Finished for today. Of course never finished. Reverse: if you’re running a growing business, the pile of work grows faster than the team. That’s a phase you have to go through. And don’t forget to build your machine. The real fun starts after being in business for about 2-2.5 years. You aint seen nothing yet when you start :-). Adam Smith, in his 18th century book wrote it: division of work equals productivity growth. We’re like bacteria over here: splitting out tasks in two piles that used to be one.

Guys, I live in #Belgium. The country where people are afraid to sell. In cafés, you have to ask for beers, and beg for a second round. In many shops nobody helps you finding your way, and FINDING MORE. Here’s what I think, underway to #chicago. I love #selling. Really. If you think you are doing good work, and I’m not only talking about business, dare to throw the value in the face of people. So they can see it. Never go to a client without 100% sincerely believing you can help them with your fantastic service. Selling = helping. This mentality, if sincere and backed up with other happy customers, destroys the barrier to sell. #salesperson #sales #marketing #salesguy #business #businessperson #customers #client #businessgrowth #startups #founders #startupfounder #commercial #commerce #feartosell

All I can say is that if I would have become bitter with every new daily problem in business, my blood would now be Campari🍷 We all have the choice I guess. PAIN+ REFLECTION=PROGRESS. Pain as such is only suffering. Good luck to all of those daring to do unconventional things. Unconventional in the eyes of society, normal in yours. AGREE?

Yesterday in Norfolk, VA, I visited the high tech facilities of one of our clients. Before I started my business, I sometimes heard ‘figure out who your ideal clients would be’. I now understand why that is important: working with your ideal clients makes you and your team happy. Pretty simple, but not easy. Proud to work with them.

I thought I was a sales guy, until I really started doing it daily. I’m a big mouth by nature and had big problems with this one. I have to train myself daily to listen 👂🏻 and stop talking 🙊 . I think it belongs to the little list of super powers of personal effectiveness (another one I have on there is mastering delegation). Just try it in a conversation. And suddenly there it is: “and what about you?” “what are your thoughts?” 💪🏻 similar experience s?

Dinner and drinks with clients: they just work. It’s efficient and effective. Agree? PS: the building is not ours. We are building our business inside it.

Just wrote this on our office whiteboard. Do you know why there were so little posts here the last couple of weeks? Because there were a lot of positive challenges in building the business. Yes we have great ambitions. But that’s just worthless without ‘the people’. Our team is growing fast, and that’s so beautiful to see. But the ‘people’ is also working with the clients we want. Happy employees + happy customers = long term business success due to a vision coming true. #businessgrowth #startupfounders #businessowners #teambuilding #scaleup #ambitions #vision #businessgoals #entrepreneurs #youngentrepreneurs #engineers #teamwork #companyculture

I do this particular workout once a week. This was the 101st time 😅. Sometimes it’s hard to motivate myself, sometimes it’s easy. But the more I respect the schedule, the easier. That’s habit formation. When I quit for eg 2 weeks its difficult to find the routine again. I now always book a hotel with fitness when travelling long distances. #gymbook #workout #entrepreneur #startupfounders #worklife #fitdad

I am proud father of 3 little kids. Life as a parent is what I call ‘special’. If it impacts your life? If you have to manage your time better? DEFINETELY. However what you learn throughout the years, is to integrate YOUR life and THEIR life better. Your expectations become more realistic (eg instead of saying ‘I will complete this list of things today’ you will say ‘let’s aim for getting this done, but realise that we might not get there’. Raising them well simply takes not only time, but also emotional effort. Building deep emotional bonds of trust is an investment. But if you ask me: a very good investment. Why? It’s kind of light military training. You get hardened. And you learn to manage better. You become patient. And above all: you learn to give more. They make you a better person.

You can share knowledge as much as you want, as long as the speed of your new knowledge accumulation exceeds the speed of your dissemination. But even then, it’s application that matters. You can aim for winning the local quiz, or you can aim for using it to build the life you want. And once you’re doing that, you would like to share everything you know. Any book readers reading this?

Reading #life3.0 about how artificial intelligence is changing, will change and might change our lives. 1 thing is sure. The impact will be vast. It’s timing that is uncertain. This pic shows a major milestone in AI: a computer beating a human in the 2 millennia old game of Go. Highly intriguing that we dont have to program a lot with AI. It starts from a blank page and starts learning. Just like humans but faster. And it doesnt need flesh and blood, and sleep... Are you also curious about the future?

I was lecturing to 3rd bachelor students @ugent. It’s always funny to see 20-22y olds reacting if you tell them about marrying at 23 and becoming father at 24. But one thing is sure: we underestimate what can happen in just a few years. My take homes here:
👉Parenting is exactly like running a business. It’s challenging and rewarding if done right.
👉It’s never too early to start your business or other dream. Just start and learn. That’s the process.
What are your thoughts?

In a startup there’s a lot of work, but a lack of hands. And more roles than people. So initially you have many hats 🎩. The magic of course is to delegate a bit more with each new hire to free yourself, so you can do what you’re best at. We are now hiring which is a challenge, but also a great relief. Do you recognise this situation? Let me know.👇🏻 #startups #startupfounder #foundingteam #scaleyourbusiness #techstartup #enterpreneur #entrepreneurship #growthmindset #hiring #businessgrowth #jobs #multitasking #ceo #companyfounder #startupteam #delegation #skills #personalstrength #managingoneself #managingpeople #teamwork @ugent

This is what I learned by talking to a huge variety of entrepreneurs during the last 3 days. And this is why they can all help each other, for free. Let’s not reinvent the wheel. There’s a difference between struggling and struggling well. A difference between working hard and working hard and smart. It’s about acceleration.
Agree?

At a business training in Brussels. @carlvandevelde your quote makes sense. Mindset determines our actions, actions determine our results. We are master of our own results 💪🏻🚀💪🏻
