FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO Do you remember the teen magazines that used to be in the newsstands twenty years ago? (Apologies in advance if you were not born twenty years ago, you just made me instantaneously feel ten centuries older) If, like me, you were lucky to be alike in such age of printing glory, you’d remember teen magazines filled with pops tart gossips, eyebrow raising advice about your intimate health and loads of quizzes and tests. Will you marry your BFF? If you were a Spice...

As such, I couldn't help but reflect on some of the things that I have learned in the journey,...

FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO During my morning walk last week - I love walking, it makes me feel like I am claiming my time back in such an easy way - I was re-listening to this podcast episode with Seth Godin and Tim Ferris, I scribbled down on my phone (I guess I should write type, as scribbling on your phone is not advised kids) this question: 'Is your idea tattoo worthy?' He makes the example of Harley Davidson and Suzuki. If you want to buy a motorbike, there are plenty of cheaper...

FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO If you know me, you may be aware that I am truly a lover of productivity - heck, I wrote a whole book about it. Yet, I am not a big fan of routines. What I have built for myself over the years are specific rituals I can follow. Some of them even become habits. Up to habits power 40% of our daily actions—the unconscious activities and routines we’ve developed over time. For example, I wake up at 6 am on weekdays, have my coffee first, then meditate, do my...

FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO As I was indulging in my weekly read-through newsletters (thanks again Meco for saving me HOURS), I came across Khe Hy's $645,099 business pivot essay. Oh yes, I am also going to add this to my recommended links below, because it's honestly too good. Mainly, I loved the fact that Khe was so open to talk about his journey, and the overall fact that it provided context about how the industry has changed for so many "creator educators" and experts online. He did not...

FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO Last week I mentioned my first ever course, online marketing for yoga teachers - and its demise, sadly. Still, this week I realised I have been creating online courses for now shy of 9 years. I started with my ex boyfriend's journo microphone AND a setof Keynote slides recorded somehow with a 3rd party screen recording tool on my old laptop with worn-out keys. The lessons were long, slides aplenty, and the font choices were questionable. 25+ courses later (of my...

FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO Being your own boss is like being on a roller coaster ride every single day of the year A few years back, after one of our events for Creative Impact (my old company), I was walking back with one of our attendees: we were talking a bit about the company, goals, challenges, hurdles. She looked at me and she asked: “How does one manage to keep on going when things do not work out? You always seem to do so well” The curse of being someone who wants to try loads of...

FAB GIOVANETTI DIARY OF A CEO Note to self: do not plan on launching a brand new campaign involving 100 people the week before your certification starts, Fab. Anyways, regardless of my levels of madness reaching newer heights, I have learned a lot about repeating this old campaign, taken from my old company, Creative Impact. This year, we gathered nominations for our top 100 ONLY from social which means we had to gather all bios, headshots, links and emails manually. We are looking at a...
