May's reflection
Now you can listen to the article clicking the image above
I think I have been trying to prove that being myself is okay since I can remember. I have been resisting being what others want me to be for a long time.
The paradox is that one starts assuming to know who one is just to discover a bit later that oneself, beyond the surface, is always different.
Being okay with myself is a lifelong process, and it is not a recipe for happiness. It is a decision.
I decided not to comply with what others tell me to be, to accept my weaknesses, and encourage my strengths. Like every other decision in life, that decision has a cost and a benefit.
Are you willing to pay the price of being yourself?
If you decided to follow your own path, to live with freedom, you have chosen a way of purpose and courage.
It is okay to be who you are becoming, even more, when the world seems against you.
If entrepreneurship is a synonym for resourcefulness in the face of change or adversity, then I am an entrepreneur. In other words, entrepreneurship is helping me to become more purposeful, more courageous, more adventurous, and more connected with others. I want my legacy to be a story about learning to become a freer person.
New mentoring sessions
I just finished to organize the three main mentoring sessions I offer.
- If you feel drained and looking to improve your energy levels, choose the green circle.
- If you are planing to start, or if you recently started your new venture and you still feel insecure, choose the orange circle.
- If you see the value of sharing a a workin space with likeminded people, instead of working from home all the time, you might want to start a Coworking space, choose the yellow circle to learn how I did it.
Other news

February 21, 2024. Dear Reader, A couple of days ago, I had a conversation with a dear friend where we explored happiness and success. From our conversation, I worked on writing an article that could be relevant to entrepreneurs and independent people like you. In the journey of entrepreneurship, we often equate success with milestones and metrics—funding rounds, market shares, and profitability. But at what point in this journey do we pause and recognize that perhaps, our understanding of...
December 12, 2023. Dear Reader, I have been scanning the internet for information that leads me to build an accurate base for predicting the coming year,2024.
