You can’t TRY to do things, you simply DO them

Whether you’re chatting
Whether you’re playing
Whether you’re doing anything
Any activity, you need to have a specific level of concentration so then only success is yours.

NEVERMIND
Co-working space
Is not simply a workspace, it’s a community of people that strive for success in a professional, creative and collaborative environment.
We must not cease from exploration, because at the end of our exploration we arrive at our starting point and know the place for the first time -T. S. Eliot

How to start a personal blog?
In my experience the most important thing in a blog is the content .
After six years of starting my personal blog I have reinvented and still do. I have experienced , deleted , created , deleted again, lost content , written with spelling mistakes , written more clearly and concrete , I have written about my personal life , about my work , about technology, being trolled, criticized, congratulated, liked my content, my content has not liked , anyway. The point is I have learned and still do, but I never fail to reinvent myself .
Content
Talk about something that is not common to read and something you’re passionate about .
I suggest your content is about something you live in your current context and make it something that you like so much that you want to share with others , who may be identified, or learn something new. Create valuable content to people.
Eventually you will be able to identify categories of the item you’re trying to highlight and identifying the characteristics of the people who read you .
Of course you can set this from the beginning, but if not, experiment , be yourself, enjoy writing and through this action you will discover new facets of yourself.
Choose your platform
If this is the first time you have a blog I suggest you create an account on wordpress.com, and you can start creating your first post right away without wasting much time in installation and devote yourself into creating content.
If you have any questions email me.
Design
Select a design that identifies you.
If you are creating written content choose a theme where there is clean visual noise, perhaps accompanying your post with a picture but keep it clean for the reader.
If your content are images, look for a theme that is suitable to display your pictures in a more interactive way .
Frequency
When you have a blog is hard to be disciplined about publishing new content (of course if you are very disciplined this is not a problem). I suggest to start with a goal publishing once a week during 3 months. If this remains you can reach another goal and publish daily or maybe invite others to collaborate.
After you create discipline, more readers, content quality I suggest to look for a hosting and install a framework like WordPress.org
At the end, the most valuable of a blog is its content. Your words, your pictures, your content.

Time to renew
So the think is that my original startup idea didn’t well so good. At one point I realized it wasn’t really something that I truly love and also about the lack of experience that I have in big data.
So baby steps by baby steps. Now getting to the basics, I’ve been realized I would like to be more involved with the industry and get into the operations. So is time to refresh all the knowledge after years being just in management areas and really start doing something.
So here I go, wish me luck.
The world you crave can be conquered. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours. -Ayn Rand
