If you're asked by someone to have coffee and talk about all their pains and miseries.

Say No, you already have a lot of that to think about someone else's.

If they want to visit but talk about the politics of our time including the Prime Minister and his party endlessly. 

Say No, you won't get any resolution just by talking about 'till the cows come home.

There's no peace of mind in this, not with this kind of conversation where everything sucks and you feel like you want to move elsewhere where the grass is greener and withdraw all your money in the bank and say good bye to humanity.

I'd rather  stay put, put my feet up writing, reading my favorite book and keeping my sanity intact.

This is the best self-care: being alone and enjoying the peace.

You're best friend is yourself and no other person can possibly understand what you need is not found in them. 

Blessings to those who stood up to say NO.

​In this digital economy, there are 8 billion searches daily.

Which one of those searchers is looking specifically for you? 

Your future employer will do that.

Your future clients, partners, donors, and sponsors will surely investigate you. 

They will only invest in someone that has the track record and credibility to speak for. 

One that's aligned with their values, interests, and reputation. 

Get on the public sphere and start building your brand. 

Your future viability as a changemaker depends on that. 

You control your narrative. 

The successful writers, scientists, authors, politicians, consultants, founders, artists, professionals are very good at one thing:

They know how to market themselves.

Yes, they do have talent, great personality or charisma, strong track record and experience, and good connections too.

But, they know how to win people to their side, almost 80% of that time.

And marketing is all about solving the needs of your buyers, not spouting your CVs and your trophies in public.

It's building trust, offering value right from the start, and letting the audience feel heard and empowered in the process. 

Who cares if you have triple PhDs? 

I don't.

The world doesn't care. 

Go and solve someone's problem right now.
