To me, this means being open to what arises, because when you start a company, you have some idea of what it might become, but it’s very likely not going to become that. Hence, if you cling too much to it, you’ll likely experience a sense of failure. Instead, I believe having a sense of openness to seeing what resonates in the world, and looking at yourself as a conduit for that energy, is more productive — putting something out and letting that energy flow through you. By doing this, you are also not getting too attached, and you’re letting go of your ego. After all, it’s not me doing it — it is me sensing what is out there, looking at all the signals, and then feeding that back to the team and seeing what the team does with it. This also resonates with the idea of servant leadership — that the leader is really just there to support the team. This focuses on how a leader can empower the team as much as possible to do their best work, and support them where needed. While I think you can probably be a successful founder without this mindset, you’ll be a lot more successful with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/a395f373-fb85-4e9b-b3d8-ea583f9c666c/willem+intro.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Willem Bult https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/482b8204-2669-471f-96f9-1bd13a278424/tomy%2B1+%281%29.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Willem Bult - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/diego-saez-gil monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/b07fde0e-8989-40f3-9acd-8adcffbcbac0/Diego%2BSaez%2BGil%2Bintroduction.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/70e1b0a4-f8a9-484d-b908-c3d6af6d3153/2%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cfd1a0b8-0391-4fbc-9b5e-f2181e4d1ad0/3%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/5f9def0b-9255-48fa-a52d-b02ac5170a70/1%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/4cb2d011-a637-4661-9173-c5fb30f3b98c/diego%2Bquote%2B1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cf351fee-f78e-47ac-aa7e-61dc3cd037cf/5%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d6b6cb93-e460-4442-becd-41b8e6fdf473/diego%2B4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diego Saez Gil - Make it stand out Every founder must have the mindset for sharing and learning — especially from other founders. Human relationships are so hard in general. When you put them into the craziness of building and sustaining a company, it becomes even more difficult. Founders are a force of nature. The planet needs leaders and innovators who can coalesce people around a dream. But we need to be in the best mindset possible to lead. And the way to that is through vulnerability, peer support, and spaces for self-exploration. Leaders have to introspect to find their true purpose and to lead from a place of higher self and not from ego. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/tomy-lorsch monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/70e1b0a4-f8a9-484d-b908-c3d6af6d3153/2%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d6b6cb93-e460-4442-becd-41b8e6fdf473/diego%2B4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch - Make it stand out This may sound cliché, but a mindset of growth and abundance is important. There is always going to be someone doing it better than you. When we compare ourselves to others, we forget what’s unique about us. It’s crucial to know that there is enough for everyone, and that when you write your own story from a place of originality, you can build a company that is unique. I often tell this story about a German company called Rocket Internet, which created a copycat factory of Silicon Valley startups. If a company like Twitter or Airbnb launches, Rocket Internet would quickly replicate the business model and launch it in 25 languages before the original US company was even ready to go international. I remember thinking you can copy a business model, but you cannot copy the culture or story of a company — you can’t copy the reason why Airbnb was created, or their understanding of the problem they are trying to solve. And that gives them a head start. I therefore think the mindset that’s critical would be knowing that every human and every company is unique, and that being the first is not important. There are so many cases of companies that were the first creating an industry, but then came someone who built something similar two or three years later and became the dominant player. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/e10652d1-4158-413e-b150-0941a7f4a762/tomy%2Blorsch%2Bintro.