Journal 14 Eve Herrera September 23
🎈🎂✨ 26 years & 26 *professional* learnings in this life ↓
1. You can’t go wrong with being authentic
You can go wrong with acting as someone you are not
But nobody can do you better than you
Be you
2. Delegation is key to maximizing your impact
The more you delegate, the more you will be able to execute
Think of delegation as the compound interest in finances
You are buying your future self more time
3. To make a difference you must have skin in the game
Being half in half out won’t get you there
4. Caring is powerful
Caring makes you curious, run the extra mile, and do an exceptional job.
Find something you care about and make it your profession.
5. I thought friends were a distraction
So I’d shoot out of any plans and just focus on my computer.
The truth is that the right friends will teach you and make you grow – jumping through trampolines instead of the boring foot-by-foot stairs. Thanks Carolina Ocampo and Manuela Velez for being my life guides.
6. The power of your personality & soft skills shouldn’t be underestimated.
Sure, an MBA and a huge resume will open many doors for you.
But your energy and eagerness will open many doors too.
Choose your fighter – or have both.
7. Even if conditions are not perfect, the show must go on.
Your context might not be perfect or the one you desire.
But things keep moving and your time keeps passing.
RUN YOUR SHOW!
8. Life can be colorful –
You can mix colors
You can mix hobbies and passions
You can mix different groups of friends
Have fun mixing 🍹
9. It’s a privilege to know someone’s story.
We care about love – to love and to be loved
We care about success – professional / financial
Someone opening up to you = a chance to learn the lessons firsthand
Enjoy it.
10. The world is big
And it might happen that things you want to change are bigger than you
Macroeconomics and great business stories are an inspiration
Choose how to beat the monster
11. Play to win ≠ Play not to lose
Playing to win is going all-in after what you want, doing whatever it takes, and executing in an impressive way
And deep inside we all know what we’re playing for…
What are you playing for?
Answer this question and then make a proactive decision on how you want to continue.
12. Thinking big doesn’t hurt:
One of the biggest life hacks is allowing yourself to think big and jump into new perspectives in the blink of an eye.
The “how” is easy (psst…chatGPT)
The “what” is hard!
And a good WHAT must come from thinking big.
13. Whatever makes your brain & body operate better, is worth it –
For me,
5-star hotel lobby, laptop, and airpods
Having a clean *paper* agenda to shoot down ideas
Go for a run before a day full of meetings and to-do’s
Is worth making recurrent what makes you more productive
and………….
turns out I only have 13
this year will bring me the next 13
cheers!
Eve
