The Importance of Your Personal and Professional Values
In these turbulent times I’ve been able to talk (virtually) with a lot of people who are taking the opportunity to reflect, read books, and rethink their lives — at least in some aspect. Time seems to go more slowly during these weeks of lockdown, and that makes us rethink our lives and goals.
I turned 45 a couple of weeks ago, and I’m no exception when it comes to rethinking my life — I think I’ve never read so many books on personal growth and philosophy, among other topics. I don’t know if the famous midlife crisis is also hitting me, but I’ve been searching for meaning in my life, and this has made me think about my values — which is what I wanted to talk to you about today.
The Lego Entrepreneur vs. the Playmobil Entrepreneur
Seven years ago I came up with a theory that I’m going to share with you in this post. At first I didn’t think much of it, but ever since, whenever I tell people about it, it sticks with them — and some have even adopted it.
I originally formulated the Lego vs. Playmobil theory talking about entrepreneurs, but over time I’ve realized it applies equally well to executives and employees.
