Creativity For Introverts

I realized something about reading books. In my experience, the best books are those which change how you act. Or give you enough inspiration to do some new actions.

For example, I was reading “5 am club” by Robin Sharma and “Miracle morning for entrepreneurs” and tried those morning rituals. I felt awesome, and my daily morning routines significantly changed!

Some of techniques for breathing exercises I learned from fiction literature, where main hero was using them. A lot of inspiration I am getting from reading biographies of successful entrepreneurs, they also affect my actions.

What changes did you make in your life after reading?

This time I am at crossroads of two possible ways. I can either leave my current job, where I had to travel 1.5 hours to office every day, or keep my patience and keep searching for new opportunities.

I am sure current time is not only about crisis, but also about opportunities. Some companies will grow while other companies decided to leave market. Job search portal seems to be filled with offers.

But am I judging correctly? Are those offers correct or just not updated since last week? Honestly, I do not know. But I will try anyway.

Something strange is going on with me. Today is Saturday, but I have so much energy, power and willing to action. What is it?

I think it is common deadlines when we plan our tasks inside one week. So either I am doing everything planned today or I will be total loser when the week ends.

Or it can be my personal type of energetic waves in organism. During typical days I am average worker, but some chemistry inside make me so energetic today. However I am going to user it fully.

I am in a bit unique position these days. I have IT background and experience in field of API integration. I have video marketing 2 years experience and business cases of millions of views. Combining these two I started doing AI video generation from images, useful for marketplaces, using neural networks API.

How I can do all three things alone? Obviosly I can not. I need to do first initial sales, do MVP and gather good team around me. This sounds like a good plan. Of course I am expecting some obstacles, but also now I see a lot of opportunities around me.

I am really doing as much as I can. Constantly writing to people, discussing business ideas, initiating calls. I see a lot of opportunities.

But also it is important to rest and sleep. If you are also active person, please remember that sleep must be good. You can recharge yourself. And try to act in the morning instead of staying awake till night!

I am in a bit unique position nowadays. I have experience as IT developer in large russian IT companies. Though I developed entrepreneurial mindset now, it is useful to help other with career opportunities.

I did a presentation about IT sphere in 2022 and understood that I really know a lot. I can be extremely helpful for those who want shift career or relocate. Will use it and provide consultations.

I read posts by great big businessmen like Fedor Ovchinnikov and Ayaz Shabutdinov. They are expecting very big changes and crisis. But the bad thing is that I personally does not change anything in my actions.

I am still doing consultation, selling my personal time for less then 60$ in hour. I never tried to sell some long-term service with big money sum. I am like hamster in a wheel, spending my time on stupid stuff.

THE WHEEL IS BROKEN, NEO! It is time to do something completely different then before. or take blue pill and return to 1C programmer job that I hate.

Today we were driving car somewhere in Moscow, when I realized that we are 20 minutes from our old friends. One call and we are heading to their house. It was totally spontaneous and I am very happy that this happened.

Being adult often means building a lot of borders. You should do this, you should do that. F*ck it! Do what you like, if I want to see old friend I will call him, and will not hesitate.

We had great evening playing board games and talking. I did not plan any of it, did not put it in my agile google calendar. And it was awesome!
