If you hold your breath too much, you will be out of breath. If you hold your thoughts with you too long, you will end up being miserable and tired.

So never hold it anything too long. Just share it. Let other parties know what you feeling. It can be written notes or phone calls. Start the conversation. Don’t expect others to take the initiative. If it bothers you, don’t hold it

Michael Altshuler says, “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”

Are you the pilot? Or, Are you the passenger?

Do you know where are you heading to?

Who forced you to take this trip?

Do you think to settle in when you arrive at your destination or that is the only a temporary trip?

Life is figuring out these and many more questions while you are flying one plane to another one.

The best way to excel any skills is: Teaching

It doesn’t matter how good you are. Just start to share what you already know with others.

Start with saying “ I’m also new in this field but so far I have learned this much, If you interest in learning with me, yeah let’s have a call or video chat”. You are setting expectations not high. Even if you are an expert, still a lot of room to grow and learn within the field. Never get satisfied with what do you have. You will surprise how much you will gain knowledge by sharing and teaching others.

These days, I don’t want to stop working. The time I am not with my computer, still thinking day and night about work. It doesn’t give any anxiety. Although it gives me joy.

Some of you might think this is not healthy, working that much. I respect your opinion. But, for me, work is not working. Work is my way to accomplish new things I want to achieve. No one is forcing me.

Work & Life balance sounds amazing. The biggest advocate of this “balance” idea is either people who accomplished a lot. Biggest achievers are saying because they think “I wish I spent more time with other things” But, If they did it, I don’t think so they would able to get shit done that many things.

Today, I completed 1 hour “Doing Nothing” meditation. Literally, you sit down and close your eyes. And “Doing nothing”. Literally, nothing. No mantra, no breath, no focus, no background music.

All you do just sit down and let your mind go wherever wants to go. Yesterday, I did between 7:00 to 8 pm. It was very challenging. I never sit down in my life and closed my eyes doing nothing that long. After 10-15 minutes I said I’m done. But, I didn’t give up. In the middle of the meditation, I actually enjoyed and didn’t even remember how it ended.

Today morning, I did between 9:40-10:40 am. I think I’m going to do more earlier. Normally I get around 6:30-7 am during the weekdays. So, I need maybe get up 6 am to try to do it between 6-7 am.

This 60 days challenge started with one of my favorite guys in the world Naval Ravikant. I never met him in person but I introduced by my friend back in 2014 the time we were raising Angel Round. And, he passed to invest us 🙂 But, somehow I know him more than most of my close friends.

This week I had zoom meetings with people from various countries, some of which I have never been to like Switzerland and Russia. We rarely meet with our customers in person. Mostly our meetings happen through hangout links, zoom, or via email. Because our customers are very fast forward and agile like us, physical location really doesn’t matter. What matters most to them is how we are helping them.

Many of my meetings are internal ones as well. We have a pretty well-distributed team (Turkey, UK, Japan, USA, and Korea). I hope we can continue to expand the size of the team. 

Honestly, I don’t believe in location anymore. If you are committed to helping customers either you work in their timezone or solve their problems while they are sleeping:) 

Note: Having customers from 65+ countries I want to say “ I’m very grateful for what my team is accomplishing” They are the best.

When you feel, you feel it. That’s what I’m feeling nowadays. Things are finally working. Things I have been trying to figure out the last 7 years just started to bloom.

Don’t give up if you really believe what you are working is soooooo BIG! If you don’t believe it, just quit today. Don’t try to be mediocre. Aim to be BEST!

It takes time there is no short cut win. I’m not saying I’m winning big time. I just started to see results lately. Even seeing early results drive me more than ever

People are keep asking me where we should invest?

I’m not a professional investor. But, I love investing in people. Helping them to start something, Accelerate their growth with my expertise or connection. It’s kind of my way of giving back to society.

They don’t necessarily need to build a company or app. It can be anything. All I do motivate and inspire them. Because I get inspired by every day. If you ask me “What inspires you”? Honestly, I can get inspired by anything. Because I look at everything with an approach “What can I learn from this”. That’s why any cool design, great food, nice conversation, walking around the neighborhood, coffee cup, birds, stones, flowers, nicely onboarding to new software, water packaging, one sentence inside of the random book, food labels, and many more

That’s why my life goal “Get inspired to inspire others”

Find something working and convert as many clients as you can. Then find another feature is working and bundle with the current plan what clients signed up and bundle it with a new offering.

And repeat this cycle forever.

Honestly, you can connect anyone you want to. All you need to know the right people who will introduce you to the person you want to talk. Easy right:)?

It’s easy but you need to know “who knows who which level”. That’s the complex math and art problem.

The best way to connect with anyone is “Give”. Do your homework and list how much you will add value to that person if you have a chance to meet up.
