Biz Book Club “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook”

January 5th, 2014 No Comments

Practically every day, it seems, a new social media platform is born. And you must wonder, just like I do, which ones actually matter. If you read any of my book reviews like “Crush it”, “The Thank You Economy”, you probably noticed that I have a slight “crush” on Gary Vaynerchuk. No, not in a romantic way, but more professional.

Biz book club “We are all weird”

October 6th, 2011 No Comments

Growing up, I never really felt like I belonged. Standing on the sidelines, never part of the popular crowd, I quickly learned that it is not my cup of tea to follow the masses, to conform. I was, and am weird…in my own sense. No wonder “We are all weird” by Seth Godin resonated with me so much. read more

Insist to exist

September 2nd, 2011 No Comments

Persistence is a valuable characteristic. In business or personal life, if you are serious about reaching a goal, no matter what obstacles come your way, you must keep at it, remember the target, and when it seems impossible, find the energy and confidence to keep moving trying. read more
