going to say “ No, I stopped comparing myself to others”. Still deep down, yes I can feel it “We are comparing”.

I don’t know this is might be not a bad thing at all. If you are still growing stage ( I think everyone will be growing stage all the time), it is healthy to have a benchmark to check out how you are doing among your peers.

Social media, unlimited career & life options (globalism), and our friends & family are putting us on rat race anyway. At least you should aware of what’s going on around you and pick who you want to compare yourself.

How do you live your life?

Just do something you really want to do. Period.

Start something or be part of something you can work for them or that person even if you don’t get paid. If they pay that’s amazing:)

Don’t expect from anyone. Always push forward yourself with your own dreams.

Don’t mix your dreams with others. Find mutual ones and live your life.

Whatever you are ignoring is not going away. You either solve it or expect the consequences.

If you can’t do it yourself, just talk with someone who at least knows what is going on with you. It helps a lot believe me!

You can’t change their decision. All you can do be the best version of yourself.

If they reject you, don’t take it personally. They don’t reject you. They reject what you are selling.

The number of employees is not a good indicator of how you are doing. More people are not necessary you are delivering more results or generating revenue. Don’t need to be proud of it. Most importantly you should remind yourself :

“Where should we optimize with existing members to hit our goals”?

I enjoy to read and listen life stories. No matter who they are. When I was young, loved to spending a time to reading encyclopedias. Problem is that we didn’t have any encyclopedia at home. Somehow my parents didn’t get it. So I was borrowing from our neighbors. That’s why I had on my limited time all I did reading random important people’s lives before they asked to return their encyclopedias back.

Thanks to Wikipedia, YouTube and other sources, now we can learn anything about anybody. Still I have same childish excitement when I check random things or reading bibliography.
