In a world where external circumstances often seem to dictate the course of our lives, the idea of taking 100% responsibility can be both liberating and intimidating. Taking 100% responsibility means accepting that we are the main architects of our reality, responsible not only for our actions but also for our reactions. This philosophy involves deep introspection and a commitment to continuous personal and professional growth. On a personal level, taking full responsibility means actively managing our emotional life, our financial decisions, our relationships, and our overall well-being. It means stopping to see others as the cause of our problems and starting to see every challenge as an opportunity to learn and advance. This attitude allows us to free ourselves from victimization and empowers us to make more conscious and proactive decisions. Professionally, this mindset translates into taking control of our career and performance. Instead of attributing our success or failure to

  "Success is not about how fast you start, but how consistently you pursue your goals until the finish line." - Luis Vicente Garcia  As we step into September, many of us are acutely aware that the year is rapidly approaching its end. Whether you started the year with a robust set of goals or are just now thinking about what you'd like to achieve, the months from September to December offer a valuable opportunity to refocus, recalibrate, and realize your aspirations. Here's a strategic approach to making the most of the remaining months of the year. 1. Revisit Your Goals Start by taking stock of where you are. Review the goals you set at the beginning of the year. Have you achieved what you set out to do? If not, which goals are still within reach? It’s important to be realistic yet optimistic. Identify the goals that can feasibly be accomplished by the end of the year and prioritize them. 2. Break Down Your Goals into Actionable Steps Once you’ve identified your pri

" In a world of men, a woman's voice can be the most powerful weapon." This quote, attributed to Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, encapsulates the profound impact that women can have, even in male-dominated societies. Women's voices have played crucial roles in various movements and changes throughout history. Their perspectives, resilience, and determination can inspire and lead to significant societal progress. Cleopatra's life and legacy offer a compelling example of how a woman's voice, wielded with intelligence, determination, and strategic insight, can shape the course of history. Cleopatra VII ascended to the throne of Egypt at the age of 18, a young woman thrust into the volatile and politically charged world of ancient Mediterranean geopolitics; her reign, from 51 BC until her death in 30 BC, was marked by a series of strategic alliances, most notably with Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. These allia

"The Olympics are not just a test of athletic prowess, but a testament to the human spirit's resilience, determination, and unwavering hope. Every athlete is a reminder that with hard work and dedication,  we can all chase our dreams and achieve greatness." Luis Vicente Garcia   As the world eagerly anticipates the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the spotlight is on the athletes whose extraordinary qualities and unwavering dedication epitomize the Olympic spirit. These athletes, drawn from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, countries, religions, and more,   embody not only physical prowess and improvements they have made these past four years, but also the resilience, adaptability, and sportsmanship that define the modern Olympian. The path to the Olympics is fraught with many challenges, stressful trainings, trips, competitions, and qualifying tryouts, and athletes must demonstrate remarkable resilience to reach the pinnacle of their sports. The global COVID-19 pandemic

Hello, Entrepreneur Performance Community! It's been a while—seven years, to be exact—since my last post.  During this time, the entrepreneurial landscape has undergone significant changes, and like many of you, I've been navigating these shifts, gathering insights, and honing my skills.  I'm thrilled to reconnect with you and to share the knowledge and experiences I've gained during this period where I seerved as the CEO of the Venezuelan American Chamber of Commerce and Industry , based in Caracas, Venezuela, and as editor-in-chief for the Business Venezuela Magazine.

Dear friends, The start of a new year is a wonderful time to review your goals and objectives and keep working on your vision. We all have challenges; but we have to think of new ideas and new approaches to solve them and take care of the many pressing issues we have today. In some parts of the world these challenges can be harder or stronger, but they should not take us away from our goals.  They must be seen as mere obstacles (not simple ones though) that we must get through and solve in case of problems in order to continue. So at the start of a new year decide on your ABC's : - Act,  - Be Positive - Continue As simple as it sounds; just do it.  In other words, as we said in the title of a book I co-wrote:  “ Dare to Succeed ”. I truly believe that:  “Our own positive attitude and personal motivation are the key driving forces for everything we do .” This is why I invite YOU to start improving your attitude and learn how to be motivated and be
