THE ERA OF FREE

free labour (internships, volunteer jobs, online contests,

etc)

free content (movies, music, news etc)

…

creating expectations of free

3 traits that will help you

succeed:

1) Self-confidence

2) Durability

3) Creativity

Self-confidence

A belief in yourself and your ability to get through

life’s challenges.

Self-confidence is based on your own internal

motivating factors: believing in your ideas and

believing in your ability to find solutions.

Durability

Allow yourself to fail. That’s probably one of the

hardest things to do as a human being, but you

need to learn through experience that it’s okay to

fail at something even if you tried hard.

Learn to find solutions for your own recovery after

failure.

Durability is a mindset.

Creativity

The economic culture of today simply doesn’t reward

good qualifications, experience, knowledge, loyalty,

enthusiasm or hard work.

It demands you to be creative, to solve problems by

finding creative solutions (intrapreneurship &

entrepreneurship).

This is a skill that will help you your entire life

regardless of whether you end up working for a

company or for yourself.

Secrets of success

Happiness - know yourself, values, passions -

create your own world of happiness

Business - you/your

skills/talents/knowledge/experience is a product

and a brand. Understand business and marketing

principles.

Community - reputation, networking, relationships.

Focus on:

• Science

• Art

• Technology

Use your good thinking skills:

…we start using this method as babies…see next slide…

Art

The expression of your Self and the way you

experience and understand Life.

Pay attention to your observations and emotions.

Is technology a tool or a landscape?

The new “fire”?

Find the tech that’s right for you to make the most of every moment:

Reputation/Self-Branding…the art of selling yourself or

even a great scientific invention might not help, because…

When you walk out the door, they keep walking with their fingers - online.

Your reputation is what people say when you walk out the door and also what

they find about you online.
