🛟❓️ is asking for help a sign of weakness or embarassing? I think we can't do it all alone and we also can't be an expert in every single field. In our complex world today are so many opportunities that often need support from experts. If we don't get advise from experts, we are more likely to fail or also use tons of more time, which also means using up more money! Same is true for building up your own company. You can try to do it all alone and yet you will need more time to get everything done - if we are lucky and everything runs smooth to our expextations. Another possibility when building up a startup is finding the right quality investor. And here I can support you 🌞 If you have a sound business concept and are looking for investments in Europe, you can send me your company deck and after reviewing it we can strive forward together as I am Ambassador of the @Swiss Chamber of Commerce of the Netherlands 💡🌞 I believe asking for support is a sign of smartness and strenght!! #startups #communication #empathy #businessidea #innovation

The act of helping and expressing gratitude are deeply interconnected and play a significant role in enhancing our well-being. Engaging in helping behavior not only benefits the recipient but also fosters a sense of community and connection for the helper. Gratitude, on the other hand, is an emotion that transcends mere appreciation; it's a deeper recognition of the goodness in our lives and the external sources of this positivity. By practicing gratitude, we can shift our focus from negative to positive aspects of life, which can lead to increased life satisfaction and hope. Together, helping and gratitude create a virtuous cycle that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us. #wellbeing #mangement #leadership #humanresources #CEO #operations

❤️ Are you living a purposeful life? ❤️ My joy cup runs over in helping others and my joy cup runs over when someone helps me. I saw this video from the viewpoint of helping and the post below saw it as willingness to ask for help when needed. Either way, I love being the helper and the recipient of help. As a problem solver, I like to have a 30k foot viewpoint on being solution focused and collaborating with others. I don’t see it as a weakness but an opportunity to gain wisdom and insight from others. There is so much more that I don’t know than I do know 🤣 My teachers always giggled about how many questions I asked and how I started each one of them, “Mrs. Neville, I’ve got a question for you…” Being a parent of a child that asks no less than a 100 questions a day, I remind myself that I wouldn’t be where I am today without asking questions and won’t be where I’ll be in 10 years if I don’t ask them ❤️ Be the one that’s not embarrassed to ask questions. 🙋🏻♀️ Be the one that goes the extra mile to help another.🏃🏻♀️ You might just find life is a little sweeter 🧁 and meaningful. 🥰 Cheers to living and leading a purpose driven mission. 🥂 Shine on 😎 #bethegood #servantleadership #seektounderstand #purposedriven

🚀 Exciting Insights from Techpoint Africa Pitch Friday! 🌟 Last Friday, I attended Techpoint Africa Pitch Friday, and it was an insightful session with Nneka Eze and Babatunde Akin Moses. Here are a few important things I learned: 👌Mistakes Founders Make When Coming Up with Startup Ideas: •Getting too attached to their idea and not thinking enough about the problem they're trying to solve. •Forgetting to ask people for their opinions, which can help improve their idea. •Not changing their idea when they get feedback, which can make it hard for their business to grow. 👌Where Good Ideas Come From: Good ideas can come from asking questions, doing research, brainstorming with others, and keeping an eye on what's happening in the market. 👌Things Investors Care About in a Pitch: When pitching to investors, founders must address key elements to capture their interest and secure funding. These include: •Market Opportunity: Investors seek startups addressing sizable and growing market opportunities, with the potential for significant returns. •Market Size: Demonstrating a clear understanding of the target market's size and potential for expansion is essential for validating the opportunity. •Target Audience: Identifying and understanding the target audience allows founders to tailor their solution to meet specific needs and preferences effectively. •Competitor Analysis: Thorough analysis of competitors helps founders differentiate their offering and articulate their unique value proposition. •Scalability: Investors prioritize startups with scalable business models capable of achieving rapid growth and capturing market share efficiently. These are important things to keep in mind if you're starting a business or trying to get investors interested. Let's me know your view in the comment section! #Techpoint #Startup #Entrepreneurship #Pitch #Innovation #InvestmentOpportunity
