Crowdfunding Update #1 For “Being A Digital Nomad”
A week ago I started my first crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, aiming to raise $9000 to finish, publish and promote my next book, “Being A Digital Nomad”. It’s, of course, more of an experiment than a prerequisite, this whole crowdfunding campaign, since I am writing the book anyway, and, as a self-published author (also translated [...]
Crowdfunding My Next Book Through Indiegogo – The Experiment
My next book, “Being A Digital Nomad” will be crowdfuned using Indiegogo. Now, I’ve said it. What’s Indiegogo, you asked? Hello there, alien! Because, you know, if you didn’t hear about Indoegogo so far, it means you’re from Mars or something. Indiegogo is the largest crowdfunding platform available now. If you’re more into the tech [...]
The Hardest Run I Ever Ran
Almost two years ago, sometimes in July 2011, on a hot summer morning, here I am, on an alley in one of the biggest parks in Bucharest, all dressed up and geared up, ready to pick up running again. I have told myself so many times that I will start running and never actually did [...]
The Martin Eden Effect
One of my favorite books, as a teenager, was Martin Eden, by Jack London. I’m sure many of you heard about it, and perhaps some of you even read it. I wouldn’t say it’s one of my top 10 books right now – people do change, to some extent – but it’s still a nice [...]
My Top 100 Self-Improvement Posts
At the moment of writing this post, there are more than 650 articles on this blog. Some of them are about business, some of them are about digital nomading, but most of them are about self-improvement. As I was looking at the most popular self-improvement posts this morning, I realized there’s quite a difference between [...]
Why I Don’t Like Magical, Wish-granting Fishes
You know the story: a fisherman catches a magic fish, which can actually grant 3 (or more) wishes. The fisherman then asks for the most important 3 wishes, fish grants them, everybody lives happily ever after. Well, I don’t buy that. Don’t get me wrong. I do think those “magic fishes” are real. I’m convinced [...]
What If Life Is Just A Giant Scuba Diving Session?
Never did scuba diving, but I saw a lot of people doing it. I’m also a very big fan of underwater filming and, generally speaking, of whatever happens under the waters. Don’t know why, I’ve always been like this. Today, without any warning, while looking at a documentary about sea creatures around New Zealand shore, [...]
The Inner Desert And The Outside Rainforest
The Amazon rainforest is probably the most luxurious, rich and spectacular ecosystem in the world. Colorful, alive and overwhelming, exploding with life at any second, this rainforest is probably the archetype of what life, in its primal, unlimited expression, can be. On the other hand, Sahara is probably the deadliest place on this planet. Dry, [...]
The Cocoon
One of the words I really like is “calibration”. I don’t know if it’s the word, or the action, but I often think in terms of calibration. For instance, every time I start a new project, I calibrate my effort. I do a few trials and see how much I can commit to that project. [...]
2012 – The Aftermath
I know I already sketched the most important things I did in 2012, but, following the tradition on this post I’ll do an aftermath too. Technically, this post is written in the last hours of 2012, but I decided to publish it in the very first hour of 2013, for beauty reasons. It just looks [...]
30 Things I Did In 2012
Although, technically, we still have 2 more weeks until the end of the year, I decided to publish this blog post right now. I know many things can (and, according to my schedule, will) happen in the next two weeks, but I needed a time and place for this blog post. It’s a recap. A [...]
