I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been paralyzed in front of a blank page because I didn’t know what to talk about.

It feels overwhelming, and the more you try, the more blocked you are.

I used to feel this way whenever I was creating new content or writing a script for my podcast, or just writing an email.

It's like you can't come up with good content ideas anymore.?

What if I've already said everything I know? What ...

If you are like me, one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences that you will face is public speaking.

But what if I tell you that the ability to speak to others is a skill that you can learn? Even if you are an introvert!

This week I am interviewing Brenden Kumarasamy.

Brenden is a public speaking coach. He has an inspiring story overcoming adversity and building a life of purpose and meaning helping others to tell their s...

Creating new content that no one sees feels so frustrating.

That’s exactly how I was feeling for a long time until I understood that creating great content is not enough.

I learned that the hard way, spending long hours creating content, researching topics, and adding lots of value just to see how no one was seeing my content.

Creating remarkable content without spending time and resources promoting that content is a bad strategy. Is ...

Until I figured out this, my content was having ZERO engagement.

I was wondering why my content was having not traction, clearly, I was doing a huge mistake with my content creation.

But I didn’t know what.

My mistake was the same as many other content creators: I was creating content that was interesting for me but not for my audience.

Sounds silly, but this is the number one reason why most of the content out there underperform or go...

In my personal experience, if you are working to build a massive online following, there is a counterintuitive strategy to follow: create one true connection at a time.

Sharing your personal story online (especially on social media) is crucial for building a relationship with your audience that will last over the years.

In a world of vanity metrics, this strategy doesn't sound very sexy, but the key is to target the right audienc...

Unless you can stay centered and grow through uncertainty you’ll be always suffering as an entrepreneur. I’m sorry, but this is something that I learned in the crisis of 2008 when I started my first business.

The truth and the matter are that (almost) anyone can start and grow a business when the economy is right, the markets are right, the right clients have money to pay you and your cashflow is looking spectacular.

The question is:...

How can you stay focused on your business goals when the world is falling apart?

This is the question that I asked Kimberly Afonso (aka The CEO Whisperer) a few weeks ago.

In Kimberly’s words: “Is not the time to be super productive all the time but find the way to work smarter, strategically”.

Identify key daily goals that will give you instant progress toward your goals.

Depending on where you are right now, it could be…

Almost every single time when I used to say that I work from home, people get shocked about it!

Today, we are living a totally different reality.

Bur for some reason, people still think that working from home as something temporary. You know, if you are not working in an office, you are not actually working after all.

At the same time, big corporations such as Apple, Amazon or Netflix have a full “remote work” program that their emplo...

Starting a business is difficult, but starting and growing a business in the middle of a crisis is 10x more difficult.

I now that because I started my first business (still alive) in the middle of the 2008 economical crisis.

If you are starting a side business or in the early stages of it, your first reaction probably is to leave it on standby for a while. And, quite honestly, I don’t blame you.

It feels so scary right now.

But wait a ...
