Special Series The Entrepreneur Alphabet | Episode 11 | K For knowledge
There’s a difference between thinking you know and knowing. I can hear your argument. I’m an entrepreneur, if I was listening to all people who told me I couldn’t do it, I would never have started. I need to trust my guts, I know some things feel right. Absolutely. Listening to your guts you should. Some things do feel right. But there’s a difference between following your intuitions and using data to make an informed decision to confirm it. And the problem is too often we don’t make informed decisions because we want to go too fast.

Special Series The Entrepreneur Alphabet | Episode 9 | I For Impact
I’ve interviewed more than 100 of them on my podcast Inter:views, Cracking The Entrepreneurship Code. When they talk about entrepreneurship, they invariably use the same words and expressions. Impact or purpose are 2 of the words that come back the most often. Entrepreneurs are driven by impact. There are many ways to make an impact: opening a social enterprise, focusing on a good cause, solving a painful problem for people as well as treating employees, clients and suppliers correctly. It always begins with finding a sense of purpose. Japanese people talk about Ikigai. The question is: Why are you doing whatever it is you are doing?

Special Series The Entrepreneur Alphabet | Episode 8 | H For Health
Do you know any brilliant entrepreneurs, who have so much to offer to the world, basically killing themselves for the sake of their businesses? I do. Are you one of them? I did a burn-out in 2014, and I was not an entrepreneur back then, so I have learned to take care of myself since. Let me ask you: As an entrepreneur, how can you take care of your family, your people, and your business if you don’t take care of yourself first? The reality is you can be a high performer without pushing yourself into the red zone all the time. I get it, being an entrepreneur is hard work; it demands sacrifice. You always think about it, you constantly work on it, you want to go fast, you want to be more efficient, and as a result, you rarely take any days off. But how long can you sustain such a pace? #entreprenership #entrepreneurmindset #founders #healthandwellbeing #takecareofyourself