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/6310cfda-3a44-4f44-875d-efc79f136ab7/tomy%2B1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cfd1a0b8-0391-4fbc-9b5e-f2181e4d1ad0/3%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cf351fee-f78e-47ac-aa7e-61dc3cd037cf/5%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/ccafeba8-0fa0-42a9-8b1c-d03fb5b2efb5/tomy%2Bquote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Tomy Lorsch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/maria-sipka monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/1ba9fc99-0a62-4113-89bf-26a43b7407f8/maria%2Bquote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cf351fee-f78e-47ac-aa7e-61dc3cd037cf/5%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cfd1a0b8-0391-4fbc-9b5e-f2181e4d1ad0/3%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/70e1b0a4-f8a9-484d-b908-c3d6af6d3153/2%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d6b6cb93-e460-4442-becd-41b8e6fdf473/diego%2B4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Undoubtedly — a positive mindset. Your thoughts impact your emotions, your emotions impact your actions, and your actions impact your future. What does it mean to have a positive mindset? One thing is certain: that there’s no magical switch that you flick on like a light. A positive mindset is so deeply ingrained in all the facets of who we are. As I reflected on my own journey and pondering this question, I engaged a coach for three months to unravel the tenets of a positive mindset and discovered the secret key, which I have synthesized into an acronym I call the GIVE code. So what does it stand for? G represents Generosity. I learned about generosity in my late teens spending hours with my boyfriend’s grandmother — who was in her 80s. She said to me, “You know what, Maria? There are two types of people in the world — and you’ll know as soon as you meet them which type they are — they either come from Giving-ton or Taking-ton.” Giving-ton is: when you first meet somebody, do they have a giving spirit? Are they curious about who you are and what your common connections are; how to collaborate and add value to one another? Or are they from Taking-ton: sizing you up to sense what they can take from you? Did you go to an Ivy league school, who do you know, where do you work? And then putting forward their ask. That conversation left such an impression on me, and I consciously took that mindset onboard and decided that I always want to walk away from a conversation or interaction with the sense that I’ve given something and filled somebody’s cup with something of value. I represents Infinity — in the context of having an abundant mindset. Asking yourself what are the possibilities? Let’s look at all the reasons why this is going to work out or, seeing all the positive qualities an individual embodies. Seeing who they are and what they are capability of achieving. This mindset takes you out of the judgment zone that can weaken a connection. If you enter every interaction with an infinite mindset, there’s infinite potential to co-create and catalyze each other’s future. V represents Vulnerability. You never want to be seen or perceived as having it all together because there is no such thing as perfection. Perfection is in the imperfection, and so vulnerability ties to being self-aware about who you are, where your strengths and weaknesses exist — and accepting that our super powers are not going to apply to every area of our being. Today it’s far more common for people to be able to share their feelings — whether they are nervous, sad or angry, because that’s part of the human experience. And last, E represents Energy. Your ability to manifest energy says a lot about who you are and how you flow through life. Within a few seconds of entering a room, what do others feel when they see or hear you? I believe the combination of generosity, infinite mindset, vulnerability, and energy — the GIVE code — is really what transcends into a positive mindset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/c2050ef5-8036-4eb5-a1a9-a4f93418873f/maria%2Bpodcast.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/732b3f3d-b1ce-4164-82ba-4d591118f205/maria%2Bintro.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/5e74f420-9b13-4884-85a8-b06ba7bbfa8b/ff%2B1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Maria Sipka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/stacey-lawson monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/0410a680-0fce-405c-9766-f8e2715c43c0/stacey%2Bquote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/031d6496-af7e-467b-be91-cfa848e27126/stacey%2Bq%2B1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/70e1b0a4-f8a9-484d-b908-c3d6af6d3153/2%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cf351fee-f78e-47ac-aa7e-61dc3cd037cf/5%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/1f3980df-5a61-4188-bad8-9b6b479fa8a6/stacey%2Bpodcast.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/8aaa246b-e573-4f65-a35a-ef446ba082bb/stacey.