Hello wonderful world of startups!
I know it has been a while since I have reached out to you. It’s not because I have abandoned this project. In fact, I am revamping it (new hairstyle and all)! This site is actually going to get a makeover too in the next few months.
I am currently writing a book – a guidance book of sorts – because I felt it would be more useful than a bunch of blog posts on a weekly basis. There is so much content out there that we are bombarded with, I wanted a simple way to transfer my knowledge to you. Maybe even a few videos… (insert suspense music here).
My purpose is to enable you to have certain mental reflexes so that you can avoid mistakes. Anyone can write a business plan but actually putting into practice and dealing with all of the daily trials of disappointing human behavior and a cut throat corporate world isn’t easy. This is part of the entrepreneurial process and you can’t escape it. I’ll be going over this in detail in my book. I’ll keep you guys posted when it’s up and running. We’ll be able to geek it out together on specific topics.
True story: when I was little, I used to write constantly – from poetry, to songs, to short stories – you name it. Once I entered the legal profession, I was completely mentally blocked. I couldn’t write one creative word. When I started to reassess my professional life and I decided to let go law, I was able to write again. It’s amazing how the brain works.
So from now on, I’ll be posting my startup thoughts and fun things from different startup events I attend or when I’m asked to speak at a conference. I want you to live with me what I am living. I have met incredible people on this journey. People who want to see society change, people who give unconditionally, people who are grateful to be alive and use this energy to create amazing and innovative projects.
Live happy.
– Maria
