Today's episode is a good one: "5 Things You DON'T Need in Your First 2 Years as an Entrepreneur." Yes, you heard it right. We are going against the grain and discussing what you don't need instead of what you do. So buckle up, and let's dive into this not-so-common territory!

In today's episode, we are exploring the myths of the advice that everybody and every business should niche down. But, are we limiting our growth, and our potential by niching down? Or is it a strategy to create a unique identity and value in an overly crowded world?

Let's find out together.

🧠 I don't know why but for some reason everybody wants to be perfect.⚡️

Why? I have some ideas why. Let's jump right into it.

This is the first episode of this podcast that I’m releasing as a youtube video!

🧠 What are your predictions for this year?⚡️

Making predictions about the future is hard: Nobody could have predicted last year's events and that we are currently going through a global pandemic.

However I do believe that it's worth to think about what is likely to happen in the future, because it helps challenge your own assumptions about how the world works.

In this episode I present my very own predictions for 2021 in the areas of work, private life, social media and consumer technology. I know we're already way into March, but I still thought it would be worthwhile to share my thoughts in this podcast.

I invite you of course to challenge my assumptions and predictions!

🧠 What can you learn from your competitors?⚡️

I recently got asked what my strategies are when dealing with competitors. When I started out with Senler Media I didn’t have the time to do a thorough market analysis. I had bills to pay, so I told myself I’ll focus on my work and worry about competition later.

I think the best thing you can do to remain competitive is to produce great and solid work. This is why competition is a good thing to me! I’m grateful to have competitors, the things they do inspire me, and they push me on to try new things.

For this episode I thought I’d tell you a couple of stories about how I approach working in the competitive environment of Social Media, and some of the competitive behaviours I’ve witnessed over the recent years.

🧠  Have you ever had to say goodbye to someone?⚡

A couple of weeks ago I got into a heavy car accident. Two days later my mother calls me and tells me that a close family member is about to pass away.

That week had a profound impact on me. This episode is about what happened in that week and what I learned from it.

I'll be sharing some go-to advice for preventive measures that I really recommend everyone to put into practice some BEFORE anything like this ever happens to you.

If you've gone through something similar yourself maybe this episode helps you cope with what happened and serves as a gentle reminder once again that our time is precious and limited 🙏

🧠 How do you make time for yourself?⚡️

As a young entrepreneur I'm used to working hard and long hours. Even when I was reaching my limits there was this voice in my head telling me: "you can only make time for yourself, when the business has fully succeeded, not before!"

One night after another long day of work I suddenly realized that I was having a break-down and that things needed to change.  In this episode I'll be sharing with you my very own Metin Senler approved suggestions on how to make time for yourself. Do take these with a pinch of salt. What really matters is the intention behind all of these things: Do it for yourself and yourself only!

Running a creative agency comes with many challenges. Among those is that it's hard to say no to clients. We want our clients to be happy. I want to ask you: Are you a people-pleaser? If yes, why? How does this show?

🧠 How and when do you take breaks from work?⚡

Working in the creative industry comes with many challenges, and I love all of them. I've found that one of the hardest things is to actually take a step back from my work once in a while and just take a break.

In this episode I'll be exploring the different types of breaks I take, what I enjoy most about them and the benefits that I've noticed in my life since I started being more mindful about taking breaks from work.

Taking breaks is very much about taking time off for yourself. In the next episode I want to dive deeper into this topic and ask you: How do you make time for yourself? When is it easy to focus on yourself, when do you find it difficult?
