Global Career

My YouTube channel crossed 1 Million views today.

The journey of making videos on YouTube has been such a fascinating and rewarding experience so far and can’t wait to see where it leads.

The primary goal is to help others and I’ve already connected with hundreds of people around the world in business, personal life that helped them learn more about an unfamiliar topic, get over a business hurdle or understand a new perspective.

I’m loving the process and a HUGE thanks to anyone who’s watched.

I know it’s still small potatoes, but excited to keep improving as I go!

Big news! My first song, "Fading Further," just crossed over 50,000 streams today! I'm beyond thrilled to celebrate this milestone —every single stream means the world to me.

Sure, I know it's small potatoes in the music world, but still feels like a good start.

And there's more—my second song dropped this month too! Check out both tracks; I've added the links in the comments. Give them a listen and let me know what you think.

Extremely honored and excited! I was invited to be a "professor for a week" in .

I am teaching a group of ambitious master students about online business and much more.

Here are a few things I learned while sharing the stage and rubbing shoulders with Andrew.

1. He has a buffer zone for everything. Once you reach a certain level, access to you needs to become more scarce. Adding more barriers becomes essential, not only for safety but for headspace and clarity. Gatekeepers are crucial.

2. His core message can be summarized in one message. "Go Where You Are Treated Best!" His content, brand, and everything else fall under this core belief.

3. He focuses on the outcome, NOT the process. He knows how to "Sell the sizzle, not the steak" and especially what high-net-worth individuals want and desire.

I haven't posted for a while...and I want to explain why...

The short answer is that I've been working on some of the biggest projects of my life.

And the good news is that they are close to being ready and I am excited to give you a quick update on two of them.

The first project is that I gave a TEDx talk in Tbilisi in December, and it was voted by the attendees as the best talk of the event (by quite a lot).

This was extremely reassuring to hear since I put over 500+ hours of work into it, and there were some other impressive speakers there.

But why did it take so much time...

Well, a big chunk was spent writing a script, working with a speaker coach, practicing until I started to lose my voice, and all of the other essential aspects that go into crafting a GREAT story.

I had to condense 10+ years into a short and compelling story.

500+ hours into an 18-minute talk might seem crazy, but I wanted to push myself and deliver a talk that I was proud of.

The good news is that the video will be free to watch and will be posted on the TEDx YouTube channel with over 40 MILLION subscribers. As soon as it's live, I'll make sure to send it over.

The second big update is...I wrote, produced, and will be publishing a song.

I know that might seem random, but I am hoping it will all make sense to you. The song will be LIVE this Friday, January 26th, to get exclusive access to the song for free!

I'll also be sharing all of the details on "WHY" I wrote a song later this week on Friday...

It's connected with my story and talk with TEDx, but that's all I can say for now.

Stay tuned!

💥Nietzsche: 'Invisible threads are the strongest ties.' He foresaw the power of digital networking.🔮 Are you creating invisible threads or just invisible?

🚀Shaking hands? So yesterday. Welcome to networking at lightspeed. Time to rebuild your online persona: authenticity, value, engagement. Is your avatar ready? 🤔

🚀What if the 'right place and right time' was anywhere, at any moment? What if you could toss your physical business card out the window and still make powerful connections?

The world isn't just digitizing; it's redefining the concept of human connection.

Here's the harsh reality - The way we network has transformed. Physical boardrooms have given way to virtual meeting rooms. Handshakes have become emojis. Our networking strategies are stumbling, trying to keep up with this paradigm shift, causing missed opportunities and evaporating potential collaborations.

Here's the pinch: traditional networking methods just don't cut it anymore.

We feel the pain of once efficient networkers now floundering in the face of constant digital change. We've seen the opportunities lost to the abyss of outdated techniques. This digital age does not forgive the old school "Hello, my name is..." approach.

So, how do we take back control? How do we not only survive but thrive in this new arena?

The key lies in recognizing this shift, not as a setback, but as an unprecedented opportunity. The digital landscape provides a playground for limitless connections, waiting to be harnessed. So, drop that physical Rolodex, and embrace LinkedIn, Twitter, and virtual events.

Start by rebuilding your online persona: make it authentic, add value and engage regularly. Turn on your video during web meetings - body language speaks volumes. Create meaningful content that resonates with your industry and invites discussion. Engage with peers' content and attend virtual events to expand your circles. Don't be afraid to slide into those DMs with thoughtful comments or questions, it’s all about building relationships.

