Indicator for Entrepreneurs

In today’s landscape, personal branding, self-promotion, and networking have become significantly more accessible, thanks to the metaverse. 

We find ourselves interconnected in myriad ways; however, this connectivity often leads to a self-centered focus, where the aspiration to become influencers and promote our own products and services takes precedence.

Yet, we must not overlook the essence that establishing a successful business requires strong networks (11th House). This means delivering real value to those who engage with our services while simultaneously addressing their emotional, physical, and practical needs and desires.

Businesses are constantly seeking new ways to engage with their audience.

Some examples of digital business that related to the astrological placements:

Impressions (Venus, 1st House, Chart ruler)

Engagement (7th House, 11th House, Mercury)

Content creating (Mercury, 3rd House, 9th House)

Storytelling (Mercury, 3rd House, 4th House, 5th House, Neptune, Uranus)

Digital marketing strategy (Uranus, Jupiter, 9th House, 11th House)

Metrics eg. engagement, click-through rates, conversion (Saturn, 2nd House, 10th House)

Cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset is important for navigating this journey.  To thrive as an entrepreneur, one must be decisive and possess a holistic perspective. Without an open mind and a sharp, analytical approach, it becomes increasingly challenging to realize their vision and achieve lasting success.

✧

Certain astrological houses play a pivotal role:

1st house - the self and self-awareness - with prominent placement, they often resist being controlled by others, thriving instead on independence.

8th house  - resources and financing - the ability to leverage others' resources or collaborate in business endeavors.

10th house - career aspirations and the broader vision necessary for success. Entrepreneurs must possess a grand perspective to navigate their ventures effectively.

✧ Some key astrological indicators for aspiring entrepreneurs:

Strong10th House (Sun/ Moon in 10th House / 10th House Stellium) - strong drive for success and a deep desire to achieve - find entrepreneurship more appealing than traditional employment

10th House ruler in 1st House - a powerful ambition - Those with influential planets in their chart often strive for independence in their careers, leading to a respected and prestigious professional life - Leadership roles may also suit you well

1st House ruler in 10th House - highly ambitious, with dreams of fame and success. Your ideas or decision may frequently revolve around becoming a business owner and achieving personal recognition.

Saturn in the 1st House - face challenges in life but possess a strong sense of responsibility. Through relentless effort and determination, they strive to prove their worth to the world. With their unwavering willpower and diligent work ethic, achieving success is almost inevitable.

Strong 8th House (Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter / 8th House Stellium) - an ability to access resources easily - excel in securing funding and attracting investments, which can significantly enhance their chances of entrepreneurial success.

Strong 11th House / 11th House Stelium - strong social connections and a supportive network - with good relationships and abundant resources, you’ll find that others are eager to assist you in your endeavors. >> Career • what kind of content creator are you?

140 days of productivity: day 21/140

damn how can someone be productive and still drink the recommended amount of water per day? i'm struggling a lot with this. today i was very productive, very creative and very hardworking, but i drank maybe 1 L of water and thought about work during my entire outdoor walk (which was supposed to be a break to recharge). i'm surprised that even with little sleep, i haven't felt sleepy during the day. i'm in a good mood and happy most of the time. today I basically worked until my eyes hurt (I forgot to turn on the light) and also packed some candle orders.

needless to say i'm absolutely obsessed with baekhyun (sorry sehun... maybe i have a new utt? my inner teenager is screaming) and that i'll only be cured when he releases hello, world. sorry moots, you'll still see me talking about baekhyun — aka king of kpop — for a while...

💥: day 15/29 (probably ovulating since I'm feeling so energetic and alive 👀)

💧: 1 L (which is nothing since it was 36 degrees today)

🏋🏻‍♀️: 🚫

🏃🏻‍♀️: walking (2,35 km)

🕯️: collected customer feedbacks + prepared content for social media + long meeting with my team to validate our strategies + packed orders (8 h)

The Date Game: Olympic Sport or Minefield?

Dating, darling, is it an art or a game? And if it's a game, shouldn't it be an Olympic sport? Just picture it: all the guys I've dated, competing for the gold medal in... well, we'll get to that. But first, let's talk about the rules (or lack thereof).

Every game has rules, right? They make things more fun, more challenging, and help you understand the goal. But dating, my sweet summer children, has ZERO rules. It's like being dropped in the middle of the ocean with a blindfold and a paddleboard.

I have yet to receive a rulebook for the GAME, the game of love. (Is that even what we're playing?)

I don't know about you, but I don't think people go on dates to find love. In my experience, it's more about finding someone who isn't a total nutjob, a psycho, or a cheater (that last one is harder to spot than a fake Rolex).

Gay dating, in particular, is two guys trying to out-impress each other with the same, tired lies. During the date, everyone's Mr. Perfect: zero baggage, amazing exes, no drug problems, mental health? Aced it! Workaholic, but with a heart of gold. It all sounds too good to be true... and honey, it usually is.

Social media is partly to blame. We're all curating our "perfect" lives online, and some people are taking that facade offline. I've met guys who are living their Instagram fantasy IRL, and let me tell you, it's exhausting.

But that's not even the worst part. The thing that really gets me is that dating feels like a never-ending job interview. Think about it:

I apply for the job: Based on my carefully curated profile pics and witty bio.

I'm randomly selected for an interview: If my pics are cute enough and my bio doesn't sound like a serial killer's manifesto.

