At 25, you worry people won’t take you seriously.
At 50, you wonder if you took it all too seriously.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

Starting a business at 50 used to sound reckless.
Trusting one company with your future sounds reckless now.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

You can be grateful for the career you had.
And still be completely done with it.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

The happiest people I know in their 50s & 60s still work.
They just stopped doing work they don’t care about.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

The older I get, the more I realize that most people don’t hate working.

They hate having no control over it.

@karunpal Taking small, continuous actions is the best antidote to procrastination. Start with something easy.

Compounding actions and small results will build the confidence you need.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@karunpal We certainly come prepared. Go introverts!

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@harry_ngala10 It’s a marathon. Fall in love with the process, not just the finish line.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@thejustinwelsh Steady, compounding action is the key to success. Most people give up along the way. And that’s how you’ll win 🚀

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@donnellycss For me, it’s a combination of time blocking, staying disciplined with one task at a time, and ruthlessly eliminating distractions.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@karunpal Dwelling on the past is like a disease. Not just for introverts. The key is reframing failures as learning opportunities, committing to change, and moving forward.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@ellisonscar 100% - If you’re fortunate enough to have a choice, not taking it would be a missed opportunity. I believe many of us do have that choice; it’s just about making the decision.

@RichSubcon @matt_gray_ If you don't love what you do, it's gonna be hard to be really good at it.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@TheStevenWade @matt_gray_ That's right. Always deliver tremendous value and go above and beyond expectations.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@karunpal 100% - All it takes is consistent small steps, and we can achieve anything. Go introverts!

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@donnellycss Don't listen to the critics and commit to yourself and your values.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

I guess at the end of this we as a society gonna know how much entitlement and selfishness we need, and how much social caring and community we want, or vice versa. Looking forward to the conversation.

[Sven Elstermann @SvenElstermann]

@PublicStorage Just received my 2nd rent increase within 9 months. 30% now. 40% altogether in 14 months since move in. A mistake or unethical business practice? Smells like #usury to me... Let’s resolve this. Want to?
