Dear friends,⁣
⁣
Let’s talk today about Fundamental Principle of Marketing : Scarcity.⁣
⁣
How scarcity marketing works?⁣
⁣
Scarcity marketing is based on one very simple, primal principle: fear motivates people to act. This can be fear of almost anything: fear of missing out, fear of social embarrassment, fear of inadequacy…you get the idea.⁣
⁣
Putting scarcity to work for you⁣
⁣
As it turns out, two-day shipping and other services that indulge the “I want it now” side of the market have actually increased the effectiveness of scarcity marketing. People simply aren’t used to limited supplies or having to wait for something, so scarcity has an even bigger impact than used to.⁣
⁣
This is good news because it means that you don’t have to be a giant company with a decades-old brand to make scarcity marketing work. ⁣
⁣
However, scarcity marketing only works if you do it right. If you try to create scarcity around a product or service that is widely available or does not have an element of uniqueness or quality to it, you’ll just end up driving potential customers elsewhere.⁣
⁣
But, if you pick a product or service with inherent value, scarcity marketing can significantly increase the perceived value of your offer and turn something that could be commonplace into something people will fight for.⁣

Dear friends,⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are back at it again!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So how do you actually build a habit, and transform a habit into a discipline?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As you begin, here are a couple of golden tips to keep you on track and provide you the best chance at success:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
– Forming a habit takes discipline, but reminding yourself of the ultimate reason WHY you’re making this change will help you stick to it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
– Work toward forming habits that can fit into your life in the long run, not just a limited amount of time. Focus on developing a lifestyle that will yield the results you desire.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
– Begin with incremental improvements to your routine. You don’t have to do it all at once. If you manage your expectations, you can celebrate all of the small results you achieve along the way. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
– Don’t get down on yourself for making a mistake or two here and there. Be willing to course correct. You don’t have to be perfect to have a measurable impact on forming long-term habits.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Truly yours,⁣⁣

Dear friends,⁣
⁣
We welcome you again!⁣
⁣
During this rainy evening, we were talking about different things, and realized that it is time to emphasize the following: Power of Today & Choices.⁣
⁣
When you start to think about the future, lots of times you may perceive that nothing is in your control. Yet we believed in a totally different vision, luckily - most of the things that happen in your life, you either attract, can predict or can prepare for them.⁣
⁣
How you will be positioning yourself, and what your days will look like, depends on - What kind of habits you will adapt, at this very moment, not tomorrow, but Today!⁣
⁣
What kind of information you will be sharing, and injecting in your own system, depends of who your average friend is. Therefore conversation topics immediately show what kind of human being you are.⁣
⁣
People that you spend time with, at this very moment - show your practical choice, and coping mechanisms. Every person surrounding you, influences your system in one or another way, some may be positive, some may be very negative 🙂 ⁣
⁣
The choice of food and beverages that you consume Today, impact how well your hormones and entire system will be balanced, therefore make sure to educate yourself on proper diet.⁣
⁣
Books that you read, literally stand for the knowledge that you obtain, if you fail to deliver that knowledge to yourself, you may suffer - since the market will kick you out of the equation. ⁣
⁣
Make sure to pragmatically, cynically, analyze your current situation, make an action plan and build up towards your future, this way you will demolish the goals, and become the version of yourself by continuously choosing the right thing, TODAY! 🙂⁣

Dear friends, ⁣
⁣
Today we want to talk about your working environment.⁣
⁣
Coworking Isn’t Free⁣
⁣
Even though you’ll save money by coworking vs. renting out a whole building, coworking still isn’t free. The biggest perk to a home office is that you are already paying for the space, so working from home is essentially free (and you can even deduct some of it on your taxes!)⁣
⁣
Coworking prices can vary based on location, but you still have to decide if it is worth the price. Are you bringing enough income in to rent a desk or office? Do you need the room to grow? Do you have a team?⁣
⁣
All of these questions will determine whether coworking is a better option for you. From a money (and money saving) perspective, a home office could win hands down, but that’s only if you need a completely free option. If you’re looking for a great option in Silicon Valley, try Bootup. It’s where our office is located and we love it.⁣
⁣
A Home Office Allows For Distractions⁣
⁣
While a coworking space may set you back a little money each month, they are designed to make you more productive. A coworking space environment allows entrepreneurs the freedom to move around, but it also gives them the opportunity to have control over their work.⁣
⁣
In a home office, many entrepreneurs get sidetracked by housework, kids, their pets, or a multitude of other distractions. While you may be thinking that you could always close the door to your home office, it’s a lot easier said than done. With a coworking space, you are there to work, and there are a lot less distractions to make sure you stay on track.⁣
⁣
Choice is yours, yet make a right one,⁣
⁣
We personally love to combine both, while loads of times we work at home, sometimes we just go to the closest Coworking space in Antwerp and spend some quality time there.⁣
⁣
Truly yours,⁣

