I think it also depends on culture - in the western world there’s a lot of emphasis on the “individual” sometimes at the expense of the collective. I grew up in Pakistan - our culture emphasizes alot on the collective. Multi - generational families living together, close
My wife is from China. Alot of couples aren't having kids because they've moved away from parents and there's no childcare ... I def think these are connected factors.
*ahem*
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Slack spends ~50% of revenue on sales/marketing
Dropbox ~ 26%
Atlassian (jira/bitbucket/trello folks) ~21%
You always need a little help.A product does not sell itself.
Yeah I’ve heard European countries are far more family cantered and less “work obsessed” then American / North American folks. Canada does have better family policies and we recently have had some government programs to help with child care subsidies
Some very personal news. My wife & I took the oath and became Canadian Citizens today. We were part of 130 new Canadians from 30 different countries
It's been an eventful & emotional 9 years.
Lucky to be part of this beautiful country.
Started a B2B marketing community on *twitter* (got early access to communities on twitter)
let me know if you want an invite. Keeping it invite only for now till I figure this out. Let me know if you want an invite ✌️
And spending $$$ on childcare which leads to financial stress + summer camps and that camp and this camp. I think it’s important to children to socialize etc but I know someone who sends their 5 year old to private school that costs an arm and a leg..
Yo I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s totally ok not to “have a personal brand”. Just do the work and focus on what’s important to you. Too much of *marketing* and *tech* social has become a p$$$ing contest to prove your smarter then everyone else in the room.
