Starting Y

There are many different reasons why people choose to start new businesses, projects, or habits. For some, it may be a lifelong dream to be their own boss and control their own destiny. Others may be driven by the challenge of creating something new and innovative. And still, others may simply be seeking a better work-life balance or more independence. Whatever the reason, entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. It requires a special mindset and a willingness to take risks. Serial entrepreneur and investor Gary Vaynerchuk once said, "The question shouldn't be 'Can you do this?' The real question is 'Will you do this?'" only those who are truly passionate about their work and committed to seeing it through will find success as entrepreneurs. Of course, starting a new business is not limited to entrepreneurs. Artists, writers, and other creatives often have to start from scratch with each new project. And anyone embarking on a new habit or lifestyle change has to go through a period of adjustment as they establish the necessary routines and practices.

    Happy New Year - Now Tackle 2023

    Happy 2023 and a happy new year of the rabbit.  Today we bring you another episode on the Starting Y Podcast, where we talk about the WHY of Entrepreneurship. This new year, Michelle and Jörn are getting together to discuss their plans for the future. Both entrepreneurs are passionate about chasing their dreams and helping others do the same. The topic of their discussion: what to change, since the new year is already here. At the forefront of this conversation is how Michelle and Jörn can get more productive, healthier, and stay focused throughout the year.  Jörn started intermediate fasting from one day to another, he does not need a year to go by to promise to get better the next one. Michelle is currently experimenting with having two work days in one, meaning she plans mornings and afternoons as separate workdays with dedicated schedules and goals. Also, she treats quarters as years and squeezes as much in 3 months, as she used to into a whole year.  Jörn is having one hour each week on Mondays the “hour of the skunk” together with a friend where they hold each other accountable for doing their least favorite thing e.g. accounting, cold calls, and so on. The Host: Michelle, a radio, and podcast host based in Silicon Valley. She is a lawyer by training and has worked in and with many startups, especially fintech and blockchain. Currently, she is working for several non-profit organizations and startups. Michelle is the host of the Stanford Radio Show “Laptop Radio (Wednesdays 2–4 PM)”, which is also available as a podcast (https://linktr.ee/laptopradio).
