Take Your Shot

Posted by Marcelo Bermudez

Several years ago, I decided to stop asking others, “What do you think of…?”

I just started doing it.

The pandemic allowed me to retool and become more responsive to my client’s needs.

I earned my CEPA designation to help customers understand value creation.

I capitalized on my consensus-building skills and became a civil and commercial mediator. Clients trust me with their warts and not-so-pretty personal/business situations.

I attended @Scott Galloway’s @Section4 sprints in Brand Strategy and Strategy. It boosted my confidence in how my approach to the market is correct.

I put the book I wrote on stepping into your purpose on the shelf to care for my elderly parents.

I wrote two business plans for media/entertainment and began raising capital.

I’m drawing animated characters (no art background). I am writing storylines that tell fun stories around sustainability and permaculture design.

If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing.

Take your shot.
