“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.”

Hi !
Are we being manipulated by the media companies and social networks? Many say we are. I say we let them. Of course there have to be controls and regulation but, at the end of the day, we're the one who decide what and when to share. Caution is always a good

Topics in this newsletter include the adoption of the four-day work week, Facebook and its recent troubles, Instagram tactics, and Elon Musk communication
Until next week, have a great weekend, and keep making things happen,
