Obsession
“Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head” – came to my mind as I scrolled through the timeline and saw this image of firefighters resting after a long battle for the life of this part of the earth. Greece, August 2025.
When you are obsessed with your purpose in life, fully invested in your day-to-day tasks related to this purpose, you might find yourself in a situation where you will not care about what others think.
You will not care about the discomfort of others.
You will not care about the discomfort of your own.
Goal. Purpose. Life.

Would you prefer to write books that matter or books that sell?
If you had to choose… -
If you want the weight of your daily struggles to feel lighter the solution is to set bigger goals.
So that you have bigger problems to focus on. Seriously.

Authenticity is a New Currency

Why do I release courses free?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t release all courses free. But I understand the situations when ppl don’t have money, and they still want to learn.
When I release free courses guess what happens: people rush to enrol!!!
Did you believe what I have just said above? You shouldn’t have.
And if you did, here is the issue: the less you request for the course the less people value it. Fact. Checked. Verified.
I teach people for 10 years now, 5 of them through prerecorded materials. People just can enrol and study. But they usually don’t.
Firstly, for the reason described above:
Any free course is considered less valuable.
It doesn’t matter if you have squeezed the knowledge you carefully accumulated over the years, structured it, broken into digestible pieces, made presentations, recorded tutorials, and told all of your family to “shut up!” (gently it would sound “be quiet”) for a week so that I could record the lessons.
It doesn’t matter that you have invested your time and soul.
Price matters: the course is more attractive when the price is biting.
Secondly, for the reason that it is not about the course at all. When people want to achieve something and the opportunity presents itself, there are always another reasons you can’t go for it right now.
– A free course available only now? Oh such a shame.. I am on my vocation.. I am busy with kids.. I have to work double shift.. I don’t have pc.. I am in the hospital… I am on the moon.
Those things signal about mental blocks. They still from you. First opportunities. Then your dreams. Then your life.
Don’t let them.
I will still keep releasing my free courses time to time, for those who are fed up with agreeing to walk on the sidewalk. If it is you. See my previous post and grab this course.

The vision takes time to be born
Dear reader! Looking at what you are doing online, the project you are working on, and the ideas you propel, I can instantly see how to make you famous and influential. How to make you a history maker, a legacy builder. But passing this vision down to you turned out to be more challenging than I thought.
They say one image is worth a 1000 words. I say: one clear image of how and where to move is worth 1000 hours. Malcolm Gladwel says 10000 ).
Dear reader, you have great ideas, and many good projects are sitting in your head. They might perish there, never revealed to the world due to many factors. Some of them are related to mental blocks, others to not knowing what steps to take and how to move strategically. Some of them are related to sporadic movement, which only leads to a waste of time and energy. But the main reason is an unclear image of your future.
What do you need to have this image? 3 things:
1. See (and clearly understand) your passion to change something specific (improve, invent, show a different perspective, create a system or solution)
2. See people’s needs, pain, and suffering you want to resolve, soothe, eradicate. See means: feel them, understand them, get passionate about people who go through them. Know their stories. Know their pain.
3. Finally, see the steps on how to move from suffering to resolution with compassion. (Not only design, but test, and ensure it works.) Compassion is the key, because you can’t help if you are careless about what people go through.
Just those 3 things for starters are a long journey. The journey of understanding yourself and others. Unfortunately, I can’t put the map in 3 words or a 1-hour consultation, despite seeing it. My ability to see is in my years of understanding myself and others. It is not in marketing, product design.. or those technical things I teach. It is in compassion and understanding of human nature.
I do want to make this vision available to you. But sometimes It takes some students a few years to get a clear road map for themselves and their unique vision. Because to see, you have to grow, you have to get experience, you have to dig deep in yourself and in knowledge.
Reality is: you have to have patience. Nothing good is just born overnight.. There is time to grow in the “womb”. Same for a vision. Same for your life’s road map. For you to see it, it has to be born.

Knowledge is not equal success
I often consult experts who have a lot of knowledge, they have goals, they have confidence and know about their potential.
The only thing is missing is a strategy and systems that are tested and work. They agree with this.
However, when I say that to have strategy right and build systems you have to start over. Not only start over, but unlearn and learn again.
If it doesn’t work right now, it is because you are building on sand. That is why things look messy. You need to lay down right and solid foundation. And that will take you in the right direction.
Doesn’t matter what you know, although it is a bonus. Building on solid rock matters.

