Develpreneur: Become a Better Developer and Entrepreneur

We start an interview with Jason Skeesick and learn about the spirit of the puppy. However, that is the tip of the iceberg. He has an incredible story and leads a mastermind group and a business focused on mindset. That is where we spend most of our time as we delve into what makes us tick. Likewise, we find out where our strengths lie. Spirit Of The Puppy? I found Jason's mindset description of the spirit of the puppy very suitable. It is very different from his other trait, the military mindset. Nevertheless, Jason has found a way to marry those traits into a prescription for his success. He learned how to use what he has and what he needs as a roadmap for his business. Now, he takes us through his story and how we can use it to find and leverage our strengths. The secret sauce is passion. We each have that in the right situation. We just need to find out what works best for us. That will be the path that keeps us excited and driven even when times are tough. That is the way we persevere and find success as well as happiness.

We continue the discussion with Vic Manzo and explore how you can leverage your high-energy times to improve productivity and get more done. Each of us has a pattern that fits our natural rhythm of rest and work. For example, this pattern makes us night owls or early risers. In any case, we will be most productive when we embrace the work patterns that are best suited to our rhythm. Check out this site for more on chronotypes: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/chronotypes Set Your Schedule To Improve Productivity The discussion leans on our ability to adjust our schedule to improve productivity. However, not all of us have the freedom Dr. Vic has to make those changes. Or do we? In the modern world of remote work and flexible schedules, we have more opportunities than ever before. Thus, we can push the limits of our schedule as needed to reach goals as he has. However, we will need to be patient and allow for time for those changes to "burn in," just as he discusses.

We start a new interview with Victor Manzo and look at detecting and beating burnout. He is a chiropractor that turned his lessons and struggles into a mindset and coaching business. While he is still happy to help you adjust your spine, he looks more at holistic approaches and helps us see where we need to make changes.  Detecting And Beating Burnout The challenge with detecting and beating burnout is that they are intertwined. It is far harder to fix the results of burnout after it has manifested. Instead, the goal is to see it coming and adjust your course before it settles in. We discuss many ways that we can see that stress and burnout build, as well as ways to adjust our schedule and focus to get back on track.

Part two of our interview with Geert aka "G" goes into how he helps companies go from an idea to a product and automation. We talk about how to leverage technology and automation. However, you first must define and refine your processes. This step is critical for a product to become a business instead of a form of "one-hit wonder." Leverage Technology and Automation Technology has always been about finding ways to take what we can do as an individual and scale that out to reach higher heights. The modern world of computers and the Internet is no different. Thus, we can review our business processes that are limited by our human traits and leverage technology to scale those out. We can reach more customers, deliver products faster, and so many other critical business activities. About Geert Geert (aka “G”) made some radical jumps in his career to finally discover his passion to support business owners and management teams with business growth. After university, where he graduated in law, he worked as a notary candidate. Three and a half years later, G followed his passion for innovation, quit his job, and started to work for a publishing firm. After 10 years of holding different positions in innovation, he made another jump to follow his passion once again and started his life as an entrepreneur. The personal development journey he embarked upon in 2008 was the root cause of his finally making that second jump and laid the foundation for his executive strategy work. He created a startup and got involved in the startup ecosystem as a mentor, trainer, and coach. More and more business owners and leaders asked for support with their business growth and presentation skills. That has led him to now, as a business and high-performance strategist, support business owners and management teams in different countries and from a wide range of industries to grow their personal leadership, team, and company, so that they eventually gain more freedom.

Geert prefers to go by "G" and I am happy to call him that. He is a high-performance strategist with the entrepreneur mindset. Our discussion takes us through his many leaps that had risks but allowed him to embrace rewards as well. While G has gone in many directions with his business opportunities, there is a drive and mentality that we see and lessons that helped him succeed as his journey progressed. What Is The Entrepreneur Mindset? There are no words to give the complete definition of the entrepreneur mindset. However, we see plenty of examples of taking risks (even when pushed) and facing them head-on. There are times G could have stepped back and avoided risk but he did not. Those choices to embrace his situation and make the best of it is what created the man we see in this interview. There is a master lesson in facing fears and embracing where you are mixed into his story.  About Geert Geert (aka “G”) made some radical jumps in his career to finally discover his passion to support business owners and management teams with business growth.
