Losing my Virginity by Richard Branson on Soundcloud

The other days I’ve just started my Soundcloud account – the purpose being to upload some audio books, interviews and … mixes. The first uploads were some recordings I have from a friend in UK containing pieces of Losing My Virginity read by Richard Branson. I find Mr. Branson the most inspiring entrepreneur ever and I usually read his books, follow the news about him. Maybe this means that I am a fan. Yes, why not?

20 Golden Keys to Going Global

Recently I’ve decided to narrow the focus of my blog towards Entrepreneurship and to strive to add as much value possible to the ones aiming to have their own business or taking the existing one to the next level. One of the key issues for the local business these days is how to add new strings of income or even starting new ventures by exporting and/or importing.
Of course, imports and exports has to start with the basics and it is mandatory to have and master the newest information to get started properly.

Of course, there are hundreds and thousands of resources available online and also I recommend some academic stuff like a master or even an MBA but these are not mandatory. What is important is to gather the correct knowledge, apply and update it. I’ve stumbled two weeks ago upon a new guide called “20 Golden Keys to Going Global”which is a practical guide entitled for every entrepreneur who wants to start an import export business and business owners who want to expand into new markets.

De ce imi plac imobiliarele?

Am facut prima tranzactie imobiliara in 1999 cand am achizitionat pentru mine o casa pe care am gasit-o intr-un anunt dintr-un ziar. Imi amintesc de parca ieri s-a intamplat: am sunat la o agentie, am aflat ca proprietatea era una pe langa care trecusem de zeci de ori dar nu stiam ca este de vanzare si tin minte ca la momentul respectiv am facut un efort mental destul de mare sa accept comisionul care mi s-a cerut. La momentul respectiv agentul care mi-a vandut-o nu cunostea proprietatea, a trebuit sa descurc singur anumite ite si daca stau bine sa ma gandesc nu am gasit valoare adaugata in serviciile care mi-au fost prestate. Mai tarziu, la inceputul lui 2007 am avut ocazia sa colaborez timp de un an si jumatate cu Euroest pe un contract de business development si am invatat de la un maestru – Dragos Dragoteanu ce inseamna de fapt business-ul unei agentii imobiliare.

Ce m-a socat la momentul respectiv era ca eu cautam sa implementez ideea de colaborare intre agentii imobiliari, asa cum citisem in cartile de afara si ma loveam de comportamente de tip “hiena” unde fiecare deal era intens disputat, adesea fara nici un fel de scrupule. Atunci am aflat de fapt ca lucrurile pot sa stea si asa. La momentul respectiv imi placea programul de lucru pe care il aveau investitorii israelieni – de luni pana joi la Bucuresti si de vineri pana duminica in Israel. In birourile lor din Bucuresti vinerea de obicei batea vantul dar profiturile pe care le facusera in acei ani probabil ca le permitea sa treaca asta cu vederea. Atunci am invatat principii si notiuni de genul “imobiliare se fac si in vreme de razboi”, “locatie, locatie, locatie”, “care sunt semnalele de cumparare ale unui client care viziteaza o proprietate”, “turism imobiliar”, “calificarea unui client” si altele.

How to Start Your Google + account

After 4 years of being active in social media, mostly in English speaking areas, I can say that Google has choosen a great strategy by not allowing anyone to register for an account to its latest masterpiece Google +.

Social media means virtual real estate assets so I am as passionate about it as I am with the regular down to earth real estate.

Google has the right mindset, people, investment, knowledge, logistic and the overall resources to make this big. Only few people if we take as a measurement the total amount of social media activists were invited so they created a huge buzz around their project. Great strategy, btw.

Here is a video published by Google explaining more about their project:

What we think actually shapes the world around us

As I am in the middle of the journey to discover myself and improve all areas of my life using training, coaching, and an improved structured way to do things, by far the most important thing to focus on is the mindset.

Below is a quote from The Secret and is one of the many you will find in the next period among the articles published here. Your … Continue reading What we think actually shapes the world around us
