What’s up #IS? -> “The Times They Are A Changing”

Hello SCG,

yes, it is me Ivana. Yes, I am alive;-)

 I know it has been some time since we have heard from each other via blog post on #IS and now is the time to touch base again. Events of past weeks/months were too overwhelming for me and I am still processing them with my full being. Only thing I can assure  you is that I am shipping like never before.I still cannot find my own words to articulate what is going on, so I will let master Bob Dylan to help me with it…Enjoy!

Did You Know That Doing Nothing Can Get You Things Done?

Hello SCG,

you might be surprised by a title of this shipment, especially when it is written in a place, where doers meet. How the heck can it be good for you to do nothing? How can you get something done, while being idle? Are you not suppose to sweat and ship and work hard, day in day out? Yes and no. Please allow me to share with you, why it is damn important to do nothing and what a hard and important work it is. [Read more…]

The One & Only Question You Better Know Your Answer(s) For

Hey SCG,

greetings from my remote shipping office  (not my parent’s house anymore, but now it is one public place), which means there are possibilities to interact with other people, too -> which is great for me and you as well -> how come? It is thanks to  a chance confront opinions with other folks and then getting food for thought.

Today was one of those days, when I have articulated one very important lesson for everyone who truly want to do stuff and make things happen -> so, if you are a doer, (no, you don’t need to own iPad or Ray Ban shades for that!) -> I want you to work on getting kick ass answers for this question….

Hey SCG,

I know that I still owe you book reviews from summer 2011, but before I will get there -> let me highlight for you yet another master piece written by our beloved Seth Godin -> few days back he has published via The Domino Project his new book called We Are All Weird. I have read it cover to cover within a day -> that is why all Domino books were purposely made in such short manifesto like format, which will enable you to read them over few cups of coffee. So, let me shut up my odes for it and let’s get to the twenty six most memorable quotes from Seth’s new gift to the world.

Talk Is Short. Art Is Long.

Hey SCG,

today I would like to share with you few thoughts, which were zig zagging in my mind today evening, when I was reflecting on a wonderful day filled with shipping at the bank of the river. I sat there for over an hour, just sitting, doing nothing, just sitting and breathing. What I have noticed is that people who were sitting around me did not last sitting idle for long. Few minutes and they were gone, back to their busy lives. Then it hit me. “Talk Is Short. Art Is Long.” Let me elaborate.

Let’s kick off 3rd Year for #IS with gratitude list.

Hello SCG,

whoa! I am still in awe, that we have crossed a pretty decent milestone together. Two years of shipping and sharing my story with you were the most transforming years of my life. You have no idea, how touched I am by you sticking around. I know, that there are many bloggers out there, who are writing for more than a decade, but I also know that there are very few bloggers in my part of the world, who are blogging, using social media and believing in its power as I do. I would not be able to make it without your support, guys. Thank you for that! I am often asked, what got me started? What inspired me to get onto such different path? Let me share with you list of people who got me where I am. Enjoy #IS’s Gratitude List.

Question Of the Week #36

Hiya SCG,

here I am. Back with you. Let’s warm up our connection with question of the week, which is:

“Who is your favorite athlete and why?”

I must confess, that my all time favorite is Michael Jordan and now he is ‘threatened’ by Tony Parker. Why? I simply love basketball…and will always do.

Hope you are doing great and that you used IS shipping break for your own self- transformation! You and I needed a break to digest many things, I think…

Love and light to you -> see you and your sport heroes in the comments.
