LATEST EPISODE
Finally I got the opportunity to get Pilar García Founder at Pendulo.
Our vision for this conversation was to give you a better understanding of how to make a more profitable business and also get the most out of your entrepreneurial journey.
Pilar has been on a fascinating journey from working in a bank, to working with Maverick businesses like Brindisa and Ceviche in London.
We explore why so many businesses operate on losses, Pilar’s experience of “starting from scratch” after losing all of her customers’ data, the power of building strong relationships, and the importance of supporting your local community.

QUOTE I'M REFLECTING ON
TED TALK I RECOMEND
I have recently been intro introduced to Kevin Kelly who is founding executive editor of Wired magazine, and a former editor/publisher of the Whole Earth Review. He also know for his great and famous article on how to get 1,000 True Fans - a must read for any business person - your foundation in marketing in my view.
As part of studying his mind blowing content I found this TED Talk where Kevin shares: Why the future will be shaped by optimists. This will give you an insight how great things in history have been created by optimist.

What is success?
This question has been in my mind for some time.
The late John Wooden has my favourite definition of what success is:
"Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming."
I have struggled to define what success means to me.
It’s been a journey where I have been forced to revisit my purpose and beliefs and the values I operate after.
I have asked myself if success:
Is it to earn this much money - to be rich - to have enough?
Is it to have control over my time?
Is it to be working on the things I love?
Is it to help others become better?
Is it to ensure my work positively impacts people, society and the planet?
Yes, it’s all above in the right combination and balance.
But they are hard to achieve and not 100% in my control.
Therefore I'm focusing on what is truly in my control every day - every moment.
It's doing my best in everything I do.
I am focusing on improving my game by 1% every day.
That is ultimately success for me.
It takes practice and discipline but frees you from most of your worries and frustrations.
What is success for you?

Wise selfishness vs foolish selfishness.Last week, I was captivated by a Netflix documentary featuring the late Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama titled "Joy." Here, they discuss how to find joy and happiness during troubled times. At some point in the interview, they discuss the need to care for yourself without hurting others.They state that you must take care of yourself, or you can not survive or be helpful to others.But caring for oneself should not hurt others. The Daila Lama brings up...
The Power of Positive Energy.None of us can expect to get through life and work without obstacles. Life and work do not always go our way.But that does not mean you can’t navigate it better. You need more POSITIVE ENERGY.In my work observing what Maverick leaders KNOW and DO, I have found that they see positive energy as THE fuel for driving themselves and their organisation to greatness.When I talk about positive energy, I do not think about the rah-rah kind. I think about:- Optimism.-...
Slow down to go far...In the bustling landscape of entrepreneurship and life, finding the silence and solitude one needs to think clearly can be challenging.In the last few years, I've recognised its profound impact on my life and work.Not only when it comes to coping now but also to ensure I can keep going.Silence is often overlooked in our fast-paced world.It holds the key to bettering ourselves and enhancing our leadership.When we neglect this vital space, the quality of our...