Remember, networking isn’t transactional; it’s about building long-term relationships. The digital age merely offers a new medium, and in many ways, a more accessible one.

So here’s your call-to-action: Embrace the change. Become a pioneer of digital networking. Stay ahead of the curve and master the new rules of connection, and you'll find that the 'right place and the right time' is here and now.

We're not filling buckets, we're plugging holes. Are we not doing the same with our digital ad spend? What leaks are you ignoring in your ad strategy? 🕳️

Analytics. Segmentation. Testing. That's your winning trifecta for digital ad ROI. It's no rocket science, just common business sense. Who said space exploration was the only frontier? 🚀

🔍 Can you imagine trying to fill up a bucket with a gaping hole in the bottom? That's pretty much the same as spending on digital ads without focusing on maximizing ROI. But guess what, it's not about who has the biggest budget. It's about who plays the smartest game!

You're seeing a dip in your sales, aren't you? Campaigns that used to be home runs are now mere base hits. Your once engaged audience now seems disinterested. Your once thriving garden of leads, now a barren landscape.

That sinking feeling? It's your hard-earned dollars plunging into the abyss of ineffective digital advertising. You're not alone. Many of us have felt the sting of under-performing ad campaigns. It's like a stubborn knot in your stomach, getting tighter with every dollar spent without seeing a satisfactory return.

No more! Time to reclaim your peace of mind and turn the tables on your ad campaigns.

Invest in data-driven decisions. Use your analytics to identify what works and what doesn't. If it isn't delivering, cut it loose. Don't let sentimentality dictate your ad spend. Adaptability is your secret weapon in this constantly evolving digital landscape.

Next, laser focus your target audience. Segment, segment, and segment some more. The more personalized your ads, the better your results. It's not about shouting into the void, it's about having a conversation with the right person at the right time.

And finally, test relentlessly. A/B testing isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Remember, this isn't a 'set it and forget it' game. It's a 'set it, measure it, refine it' game.

So, let's dust ourselves off and head back into the fray. This time, with a fresh perspective and a solid strategy. Let's maximize our digital ad ROI and watch our businesses flourish. It's time to not just play the game, but master it!

Join me in reshaping the digital advertising landscape. Because the old rules no longer apply. 🚀

Not using video in your marketing strategy is like trying to reach Mars with a bicycle. Interesting challenge, but likely you won't get there. What's your vehicle to success?

🎯 Video Marketing 101:
- Know your audience
- Craft the story
- Choose the right platform
- Timing is everything
Ready to trade your bicycle for a rocket?

🎥 Imagine you've just produced the movie of the century, but no one's coming to the theater. Why? You forgot about marketing! That's what happens when we neglect video marketing strategies in our business.

It's time to wake up to a reality. In the digital era, if your marketing strategy doesn't have a video component, you're like a sailboat without wind. Static. Unable to move forward. In the vast ocean of online content, text and image-based marketing strategies are struggling to keep pace. Videos, on the other hand, are sailing smoothly, driven by a strong tailwind of consumer preferences and technological advancements.

Here's the kicker. It's not just any video that will catapult your brand into stardom. It's the right kind of video, for the right audience, on the right platform, and at the right time. And here's where most businesses falter. They're pumping out content but not the impact.

It doesn't have to be this way. A well-defined video marketing strategy can be a game changer, setting the stage for deeper engagement, broader reach, and a massive boost in conversions. Imagine leveraging video to demystify your products, tell compelling brand stories, educate your customers, and drive sales. The possibilities are endless, and the results can be game changing.

So, are you ready to seize the reins of this powerful medium? Equip yourself with a robust video marketing strategy. Understand your audience, design meaningful content, pick the appropriate platform, and deliver at the optimal time. In the world of video marketing, strategy is king. And it's time for your business to wear the crown.

Let's embrace the future of marketing, it's not just about words or pictures anymore, it's a complete motion picture. Remember, every frame is a chance to connect with your audience, every second a step towards . For the ambitious , there's no looking back, only forward - towards a horizon brightened by the promise of video. 🚀

🔮 "Imagine navigating the future of online business with a crystal ball. Your vision of tomorrow becomes today, and the future success of your enterprise is in your hands. But guess what? The crystal ball exists! It's not magic, it's the power of insights into upcoming trends!

🚀 As we're riding the bullet train of digital transformation, the scenery outside is constantly changing. Traditional business models are being overhauled, and the 'remotely working' entrepreneurs of the digital age are the new captains of industry.

