It’s been years that I was really having a difficulty trying to fit evertyhing in an 8 hours schedule and try to keep my focus on the most important tasks or things that supposed to be a priority. It’s been really overwhelming, kept me behind and mostly disorganized and disoriented me from my #1 main goal: personal & business growth .
Clarity gives you power
One thing that I have learned the last 3 years – where I am more involved with personal and business development – is that you can do what you really want if and only if you know exactly what you want. CLARITY!
And the problem for me was that I hardly knew myself and what I really really wanted. As Tom Ford said: “Either you think you don’t know, or you think you do know, you are right either way.”
“Either you think you don’t know, or you think you do know, you are right either way.”

2 excuses that kept me stuck
Having an MBA in Corporate Planning , it was for years my number one excuse for not participating in seminars since I had the limiting belief that it will not give me any extra knowledge or value! So, so wrong! This mindset of arrogance and fear together kept me stuck for years and the only thing that has been left was an empty space, a void.
Although, I had my business which was not growing but rather being stable, I was blaming the crisis; a financial crisis during the years 2011-2017. Not really the best thing. On the contrary, a crisis may create opportunities. But my mindset was not in growth mode at that time. So it kept me stuck and gave me the excuse to be at least stable in order to survive during the crisis.
The funny thing was that my journals and my brain was full with ideas but always stayed in paper. Very sad also for my moral to see again and again the same things written in different chunks of time and not being completed ever.
The beginning of growth
Mindset …. this is a magic word from where everything begins and everything ends. Attitude is another word that is showing the way that you are dealing with things and situations. When I was hiring , I always believing and telling to our candidates that “….I can teach you everything about the products and the way that we are working, our policies, our strategy but I cannot teach you the attitude…the behavior towards our team, our clients, the smile in your face and the ability to cope with sudden or unforeseen situations , the willingness to excel and the habit of consistency.
All of the above can change and you can adopt a new mindset, a new attitude, new habits …But you will ask how is this possible? How can I change? Of course and it is possible. But there is an important presupposition: the willingness to change.
Everything begins with the decision to change, to explore better and in depth yourself, understand your motives, be clear about your values, your vision , you identity.
People don’t buy from you what you are doing, they buy from you WHY you are doing it .
