Sharing what you feel
It’s absolutely important to share what you feel.
With a therapist.
With a friend.
With the person who will not judge you, rather simply understand.
When we don’t share what we feel, we suppress our emotions.
Thereby making ourselves feel that we don’t deserve to be heard or seen.
Speaking out what you feel matters. Otherwise you may just keep feeling what you speak.
3 things I am not very fond of
- When people treat someone less powerful than them with disrespect.
- When people complain
- When they try to prove themselves the best, while undermining others.
At the end of the day, you will eventually end up making more money than you had ever thought. However, if your attitude towards life and people remains thankless, it is only going to cost you more than it does, to anybody else.

As kids…
As kids, we were smarter than adults.
Then why do we become broken adults and lose everything that made us a kid?
Perhaps to be liked by others. Perhaps to not be joked.
However, the best adults are the ones that do not forget that they are kids first, and adults next.
What’s better?
Bootstrapped or funded venture?
Startup or a corporate job?
Outdoor sports or indoor gym?
What’s better? And how do we define better?
By asking yourself the right questions:
What do you want? Which one aligns the most with your who you are? Which one leaves you with the most energy?
Better is a construct in our own head. The best part about “better” is, we choose it for our own selves.
What to do when energy gets drained
Some urgent pressing
Client work
Someone assigned you an urgent task
Life happens. Almost every day. Thereby, interfering in our productivity. And our energy levels.
The way then, to increase our productivity, is to do the things that energise you. For me it is meditating, working out, spending time with my family, playing tennis, reading books.
Every day I do all of this religiously, thereby, leaving myself with very little to lose energy on.
To be energetic, it starts with filling yourself up with activities that make you energetic in the first place.
How we grow as a team
We don’t have goals. That is the reason we achieve a lot of goals we didn’t set.
What we do, instead, is the following:
1. Follow a process.
2. Stay true to it. Through our offsites and our happy and not so happy times.
3. Have fun, while maintaining discipline.
Milestones are a natural outcome, if you make process your natural input.

My fun purchases
1. LED ear cleaner
2. Mosquito racquet
3. Plot 4 game with my son
No “productivity” tools, just some fun things, that make life with family and without mosquitoes, a whole lot better!
How we roll out changes in the team
Since ours is a team that started from scratch and is now growing, here is how we implement organisation-wide changes:
- Start with a small group.
- Gather feedback.
- Experiment on bigger group
Repeat.
Small things are easy, and easily detectable. Just like the smallest of habits – which indeed drive our biggest results!
