The daily notes
EVERY DAY ONE STORY.What type of person are you?
It doesn’t matter if you’re broke or a billionaire. Every living soul has this one thing in common. We all have 24 hours in a day.
Do or do not. There is no try.
Yoda, a totally fictional character who is supposed to be a Jedi master, came with the best piece of general wisdom. “Do or do not. There is no try.”
Making money as an entrepreneur is hard

You can’t change the past
This one sentence is so stupidly simple, but has had a great impact on my thinking and actions. It’s one of the things that are so simple, yet so impactful, that you think: why didn’t I think of that before? Until my late twenties, I always used to look back and reflect on my actions.
You don’t know what’s going on in someone else’s head
Nowadays, communication goes more through digital means than face-to-face. It’s much easier, it’s a lot quicker, and it doesn’t require traveling. However, it’s also a dangerous trend.
A cocktail of excitement and fear
Today, Mandy, Ollie, and I went to our new house for the first time. Just the three of us. No realtor.
The mentor role
Today, my cousin José was at our Thais Tafelen headquarters for a meeting. She’s studying multimedia design and will do her graduation assignment with us. A win-win situation.
Keeping it short
The idea of this daily writing exercise is mostly to build a habit. Through daily writing, I should improve my writing skills. One big skill I want to develop is being able to write faster.
You are the center of the universe
You are at the center of your universe. Until you die, you will always see the world through your eyes, from your point of view. That’s both a beautiful thing and a dangerous thing.
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at start to change
This is a quote I heard on Chris Do’s podcast. I don’t know which episode. I don’t know who the guest was.
