What do you need?
HOT!Don't ask me how this works and it's just my personal perception. But once you make a decision in your head of how you want to be perceived, people change their behaviour towards you. Of course you also have to act it out. If it's only in your head, it won't help. The biggest change I have seen...- Nicoknowsbest

Figuring Out Newsletters
EXECUTIONThis is good feedback. I don't have experience with building email newsletters, so I can purely talk from a customers perspective. Until I subscribed from every single newsletter recently, I was on a mailing list that sent an email every Monday evening. The content was good and I thought the...- Nicoknowsbest

What do you need?
HOT!"I am enough. Because I say I am." - @Andy Black You told me this line a few times already, but I didn't really get it until a few days ago. For years, I have been struggling with the following two topics, only to realise that the only person I needed to ask for answers was myself...- Nicoknowsbest

[Progress] Graphic Designer Going Freelance & Fastlane
EXECUTIONThese lines stang me a bit to be honest. First, I felt confused that you even brought this up. I know you pushed a button because of the way I felt after reading it. I didn't really understand what was going on, so I decided to let this rest in my mind for a few days and observe. And observing...- Nicoknowsbest

A message to a friend who's overwhelmed and worried
MINDSETI learned this the hard way. It's like going for a dive without a plan and when your oxygen is up, you rush to the surface to gulp for air only to realize that you landed in some cave with little fresh air. I now make sure to divide my journey into milestones. Yes, it is a marathon. But you...- Nicoknowsbest

“Give and Take” by Adam Grant
BOOKSAmen to that! I thought the problem was me... "You give too much." "You are too soft." "You are not made for business." These are only a few things I heard. I started believing them, especially after what happened previously. Like it did for you Andy, this book confirmed what we were...- Nicoknowsbest

EXECUTIONSome things that dawned on me over the last days: "If you stop being a student of entrepreneurship, you start being an entrepreneur." This is taken from Dan Norris new book "This is the Answer." and resonated a lot. I put myself in a position where I switched off my brain and looked for answers...- Nicoknowsbest

HOT!I recently reread "The 7 Day Startup" by Dan Norris, which I found excellent for people who are just starting out. I also just listened to his new book "This is the Answer" and a lot of the contents resonated with my recent experiences.- Nicoknowsbest

“Give and Take” by Adam Grant
BOOKSI read it upon your suggestion. I had people call me too soft and not suited for the harsh world of business, because I was giving too much. It went so far that I even thought to myself: "Dude, maybe you really don't have what it takes." This book changed everything though. Because it...- Nicoknowsbest

EXECUTIONUpdate Yep, it's been a while. It was one hell of a ride over the last 1,5 years. I learned a few lessons the hard way and now I am back to square one, it seems. But with loads of experiences in your pocket, you are never back at square one, even if it looks like it. Thanks for your comment...- Nicoknowsbest

Confused and don't know what to do
HOT! MINDSETGreat start! Now... You could put that on a vision board and look at it every morning, to get you in the right mood.
