7/2/2023 0 Comments Nozbe podcast![]() Well… I failed at last three times to finally hit it with Nozbe. But I decided to try myself and build my own startup. I had a quite nice resume – two business college degrees, three foreign languages spoken fluently – they suggested I could get a really good job in a prestigious international company. When I graduated from college many people were questioning my choice of going on my own. I guess I was raised to run a business – and these are my entrepreneurial parents who are to blame (You can read more about them in a blogpost I wrote a few years ago – ). I couldn’t really imagine myself in any other place. I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Typesy: Did you ever have the specific goal of running your own company, or did your Nozbe venture simply evolve over time, from your own personal tool to one that people around the world are using to help manage their productivity? I think they will let us go outside the box and inspire us while planning and looking for solutions. In the end though, I realized that there is no inconsistency between having stretch goals and working step by step with “small wins” to get them done. I am a great advocate of a small steps method so I was a little bit at crossroads with these bold goals I set to myself and the whole Nozbe team. Goals like these might be really discouraging and cause frustration – I experienced that not so long ago while planning new Nozbe marketing strategy for the end of this year and the entire 2016. This is an ambitious vision rather than a goal and it requires you to go out of your comfort zone and “stretch” your capabilities beyond the usual performance. This is a goal that you can’t achieve by using your regular procedures, planning habits and tools. Typesy: One of your recent blog posts mentions “stretch goals.” What is a stretch goal? In a recent interview, we talked to Michael about productivity tips, what it’s like to run a startup business, and how you can use technology to make the most out of every day.
