Why I am reflecting on entrepreneurship today? It’s easy to find ourselves reflecting on entrepreneurship these days. It seems to be in trend. Everybody wants to be one and everyone seems to see themselves as one. I am wondering whether it is the sense of freedom that seems to come with portraited on social media. This morning I woke up immersed in the luscious nature of BC. I rejoiced myself…

Execution is 99% of the game

1% is about ideas. Execution is 99% of the game. Many times we hear people coming up with brilliant ideas. Somehow it seems they don’t understand that execution is 99% of the game. Ideas vs Execution I laugh when I hear somebody lowering their voice when sharing an idea.

Find everything from within!

The days passed and we are over six months into the COVID era. We needed to find answers and surprisingly we managed to find everything from within! Everything had changed.

The thrill to discover something new and exciting makes me tick. Adventure makes me…

The superpower of words

Do you believe in the superpower of words? I started to understand it better after I met Fabi. She was born in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. She was ambitious and had a burning desire to get out of poverty. At the age of fourteen, she started working at the factory where she used to deliver sandwiches to the workers after school.

That allowed her to save up enough money to attend university and…

Should I stay or should I go out during Covid?

I need to admit, I didn’t leave much my house since COVID hit. Why? I am not sure. Maybe because last year I was too much in hospitals and I couldn’t even imagine going back there.
