Entrepreneur?

Hi.

I like to think of myself as an entrepreneur. Lately, I’ve been exposed to wonderful people and books that shaped my view of my life and the way I want to live them, the way I work on my projects and what motivates me.

If you are feeling lost, you don’t know if the path of entrepreneurship is really for you because maybe you can work for some firm and make $$$ and thats maybe enough for you – before committing to something please read the next books and blogs.

Gary Vaynerchuck & Crush It – Gary Vaynerchuck is amazing. really. His a successful entrepreneur, and by successful I mean He does what he loves and passioned about while making money from it. He wrote a book called “Crush It” that I read lately, and I really really recommend you to read it too. If you’re not convinced,  watch this talk of his, and this interview. And really do it right now, because for the right people it can be life changing.

Getting Real by 37Signals – This book, which is available reading online for free, shows you a so much different angle for web development from what you might have known so far. The lessons learned in this book can be easily used it all sorts of startups. This book was recommended by Tim Ferris and written by 37Signals staff – which is one of the successful web development companies .

Tim Ferris – Angle investor, very intelligent and highly experienced entrepreneur. There is a lot you can learn from Tim, just follow his blog and twitter account, read his book “The 4-hour Work Week” and your mind will be blown.

As I said, those resources change the way I think about startup, about working on a project, and about life really. – I want to do what I love and enjoy, and I’ll do anything to establish it.

Udi.

Dealing with your problems

I read SitePoint’s Article about dealing with stress, and well – the method can work for every issue you have.
In order to fix a problem – you first have to know it exists and be aware of that (Step 1).
So if for instance you are shy, and you want to change it about you, you have to figure out why you’re acting shy, what triggers it. It could be low self-esteem [probably is] and then you figure out what makes you now believe in yourself.

After you figured out the problem and the cause, its time to fix it (Step 2). I believe the best way to fix a problem is just doing the right thing to matter how scared you are. If you’re afraid from public speaking – just start talking to a bunch of people. It may seem hard at first, but after a while you notice that its not such a big deal.

Remember, there is no need for psychological treatment, everyone who’s strong enough can decide to change, to act differently, and over time you just change.