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cfd1a0b8-0391-4fbc-9b5e-f2181e4d1ad0/3%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d6b6cb93-e460-4442-becd-41b8e6fdf473/diego%2B4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Stacey Lawson - Make it stand out Having a mindset of gratitude, working actively on becoming a better listener, and being aware of how I source my energy are three core mindsets that help me as a founder and leader. A mindset of gratitude to me means cultivating a certain positivity. There’s a saying in the Conscious Leadership Group that “all people and circumstances are my allies”, which resonates deeply with me. I really do believe that if we’re grateful for every moment and we are receptive to the circumstances, regardless of how it looks on the surface, then we can acknowledge that there are gifts innate in everything we’re facing. It allows us to show up in ways that are a lot deeper and more present than if we are in reaction. The second mindset for me is constantly practicing becoming a better listener. When we create spaces to hear all the voices — where we allow what sometimes feels like uncomfortable emotions like anger or fear to exist — and recognize that all of these feelings are part of the human experience, we can then drop into a place where there’s more acceptance, more creativity, more energy and more possibility. Listening means the ability to drop into stillness, to pause and be aware of our egoistic tendencies and suspend them momentarily — to just take a deep breath and hear each other out. I believe if we can nurture the ability to listen we will actually discover a much more generative and creative set of solutions — new technologies, innovations, cultural and social shifts — that can only arise if we’re willing to sit with the vulnerability and discomfort of actually listening to each other. I don’t say this from a place of being a master at listening — sometimes I find throughout my day that the first thing I want to do is tell someone why that’s not going to work, or why this should be done some other way. And sometimes I do end up saying those things, but then I realize “Oh, the energy of that didn’t actually feel creative”, or that the energy felt blocking and kind of constrictive, and so then I have to reset. The third mindset shift for me has been around where I source my energy. In the early 2000s, I took a trip to India where I met a spiritual teacher who has now been a mentor to me for nearly 20 years. One of the first things he said to me was “you’re a successful businesswoman but you’re using your energy all wrong”. At the time I was definitely burning the candle at both ends, and I realized that I really can’t afford to source my energy from my body or from my mind alone. After all, the body has a finite endurance, and the mind has a finite intelligence. But when I go into stillness, there’s a certain quality — whether you call it soul or intuition or inner knowing — where there’s actually infinite energy and intelligence. It’s sort of like an infinite battery I can always tap into for reserves. I’ve noticed that if I get too busy and too stressed out, and I don’t do that, then I’m relying on non-renewable fuel, if you will. So for me, leadership requires sustainability in the sense that we all have to be sustainable at a personal level, and these are some of the ways that I have tried to stay sustainable for the roles where I’m in a leadership position. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/marko-gargenta monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d6f8c5ea-a99d-4530-9b4e-b1c6987af730/marko%2Bq%2B1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/cfd1a0b8-0391-4fbc-9b5e-f2181e4d1ad0/3%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/4b4599b7-3aaf-40f3-a630-3c3bfe5a1c33/marko%2Bpodcast.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/55007e21-371c-493d-aed3-6cca505a91d1/marko.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d6b6cb93-e460-4442-becd-41b8e6fdf473/diego%2B4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta - Make it stand out For me, it’s resilience. Being a founder is a long journey, and just finding a way to enjoy it, and to find beauty and fulfilment in it along the way is important. That’s why I believe if you survive long enough, things are going to work out. Being open to challenge is also crucial. My motivation for starting my previous company was not having a boss; I wanted to work for myself and have that “freedom”. Back then, that meant financial freedom — not having to do what somebody tells me, but having a choice. Now, I’m also realizing that there’s another side to freedom: I also need a little bit of a push to thrive. It’s nice getting a healthy dose of stress or something that motivates you. For our business, we initially bootstrapped as I didn’t want investors, but then I realised I wasn’t challenged. I realized that having somebody to challenge me was actually helping me grow and focus on creating better work. That’s how I decided to ultimately raise money and have investors — to bring people in that were going to challenge us. Being open to that is crucial for building and sustaining a company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/a4472c79-3fb8-4d7b-8c25-c6887f119714/marko%2Bquote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/70e1b0a4-f8a9-484d-b908-c3d6af6d3153/2%2Bdiego.