Hello and welcome. This is the first episode of 2020 and the last episode talking about 2019. We have entered a new decade and I wanted to dedicate this episode to some interesting facts and stories that happened to me back in 2019.
It was a fruitful year, full of ups and downs. I have started many new projects including Splinter Business Stories Podcast. Its been a couple of months but I definitely have fun preparing stories for you and having this open discussion with everyone and anyone.
One of my good friends said that there is a "grace period" for saying Happy New Year and this is my chance to wish you all the best for 2020. May this year bring new challenges, new prospects, and new great experiences.
In this Episode:
Lesson 1: You really can handle more than one job.
Lesson 2: Burnout is real
Lesson 3: Sometimes they come back. But for good or bad?
Lesson 4: Always trust your guts!
Lesson 5: Always take 100%Payment in Advance
Lesson 6: Confidence opens all the doors and saves your burning butt
Lesson 7: Always deliver
Lesson 8: Make a choice which is better for you
Lesson 9: Stay honest
Lesson 10: Stay healthy
In 2020 I want to wish you all health. No matter how great your plans are. If you have a severe cold, you won't be able to accomplish anything until you recover. Sometimes small details such as the sore throat or a cough can jeopardize the lifetime opportunity. I am not even talking about serious diseases many people struggle with every day.
I want you to stay healthy. I want you to be obsessed with your ideas. I want you to have a dream of your own. I want you to try a new dish and discover a new country. I want you to fall in love, it might be the worst or the best thing that happened to in your life, I want you to fall in love again if you already have your significant one, I want you to speak up when you see injustice happening, I want you to find and return somebody’s phone, and see this sparkle of hope in their eyes, I want you to stay honest with yourselves. Don't do something you don't want or don't like. Don't meet people whom you can't stand, don't waste time reading a boring book.
Start learning a new language...But as one my old old old Turkish friend said once, you can't learn English without knowing the taste of a tongue of a lovely English girl...Soo be open for adventures!
Happy New Year. Merry Christmas if you celebrate it on 7th and oh Happy Happy Old New Year!
