Hey friends, Skool just rolled out integrated LIVE video calls... so I'm testing it. I have a ton of content to edit, so I'll just be coworking if anyone want to hang out and be pseudo productive. Here's the link...-> HERE

ORIGIN: I am a multi-passionate person, who finds it hard to be entertained by one project only. I am a Bulgarian who has always felt a citizen of the world - maybe learning to read very early and speaking/ reading in a couple of foreign languages at the age of 6-7y.o. contributed to that. (When I was seven, I decided that I will learn all human languages, to be able to communicate with all people - and I figured I should start with Latin, Hebrew and Greek. So I started with Greek at 7yo, after learning Russian on my own at 6). I come from classical strategic advertising from the pre-internet era, have launched one of the very first e-commerce brands and online stores in my country (way too early when people were uncomfortable paying online - in 2002), got into strategic advertising (including for Johnson & Johnson @Joseph Isosaki ;) ), then became a film producer in 1999, and later transitioned into therapy, coaching and mentoring. Throughout this journey I raised two sons, 23 years apart, and developed the passion for non-traditional education to support my two kids who did not fit. One of them is with a black father, the other is overcoming social anxiety. ________________________ WHERE I FIND MYSELF TODAY? Often juggling multiple balls (I can't thrive with one activity only), a better metaphor is actually knitting a sock - like in the GIF below. Have you seen your grandma or mom do it? You use 6 needles simultaneously, there are no single pieces that can be ready, until the whole sock is completed. Balancing three distinct businesses and brands: a film production company, a coaching and mentoring academy, and a project for recurring income based on wellness and info products. Being tech savvy, inquisitive and with high quality work standards, especially when it comes to visibility/ branding (coming from designing and supervising communication campaigns for major international brands), I have been finding it easier to not delegate but do a lot of work myself. This obviously when I started building my own business - I would not do it in Publicis, FCB or JWT (the agencies where I worked as a client service director and deputy general manager in charge of the creative department).

So many contradictive strategies, approaches, advices, are being presented as the only way to go. Strategies in general - about navigating life, business, money. And because they come from individuals with authority and influence, people take them as a magic pill expected to solve their problems. But as with anything in life, there are many angles and solutions to the same situation. And it’s wise to remind ourselves that for a recipe to work, many specific ingredients have to be in place. And that you can bake a cake in different ovens and vessels. Are you improvising when baking a cake? Or when taking someone’s advice - adapting to your situation? (I personally never follow strictly cooking recipes.)