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Marko Gargenta - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/barry-stamos monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d4d85c17-b694-4603-8e43-a01d4ae43813/diana%2Bq3.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/2b66fa9b-7752-42b4-8ed9-d0bc6bb5cb69/diana%2Bq4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out I have a few things that have really helped me along the way. I can get completely consumed by my reality and my work, things pile up and I want to just get through them. I get in this zone where I can crank out content and get really productive, but if I don’t take the time to step into nature and detox from the digital world, I am a fraction of myself. For me, any opportunity I have to connect with nature is a game changer. People, if you allow them, can also help you center. I’m blessed to be surrounded by all these incredible practitioners who all share their gifts every day. My dad also gives me great advice. He’s grounded. He’s generous. His way of being and his example embodies so many teachings. I am also blessed with two boys that even when I’m not ready to detach from work will just jump up in my lap or tug me and be like daddy, dinner time. They are a wonderful, healthy distraction to remind me of what’s important in my life. I would be remiss not to acknowledge my life partner, Christine. She can read my aura and see my energy and just knows how I am feeling. Interacting with my family provides me with wonderful ways that I get to reconnect and pause. Pausing is the key. Pause to be present. The people around you and the gifts, genius and beauty that they bring to your life is one of the most important things that we can create and be grateful for. When I allow the people around me to be seen, I’m a reflection of them like a prism. I think of a prism as a beautiful visual when I’m in my meditative states that is really helpful for me. There’s a saying along these lines that we share at 1heart, ‘I am you. You are me. We are one. We are one heart.’ When I stopped focusing on the differences between us and the judgments, that was when I started to really connect with people, plants, animals, and to the world around me. It comes down to the feeling of oneness as opposed to a feeling of separation. That has been the greatest gift of my life and I want to share that with the world. This divine love is everybody’s birthright and it’s accessible anytime simply through your free will. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/9f543af8-9728-4dc4-adb2-3f0f88fe82e3/barry.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/93507463-2ce6-49f6-ac95-a373b7aaade6/barry%2Bquote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/322b776b-9a05-4103-9a20-5ca9e8830eb4/barry-1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/378dd935-66ad-46c7-ba19-4b366e7d8d99/2.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/51c1c40d-d729-4249-ac10-44773ab05847/barry%2Bpodcast.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/bad7cf94-9a83-4b66-a252-aeaf1142f3bf/robert-3.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/6f9877d0-14b8-4d8d-8544-aec1ee0b14a8/robert-5.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Barry Stamos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/robert-bent monthly 0.5 2023-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/2bba7113-50f1-4b91-a2dd-6518aae3e3f7/robert-spotify.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/79286282-d4ea-49de-b40b-6b0f56b5cde6/robert-quote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/2b66fa9b-7752-42b4-8ed9-d0bc6bb5cb69/diana%2Bq4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Every year, I try to do some type of “pilgrimage” — not a vacation where you go and give into your urges, but something difficult, where you learn and have a reset. If you’re thinking that you want to take a break as a founder, the best way is through this “restriction”, because that’s going to build your energy for when you come back. It could be a Vipassana retreat, some type of extreme sport, a bit of time in nature or even a psychedelic medicine retreat. There’s all kinds of different things that reduce stimulation, and can help you to build back your energy, creativity and inspiration. I tend to do one of these a year. For me, they used to be some kind of resilience challenge, to conquer some fear of mine. Now, they’ve moved to just total relaxation resets. When I come back, I feel empowered again. For instance, this year was particularly challenging for me, as a lot of my usual habits started to go out the window slowly. When the gyms closed, I was suddenly not exercising anymore. Next, I was online all the time: checking Twitter to keep updated with the COVID situation, and also maintaining two businesses at the same time remotely, which meant my email flow was doubling and seven hours straight on Zoom. There were no boundaries — I was not eating properly, I was drinking too much coffee, I wasn’t sleeping well. As an entrepreneur, even when you’re doing the thing you absolutely love, it can still lead to burnout when it all gets too much. This is where the retreats and the yearly pilgrimage come in — allowing me to take a break and come back to doing what I love with more energy and a deeper vision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/6f9877d0-14b8-4d8d-8544-aec1ee0b14a8/robert-5.