Dear friends,⁣
⁣
Today we wanted to give you a proper guideline, a little bit visualized.⁣
⁣
So what happens when we start that overthinking process? We totally get caught up in the moment forgetting that there is a bigger picture down below. ⁣
⁣
Everything starts with a problem, and in our daily lives we face quite a few of them. ⁣
⁣
Yet, we should never, ever forget, that whether we can change something about it or not - worrying is the worst choice, always. ⁣
⁣
Whenever you worry you just miss out on the point of executing, solving the problem. You enter in that vicious, dramatic cycle of stress, which is totally not needed. ⁣
⁣
Golden tip? Do not worry.⁣
⁣
Without worries you can properly turn on your rational thinking and solve the problem.⁣
⁣
Make sure to analyze the steps of solving your issue.⁣
⁣
With best wishes,⁣
⁣

Dear friends,⁣
⁣
We welcome you again! ⁣
⁣
Today it’s time to talk about Energy, or so called Vibes.⁣
⁣
Have you ever experienced, a situation when you like someone, or totally feel awkwarded by someones presence? The intense feeling of being uncomfortable, because people simply do not match with your chemistry or energy.⁣
⁣
Well, guess what, that’s a very normal thing, sincerely because every human being has an Aura, and that Aura you can expand with your assertivity, or diminish while being totally passive.⁣
⁣
Have you ever seen a big public speaker like Tony Robbins, vibing up the entire arena’s? Well that’s where assertivity, combined with competence and proper energy output comes in place.⁣
⁣
Have you ever seen your favorite artist performing during his/her show? That’s another type of explosion caused by a tremendous output of ones body, aura, vibrance.⁣
⁣
Have you ever noticed in the mean time how some people, diminish themselves, forgetting about their body language, and totally become passive, ashamed, perhaps trying to hide? That’s the passive behavior of ones subconscious. ⁣
⁣
Therefore, we encourage you to show yourself, to empower your assertivity, to show your confidence, and let that Aura shine and burn!⁣
Yet if it is not ignited yet, make sure to find that inner peace, and strive towards the perfect harmony within. ⁣
⁣
With loads of love and burning passion,⁣
⁣
Truly yours 🙏🏻

Dear friends,⁣
⁣
Let’s talk about small moments in life.⁣
⁣
Have you ever wondered, maybe it is time to slow down. Time to stop overthinking, or perhaps stop thinking too fast.⁣
While making those ridiculous, bad choices, or drawning in uncontrollable situations. ⁣
⁣
Therefore we advise, take a minute, breathe, give it a moment to chill down, and boost up your appreciation.⁣
⁣
Only while appreciating the small moments, small wins, you can learn how to maximally develop the strength to perform at the higehest capacity. If you fail to enjoy the bumpiest rides, you will never be able to enjoy the biggest wins. Love the grind, the hustle, the daily things.⁣
⁣
We wish you loads of tenacity and mental power to overcome everything that’s bothering you, while shifting the gears and changing your focus towards the things that give you the most joy.⁣
⁣
With kindest wishes,⁣
⁣
Truly yours,⁣

Dear friends,⁣ ♥️
⁣
Today we want to talk about discipline.⁣
⁣
According to a 2013 study by Wilhelm Hoffman, people with high self control are happier than those without. The study discovered this is true because the self disciplined subjects were more capable of dealing with goal conflicts. ⁣
⁣
These people spent less time debating whether to indulge in behaviors detrimental to their health, and were able to make positive decisions more easily. The self disciplined did not allow their choices to be dictated by impulses or feelings. Instead, they made informed, rational decisions on a daily basis without feeling overly stressed or upset.⁣
⁣
Couple of tips on top of that:⁣
⁣
1) Remove temptations. ⁣
2) Eat regularly and healthily.⁣
3) Don’t wait for it to “feel right.”⁣
4) Schedule breaks, treats, and rewards for yourself. ⁣
5) Forgive yourself and move forward.⁣
⁣
Make sure to remain consistent and always boost up the best version of yourself,⁣
⁣
Truly yours,⁣🔥

Dear friends, ✌🏻⁣
⁣
Today we wanted to ask you quite a straight question, and perhaps make you think about a change.⁣
⁣
From what we have noticed there is a tremendous difference between how people utilize the tools that modern technology gives us. ⁣
⁣
Namely, only 1 out of every 5 people, chooses to educate, hustle, develop income streams, while the rest are simply procrastinating and losing their valuable time on our mother earth. ⁣
⁣
Afterwards 4/5 people decide to complain, how bad everything is, how unsuccessful, underpaid, miserable they are. Well - that’s a fair deal we say. ⁣
⁣
“Every choice has a consequence, good choices - make you grow, bad ones - make you suffer”. ⁣
⁣
Be mindful, even though you may have treated your life as 80%, it is never late to make a change. Today, a small step towards your goal, towards you dream, towards your empowerment. ⁣
⁣
It takes only one step and a little mixture of discipline & patience - to achieve whatever you want in this life. Sounds like a big deal? ⁣
⁣
Hell no! If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot. ⁣
⁣
If you have difficulties, DM us and we will try to help! ⁣
⁣
We believe in each and everyone of you!🙏🏻⁣
