In 2020, we have access to countless resources and ideas. This is an incredible opportunity. We get access to learn and see what others are doing and become inspired by it.

What feels like play to you and work for others? What feels like work to you and play to others? These are essential questions to ask when you're starting a new project. When something feels like play for us, we are more likely to succeed in achieving it. And this inverse is also true; if it feels like work - you will eventually get burnt out by it…
Have you ever looked at what someone else is doing and thought "I could do that too... In fact, I could do it better."? This is natural.

The problem with this idea is that if you're too …

Generosity is a topic I don't see or hear much about these days. To be honest, I think that we are all living in a default 'survival mode'. And if you live in 'survivor-mode' all the time, you won't be very good at giving to others. But I believe we miss something meaningful when we focus too much on ourselves. We are made for connection with other…
