It seems to me that we live in an era where “positive thinking” has become such a powerful trend that it’s impossible not to see such a message anywhere I look. Everyone seems to spread the word of how “your thoughts create your reality” or “positive thinking attracts positive things” that I can’t help it but feel stressed out most of the time I allow myself to get caught in this trap.
January seems to be the longest month of the year, not just for me but for most people I talked to about it. It intrigued me how and why a single month could be such a nuisance to so many, so I made an effort to understand why it is so for me in the first place.

Here we are again. Another year has started, and this is usually the time to set some goals for the coming year. Have you set
Why is meditation such an important part of contemporary business culture? It’s not just about releasing pressure. It’s about creating a mind that’s fit for the task – and bringing value to the way you do business.
I guess like most people you’ve set yourself some goals for this year and you will probably do the same for next year. Have you
A few months ago, I had a chat with a young entrepreneur who struggled to get his business off the ground. He’s been working on
if you decide to go it alone, you will need to become seriously analytical about your business. You also need to be ready for action, immediate action, no delay. It’s going to be like jumping into cold water, getting straight out again, write down the temperature and describing the general feeling and the result of the jump.
Did I really do the right thing? Why isn’t this working? If you feel like your business and life aren’t going to plan, then don’t let uncertainty get the better of you. Ask the right questions and you’ll find a solution.
Over the last 20 years, the idea of having to be happy has slowly become a real movement. It doesn’t matter in which area of
Starting a business is quite a task. There is so much to learn, to do and to take care of. Starting-up can be quite draining and leave you without any motivation or drive to keep going.
All first-time start-ups go through that process. If that is you, you’re certainly not alone. What if I would tell you that this doesn’t have to be like that? Starting-up can actually be really fun and very rewarding.
There is a lot said about people who reached 50 years of age. For one, you should have made it by now. You should have
You don’t have to be an under-achiever or unhappy with your work. But there comes a time in life when you start to get those niggling thoughts about a new challenge. How would you prepare to change your career for the better?
I know that most start-ups come to a point where they’re thinking about getting more people involved in the business. This could be as a
Have you ever wondered why some people are successful and others not? Why some are sometimes successful and at other times not?
Far from being an anachronism, the ‘job for life’ approach still has its appeal: working for one or two companies until retirement age and then living off a pension. But the ‘way of work’ has changed significantly in recent years in tandem with new generations of business minds. And whether starting out on our own or choosing the corporate lifestyle, there’s an entrepreneurial mind in us all.
I have been in the business of helping entrepreneurs for many years now and I think it is time to take a stand against a
That well-varnished expression ‘small steps lead to big improvements’ still rings true today. Since your first steps as a child, perhaps you’ve since climbed mountains, trekked across deserts…or started your own business. And all these actions begin with ‘motivation’.
You can’t touch it and you can’t see it. But – wow – can you feel it when you’ve got it! Motivation is that inner feeling – driven by raw energy – that inspires you to act or behave in a particular way. But where does it come from? How do you find it? And how do you make the most of it?