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/0d47cac1-4a7e-443e-a6a2-f3e1e5bc8120/robert-1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/bad7cf94-9a83-4b66-a252-aeaf1142f3bf/robert-3.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/3eae0038-10de-4059-9555-208db39588c2/robert.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/378dd935-66ad-46c7-ba19-4b366e7d8d99/2.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/8dcc8029-b78e-4442-a68d-006fc9ee68f1/robert-quote-2.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d4d85c17-b694-4603-8e43-a01d4ae43813/diana%2Bq3.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Robert Bent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/jochen-boeykens monthly 0.5 2023-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/b52882db-a5a8-4f13-b98c-9b4b4da2382a/jochen-quote.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/2b66fa9b-7752-42b4-8ed9-d0bc6bb5cb69/diana%2Bq4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out One resource that helped me a lot was a mindset that I cultivated through my experiences, which is to think about the worst case scenario. I mean, it’s not a very optimistic way to spend your time, but it’s usually when I think about the worst case first that I come to a conclusion that it is pretty acceptable. That’s what gives me a lot of confidence in doing my work and to continue doing it. People generally feel their failures a lot longer than their successes, right? Ultimately, however, that experience gave me a lot. It brought me to a lot of opportunities, and I personally have grown a lot more from my failures than my successes. That’s what I mean when I say you should think about your worst case scenarios — if you know you can learn and grow from your failures, it almost always makes the worst case seem very acceptable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/4ed4614c-8f35-4f59-8628-f2c0262df5e2/Screenshot+2023-08-25+at+7.35.14+PM.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/91b17b29-e218-4a2a-bd11-758b176662ed/jochen-5.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/bcc423c8-4c3e-452c-895f-335fe8c721db/jochen-1.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/378dd935-66ad-46c7-ba19-4b366e7d8d99/2.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/d4d85c17-b694-4603-8e43-a01d4ae43813/diana%2Bq3.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/10d0ab9c-86b8-4c21-b76d-a4901b2c17bd/jochen-quote2.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/1427e51d-22f1-4553-b4c6-140f3075d6d4/jochen-spotify.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Jochen Boeykens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.secondtimefounders.com/articles/diana-hu monthly 0.5 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/378dd935-66ad-46c7-ba19-4b366e7d8d99/2.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diana Hu - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d06a9d0ae1111293333725/2b66fa9b-7752-42b4-8ed9-d0bc6bb5cb69/diana%2Bq4.png Articles - 5 Questions For Founders with Diana Hu - Make it stand out Recently, I went through the transition of starting another company, and what helped me through this period of uncertainty was being okay with the uncomfortableness, the restlessness, and the chaos. Often, chaos is needed and is a part of building a new vision and strategy. Surrendering to the moment, and learning how to do that with consistent mindfulness and self-care, has been a valuable resource for me. Over the last couple of years, I’ve been getting deeper into the space of mindfulness. Before, being perhaps a bit too “scientific” in my approach, I was skeptical and hesitant of all this stuff. However, I’ve noticed the difference of having a “mindfulness practice”, which some weeks is consistent and others not so much, allowing me to develop a deeper awareness of where I am and how my inner world manifests outside. This has helped me approach life’s uncertainty and chaos with calmness. My “practice”, which has helped me operate closer to my peak, has included self-care and a few basic things — tracking sleep and meals consistency, exercise, etc. I sleep a lot more — eight hours or even more — because that’s what I need to best function. It’s funny, because I think back to my younger self, who used to be proud of working hard and not sleeping, or to when I was a student, when I’d cram my work into a night, not get any sleep, and go do an exam the next day. I now really appreciate being aware of my self-care needs, and how much that impacts me. Just making small changes has gotten me to operate better, and allowed me to pursue my well-being mindfully.