❗ But there's a hitch - staying on the cutting edge isn't easy. The fast pace of change can be overwhelming. Missing out on key trends might leave you in the digital dust while others surge ahead. Don't let that be you!

💡 Stay ahead of the game by embracing the right trends. Live streaming eCommerce is one to watch closely - it's interactive, real-time, and gives customers the 'try before you buy' experience from the comfort of their homes. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are not just buzzwords anymore. They are being woven into the very fabric of business operations, driving efficiency and delivering personalized customer experiences.

📈Moreover, sustainability is emerging as a significant player. More consumers than ever are choosing brands that are eco-conscious. Businesses that fail to respond to this change risk being left behind.

🎯 It's your turn now - set your compass, navigate these trends, and ride the wave of digital transformation. Remember, the future is not to be predicted, it's to be created. So, create yours now! It's the perfect time to pivot, adapt and thrive.

Let's make the future happen today! 🔮🔮🔮

Would Socrates approve of our AI-driven world? He said, 'The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.' Are we building or destroying? Let's ponder.

Bullet trains and businesses, what's common? Speed and scenery!

Either you're on board or you're left behind! Challenging? Or exciting?

🚀💡Crowdfunding: an audience that knows you, a community that grows with you, and a plan that shows your true colors. Feels like launching a rocket, doesn't it?

What if Socrates was an entrepreneur? 'I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.' Substitute 'intelligence' for 'success' and you've got a recipe for crowdfunding. Always be learning.

🚀💡Imagine kickstarting a world-changing idea with the collective power of hundreds, even thousands, across the globe. No venture capitalists, no banks, just impassioned individuals resonating with your vision. This is the might of crowdfunding. But why do some campaigns shoot for the stars, while others barely leave the ground?

🔍The key isn't just an appealing idea, it's much more strategic. To begin with, the journey to a successful crowdfunding campaign starts with a precise understanding of your target audience. Who are they? What do they want? How can your idea make their lives better? A well-researched, tailored campaign can sway hearts and open wallets.

🔥Then, there's the crucial role of community engagement. Think about it. A great idea is just a drop in the ocean unless you can generate the waves. Stirring up a sense of urgency, providing regular updates, and keeping the conversation alive creates a community that's invested not just monetarily, but emotionally.

💡Finally, there's the absolute necessity of a well-structured, crystal-clear plan. Transparency in how funds will be used, demonstrating project feasibility, and setting achievable goals – these elements craft trust and confidence in potential backers.

🎯So here's the reality check. Not all crowdfunding campaigns will be successful. But with strategic audience understanding, vibrant community engagement, and clear, trustworthy planning, the odds significantly tip in your favor. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, a startup rookie, or a remote worker aiming for a breakthrough, crowdfunding done right can be your launchpad.

Take it from me - the future of funding is already here. It's time to harness the crowd. 💪

🔮 Imagine you've found an enchanting portal, a wormhole to a magical kingdom where you're the ruler, the office is your castle, and you've swapped the daily commute for the luxury of time, comfort, and productivity. Welcome to the kingdom of remote work!

😱 Yet, this enchanting kingdom brings challenges. Those friendly water-cooler conversations have faded into the background noise of Teams' notifications. The line between work and life has blurred, your desk now a permanent fixture in your living room. And then, the solitude. Oh, the solitude!

💻 Now, it's time to seize the day! Here's how you can turn this kingdom into a paradise, tailored to your unique needs:

👥 1. Foster meaningful connections: You might be physically alone, but you're virtually surrounded by teammates. Use digital tools to nurture those relationships. Virtual coffee breaks, anyone?

⌚ 2. Time management is key: Ensure to define clear boundaries between your professional and personal life. Treat your home office hours with the same respect as you would your office's. It's your kingdom; you make the rules!

🏡 3. Comfortable workspace: Your workspace affects your mindspace. Make it comfortable and clutter-free. Your back and your productivity will thank you!

🧘‍♀️ 4. Take care of your mental health: Incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques into your routine. A tranquil kingdom is a prosperous kingdom!

💼 Adapting to remote work is akin to learning a new language: it's different, it's challenging, but once you get the hang of it, the benefits are unparalleled. Embrace this opportunity. Rule your kingdom like the king or queen you are.

The future of work is here. Are you ready to lead?

Nietzsche said 'He who has a why can endure any how.' Here's the how for the why:
👥 Virtual coffee = Real connections.
⌚ Office hours = Sacred.
🏡 Workspace = Mind space.
🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness = King.
