Zat great insights, “When you think of a company like Apple or Tesla, you feel something”.
Think of how children would turn out differently if education made them feel something. If they infused in them a great vision for their life. That they were educated in finding their WHY.

The Right Woman Is Better Than The Best One
Marry a wife that can pray, stay and slay. But if you can’t marry a wife that can do all three, then marry a wife that can at least pray because no wife will stay except she can first pray. Do note that the right woman is better than the best woman. The best woman has the body you…

The infamous cubicle. Not everyone is willing to put in the work, and everyone hates the idea of being in a 9–5 job.
Far from you is a person wanting to get in, inside the corporate job you are working on. It’s more easy to see the positive side once you appreciate how badly others would want to take your place.
I agree a startup creator is driving by purpose, by creating something new which will improve people’s life.

Agreed: Predictable, consistent communication is a valuable brand asset. The kind that says, we’re experts, and we’re here if you need us. The kind that keeps a brand top-of-mind. It’s like seeing a favorite restaurant in the same location, year after year. It inspires confidence. Brand communication should do the same. Many thanks for an important reminder.

Documenting the processes while building a company has been of great help for us!
From Day 1 of starting our company we decided that we will need a lot of content to help build the brand. At the same time we decided that documenting the journey of building DULO is going to be our content strategy.
