LE007: Start a Business with Nick Timms and Eduarda Bardavid
Do you know how to start a business? Good ideas are not enough! You need much more to start a successful business!
You need a lot of learning, to decide to start changing what you were doing, to have a plan B, to seek help from experts and mentors, to have a plan and, most importantly, to know how to execute on your plan.
In this episode, I’d like to invite you to listen a wonderful interview of 2 young people with wonderful ideas: Nick Timms & Eduarda Bardavid who are the founders of Drag, a productivity application for Gmail!
Drag is a new fresh application to help you organize your life and business in Gmail. It is designed to help you organize your inbox more effectively and convert your inbox to a project and task manager for all the things you have to do in your day!
The idea of making Gmail a more organized place and a central place to manage your projects and to-dos is not new. What is new though is the idea to use a well-proven paradigm for today’s startup companies (the Kanban approach) into your e-mail sphere.
That’s the Drag created! And the idea came from two young people, the Nick Timms and the Eduarda Bardavid who conceived the original idea and execute upon it developing a company with more than 22,000 people following its lead.
Nick and Eduarda “start business” having a good idea, a solid plan, and help from experts and mentors who help them to refine their plan and execute it.
LE006: What Makes You Special?
I was thinking this question when I was aiming at meeting an old friend! Not that my friend has nothing to do with the content of the question. Not at all.
He was a very special and gifted person, lovable to all and with a lot of distinctions in his professional field! But meeting him made me think some things!
Things I’d like to share with you!
I made this podcast with the ideas I have developed in this article!
My main argument is that action does not suffice to bring the results you want.
It needs to combine together thought and action in order to achieve your objectives in life and business.