Let’s see how well you know me
Here are 10 things about me I probably haven’t told you, and # 6 was a secret till today.
1. I have started learning 8 languages, and 6 of them I didn’t take too far.. Never progressed with these ones:
– Arabic & French – Love the sound, just wanted to capture some basics,
– Ivrit – That was when I was looking for my vocation in school, I thought maybe I should focus on different languages,
– French & Spanish – wanted to add value to myself for job opportunities
– Italian – I was 18 and stupid and thought the Italian guy would propose.. thanks God he did not and I speak Greek instead
2. My Granny on father’s side was blind, but she was very strong and confident, so I never thought of her as a person with special needs. I adopted her confidence in myself, despite all downsides, I always knew there was a way, whatever happened!
3. My first job was at a furniture studio where I repaired old furniture with my friend (also a young girl). We did a full refurbishment of soft furniture pieces like armchairs and any type of sofa. Since then, I know I can be good at any job I choose.
4. I discovered entrepreneurship when I was 13. I was designing and sewing clothes for Barbie dolls, later I was selling snacks and beer on the street, and then I moved to candies and chewing gums (small items had a higher margin profit). Also, I was trying to hide my identity so that my classmates wouldn’t recognize me. Although I loved the feeling of winning in this area and doing well, I was ashamed of having the need for additional money. As my classmates were from families with full wallets.
5. As a teenager, I was dreaming of adopting children. I don’t know where this desire came from, as I hadn’t met by then someone who had adopted or someone who had been adopted. I have no idea what influenced this. I literally have seen it in a dream.
6. I stole a pig from the school in the second grade. Not the real one. We had little plastic pigs to learn to count to 20. We had to embark on a school excursion to a museum with the class, and the teacher had forgotten me and locked me in the classroom. I had to wait 3 hours for them to come back. I needed to pee, and I was struggling to stay still because of this
. So I opened the teacher’s closet to get distracted and decided to compensate myself with a small gift. When the teacher came back, I did not complain or cry; I was happy. The next year, younger pupils had to learn counting to 19 only.7. I had a natural talent for drawing since I was little. My mom tried to help me develop it and took me to the studio. But I was not accepted due to my age. Later, I had other interests and never came back to that studio. But I envied kids who did. I thought my drawings were better; however, I wanted to know the pro techniques.
8. I started my book writing career at the age of 11-12 when the physics teacher asked me to create an illustrated brochure about fire security. And I did. My 30 pages of A4 illustrated text instructions for kids won the competition between schools. I got my first “Sharp” calculator as a prize. I wasn’t told it was a competition.
disorder
9. I had an obsessive compulsive desorder from childhood till my 33 year. This disorder negatively impacted my personal and professional life. I healed it myself through the literature and conscious application of invented individual techniques for a few years. I simply couldn’t afford to work with a professional therapist. When I share with professionals the symptoms and methods I used to heal, they freeze in awe. Since then, I don’t understand why other people can’t do the same
10. I had such a minimalistic lifestyle in my 20s that I could pack my bags within 30 minutes and be ready to depart to another country on a contract when my agent called with an urgent invitation. My luggage was simple and light, and I was free.
PS: I have just remembered that I also learned German in school )

Your understanding of success
If you don’t have success in the area you want to have it, passionately desire it, and work for it…Then it means that your brain is protecting you from this success, because something negative is connected to your understanding of success.

How to spot psychological content produced by AI
Look out for phrases:
– Worse part..
– It’s not a character flow..
– You keep showing up..
– You are not broken..
Although this things are nice to hear and readers will appreciate for a short time. Once people will start to understand that it is a cookie cutter they will stop respecting you as an author.
Try replacing these phrases with other creative forms of speech.
Especially avoid using it in books. Find your own voice for the book. I have more to share on my book writing training that you should join. I am serious.

Why you have value to give, but you are nowhere yet
You have so much value inside and you just can’t put it out and make it public. Familiar?
Having value to share doesn’t always translate into knowing how to do it. But if you know, it still doesn’t mean you will start sharing.
Sharing you knowledge and wisdom publicly connected to more than being eloquent or social media literate. In this post I will cover key aspects that might stop you from starting to influence the public.
1. Let’s start with the goal. It is not possible to arrive to the desirable destination if you don’t know what do you want. You need to find the target you are trying to hit. Otherwise just like Alise in Wonderland you will hear : if you don’t know where do you want to get, then any road you take is correct. Thus, we start with the destination. And it is not that simple. That’s what stops the most.
2. Organized, structured thoughts, packaged ideas. If your ideas are not prepared for the audience to hear, then most probably you will have a very little impact. I know of a person who has taped into a controversial topic and instantly gained 100k subs on TikTok. However, this topic was not the one that was the person wanted to be known for, and he got stuck with audience that only wanted to hear him ruminating around the same thing. They did not come for what he could give and they don’t want to stay for what he wants to say. So having organized ideas corresponding with your goal, is what will make you happy to keep going.
3. Only on this stage you will need tools. Lots of information on how to do this and that is what you need. How to produce attractive video, how to create strategic transformation plan and educational materials, to push your message and initiate the change you wanted to bring to the society.
But this number 3 point is a trap if you can’t manage the number 4.
4. Discipline. I hated discipline but I found the way to work in a disciplined manner. You will also have to figure out your routine and pase that will lead you to result. The discipline is needed to stick to this routine for a long time. The discipline won’t work if you don’t figure out the number 5.
5. Work through the internal blocks. If you are over 22 y.o and still not where you are in terms of influence, despite wanting it, or thinking a out it.. it is because there are some internal blocks you need to overcome. Because if it was not for those stops you would open any door you wanted by now. You will have to meet yourself and have a serious talks. You might need to involve a professional too.
6. If you have all 5 then you just need patience, because it is not gonna happen fast. Everyone has their own time of arrival. It is not like you can hop on a bus and be there according to schedule. The life will throw one or two surprises which you will have to deal with. Everyone deals, and you are not going to be an exception. Something will distract you, or even stop you totally. It depends on your perseverance if you will stand up and keep moving.
7. The last point is for the sake of having 7 points because it looks nice. Nevertheless it is a useful tip I wish I would be told earlier. Your outcomes, your results, whether you will get to your destination or not depend on the speed you will choose. Choose wisely:
Too slow – you will lose interest. Most probably you will be so distracted that the dream will feel like just a dream, so far, that you will even forget you had it.
Too fast – you will burn out and constantly run out of resources. Continuous stress will have impact on all areas of your life. At some point you will have to choose something else over your dream: relationships, health or job … Because you have pushed too much. Before you start building sit and count whether you will be able to finish.
No wonder you have so many things inside of you and you just can’t put it out, make it shine and glow. Because deep inside, subconsciously you know about most of those points. That’s why you are where you are.
