Hey Founders...
Now is important. There is nothing left to do. It is happening already.
To live is to become. The rain falls to sprout the seeds up and get harvest time ready. Life is beautiful when we decide to become our truest selves - when we choose to let go of control and surrender to the Universe. Nothing is more beautiful than the rebirth of dreams, aspirations, desires, connections, relationships, and even ideas.
What we think, we become.
What we see, we receive.
What we feel, we act.
What we know, we discern.
What we create, we make and build into something unique for others to use daily.
Mother nature is always working and angels are always traveling.
The path to knowledge resides in our inner mind and how we use our intellect.
Kindness is not stupidity and selflessness is not weakness.
Gratitude is key to having the right attitude to operate from any altitude in life.
Remember this - we are all dots in this whole world of connected individuals, thriving in what we call our life. Each person plays a HUGE part in the evolution of mankind. Everyone can and will be successful when we choose to authentically work together as a unique DREAM TEAM for a better world. Everyone has a role to play. Anybody needs somebody. Somebody can be anybody. Each one can find one and teach one. Mentorship should be an inclination of mind for anyone interested in entrepreneurship as a life project. Be grateful for people in your lives, share your experiences with them, express sincere unconditional love for their interests and their passions, go the mile every once or twice in your mile - you can do more and better than two times around your VISION AND THEIRS. Collaborate indeed and have no fear in partnerships. GO THE DISTANCE. Make them valued for having a moment of your time. BE THEIR INSPIRATION ZONE. Seriously. BE DRIVEN TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN THEIR LIVES.
What's a startup vision without a leader?
IT'S A HOBBY. It could become a better vocational skill or a small business - if you'd just create a unique system and develop a business model for scalability.
I've learned and chosen to lead myself first.
It makes me a better exemplary leader.
There is no time to be a BOSS. It's all about leadership and followership.
LEARNING IS A TWO-WAY STREET. We are all students constantly gaining information on the go and constructively influencing others or being influenced by the knowledge bank we build through conversations and communication platforms.
I'm so not worried about failing forward when I do not have a clue of what I am doing.
I just go with my gut feeling and turn on the light switch within.
MAGIC.
Creating Startup Story has been amazing and interesting. Developing it has been pretty tough, rough, inspirational, romanticized, motivational, spiritually enhancing, and even characterized into workable structures based on divisions.

Building the enterprise is evolving and constantly changing with stops here, a pause there, a revamp here, a tweak here, a burnout or two, a quarrel or twenty more, a reconciliation after every contructive halt or I am not doing this anymore - or wait - aha - that's it. We can work this way or at best we can choose to understand everyone's problem within the collective and create a default solution based on each team player's IQ.
You gotta be prepared to create your own company.
You gotta be sincere to create the ideal company of your dream.
You gotta be ready to include the right person to fit the right role in your dream company.
You gotta give incentives and offer others the opportunity to win with you and be more than prepared to win with them as well.
Make it a "we" affair. Be in love with what you work on, whom you work with, and what you are cocreating as a dream team.
I understand, that everyone has a tolerance level and some temperence.
That's a given.
Nevertheless - take charge of only what you can control and leave the rest for the Universe.
Let yourself flow from within - become your own light and be the lighthouse for others.
Give unconditional love in abundance. YES, BE THAT FOOL IN LOVE.
Commit to your VISION - as laser-sharp-focused - YOU KNOW.
STAY REAL TO YOU AND TAKE GREAT INTEREST IN OTHERS.
CONENTRATE! TAKE ACTIONS. ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME.
Give it your all or nothing at all.
GO THE DISTANCE.
FOLLOW THE SUN RAYS. FIND THE SUNFLOWERS.
A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND ENLIGHTENMENT ARE IN SIGHT.
SHINE NOW. It's your season to shine more brightly than ever before.
Go on now. IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE.
I celebrate you founders. Together we will light up a better world for others to SHINE.
