    The most important 'F' we rarely discuss

    MINDSET 
    I'll go straight to it: MJ mentioned in his first book there are 3 Fs - family, fitness, freedom. We hardly talk about family here, even though I might argue it's probably the most important. Since today is Valentine's Day I wanted to share something I was building for fun. Essentially it's...

    Don't mix family with business. Is it worth it or not?

    PEOPLE 
    You know what they say: "Never mix family with business or friends". There are obviously two sides of the coin here. On one side, if you look at the richest muslim families, they're all about mixing family business together. Especially if you look into the very wealthy muslim families, they...

    To all the dad’s out there…

    PEOPLE 
    A relationship with my Dad hasn’t been on track since I can remember. He has always supported me, fed me, did everything he could for the entire family. He’s 57 now, and I’m 29. We haven’t talked like a father and son for a long time. I feel a certain discomfort in sharing even the smallest...

    If you had only one year left to live, would you want to be doing what you're doing right now?

    MINDSET 
    I've had my foot on the brakes for some time. Not where I want to be in my life in any area at the moment. This thought popped into my head this morning while I was engaging in a treasonous choice I've been trying to cut out of my life (smoking, btw). Clearly, not trying hard enough because...

    Family has no trust in my journey. What should I tell them?

    PEOPLE

    Drown Out the Noise, and Focus (First Things First)

    MINDSET 
    Drown Out the Noise, and Focus (First Things First) Maybe it took me a pandemic. This window of slowing down has crystalized a lot of things, and re-prioritized things. I have often preached to others the value of Steven Covey’s concept of putting First Things First. Prioritizing the things...

    Is a Slowlaner environment dragging you down? Has your personal environment changed?

    SLOWLANE 
    Of course it's no excuse, but.... In my "real" environment there is nobody who is interested in self-employment and entrepreneurship.... Also nobody is completely against it. But there is simply no interest... Slowlaners who are happy and satisfied. Great people and my friends. No problem...
