This week I had the opportunity to mentor a couple of future great entrepreneurs. They’ll do fine. They’re doing all the right steps. Including to ask lots of questions to people that have travelled the path they’re trying to walk. You know… that thing of learning of the mistakes of others so that you don’t do the same mistakes. Common sense. Very uncommon those days. There are even people out there that still believe that “they need to make the mistakes themselves to learn (well… I guess)”. Good for them. They will arrive very far. And very quickly to their destination. Which is… no where. ​ One of these entrepreneurs indicated that he had been saying that “I did not start it before because of my two little daughters”. ​ And remember… It’s all about mindset. ​ I precisely moved all-in because of my little son. ​ It all depends on how you look at things. ​ And you, what are you going to use as excuse for not starting something great… just today. ​ Happy Sunday.

With more deals, I’m becoming a better deal maker. This thing that may seem simple or easy to you is less usual than you think. Excellence is achieved by repetition, and improving through each...
Do you believe that Amazon could be built by Jeff Bezos doing 15$/hour tasks? I have this debate very often with entrepreneurs from all sorts of backgrounds. They believe that they need to do everything by themselves. If you want a business not to grow, or you want your business to get stuck or simply your health going to hell… do all by yourself. Schedule meetings, take minutes, actions, do follow ups, check the receipts, upload this into the accounting tool, etc. etc. etc. All by yourself....
I like saying “be gentle with yourself”. I see too many people being the worst critics of themselves. Never enough. Never done well. More, and more, and more. Don’t take me wrong. I’m a fun of self-motivation. I’m all-in in improving myself, in challenging myself. But how you do it matters. The words we speak have a direct and definite effect upon our thoughts. Thoughts create words, for words are the vehicles of ideas. Words also affect thoughts and help to condition if not to create...