I go to the interview: AKA the date, where I put on my best performance and hope they don't notice I'm wearing Spanx.

Now, here's where it gets different: If I don't get the job, I'm still open to a little "consolation prize" (if you catch my drift). In the real world, you don't sleep with your HR manager after a failed interview. But in the dating game? Anything goes.

So yes, I downloaded Tinder, took some flattering selfies, and crafted a bio that would make Shakespeare jealous. And you know what? It's been... interesting. Expect a full report in my next post, including tales of awkward Grindr encounters, unexpected hookups, and maybe even a happy ending (or two).

Ps. We're in 2024—can we normalize sex on the first date (or soon after)? Why is this still taboo? Sex is important in any relationship, romantic or otherwise, and it's weird that we don't talk about it more openly. Let's be real, we need to talk about sex, learn about it, and teach it without shame or judgment. This starts with looking inward and seeing our lives (and desires) with fresh eyes. Sex isn't dirty or ugly; it's a natural form of energy and connection. I want to know if the person I'm dating matches my energy in all ways, including sexually. 

Stay tuned, my loves! And remember, always swipe right for yourself first.

Cheers,

Caesar

Hey, I saw that you're a copywriter. I'm in the process of doing reach outs. Is there any advice you could perhaps give me?

Hi love! I would say to keep the following in mind:

Have all your materials (portfolio, website, clips, LinkedIn, rate card, etc.) neatly packaged and easy to browse through

Define your USP and core specialties/services. Why would a prospective client hire you specifically? What makes your expertise, experiences, offerings, etc. the perfect fit for their needs?

Have an elevator pitch/intro in every reach out to humanize yourself and share your unique value-add

Tailor every pitch and use it as a chance to position yourself as the solution to their business needs/pain points (this can range from having a niche/specialty that aligns with their needs, such as experience writing tech-focused email copy, or offering them a greater business need like brand awareness to a specific market)

Research, research, research –– about the business/client/contact you're reaching out to, their existing marketing materials/press mentions/social feeds, general knowledge of the industry, etc.

Have an onboarding/workflow process for every project. Be prepared to share a general overview of how you work in a discovery call

Ask for a discovery call at the end of our every reach-out message

Know your rates and turnaround times/rush rates ahead of time

For any discovery call, always be prepared to run the show/ask questions that will help you better understand their needs/business/personalities and work style

Hope this helps xx

Questioning your worth won't ever lead you to find your true value. I get it, some people out there might make you feel like you're not enough. But how you treat yourself matters way more than how others treat you.

Sure, people might throw some hurtful stuff your way, or make you doubt yourself, but don't let that shake your confidence. You're precious, way more than you might think. You're not defined by the scars you hide or the nights you spend feeling down.

You can't force people to see your worth if they're blind to it, but you can always remind yourself that you deserve better. You won't always please everyone, but that doesn't diminish your value as a person.

When you start loving yourself, you'll see that other people's opinions don't matter as much as your own. It's all about what you think of yourself. So, be your own best friend, especially on those tough days when others make you feel small.

Self-love is key. It's what helps you realize your worth, and once you do, no one can knock you down. So, why not start showing yourself some love today? You deserve it, no matter what 🖤

The Basics of Digital Marketing For Beginners

Tips for Beginners

As a digital marketing beginner, you don’t have to feel intimidated or lost. Here are some tips to make digital marketing for beginners easier to grasp and get going.

Know everything you can about brand awareness

Building brand awareness is an essential element to your marketing strategy and your success. Start out by knowing everything you can about it and its benefits.

Essentially, brand awareness is the recognition and familiarization by others of your brand, product, or service. To boost such awareness, you will need to help consumers learn more about your business, the products or services you offer, and what makes you stand out from your competitors.

There are several ways to build brand awareness. Consistency in how you present your brand across channels and platforms will be key. Consumers will be able to look at a blog or social media post and instantly know it’s yours if you do it right.

SEO is everywhere

Search engine optimization (SEO) is everywhere today! Once you acknowledge this, it’s time to get in the game by understanding how SEO works and ways to use it to your advantage.

Sure, it can be a little intimidating at first, so start slow and easy. Identify keywords and phrases that your target audience uses to conduct searches. Incorporate these into all your content so your audience can find you more easily. From here, you’ll want to consider a link-building strategy to boost your SEO even more.

If you start feeling anxious, remember to take action one step at a time and keep learning all you can about SEO techniques and available tools. Soon you’ll be using it to increase website traffic, gain higher-quality leads, and more.

Discover the online potential of your brand

One of the most empowering moments that can occur as a digital marketer is to discover the online potential of your brand. Digital marketing is the perfect avenue for generating high-quality leads that result in more interaction with your brand and, ultimately, higher sales.

You may discover opportunities to offer webinars to customers, create courses, sponsor events, or become a thought leader in your field. The online potential of your brand is vast, and cashing in on that is possible with targeted marketing and planning.

Get to Really Know Your Customers

While you may already know everything about your product or service, it is essential to step away from that and get to really know your customers. By doing so, you can build a better marketing strategy that appeals to them and other potential customers.

Conduct your own market research by sending out surveys to existing customers and by asking for feedback. Closely study customer reviews and comments to gain a sense of what they want most. Learn all you can about who they are, what they want or need, and the type of interests they have.

Once you collect this information and start to understand your customers, develop your buyer personas. You will use these to plan your marketing strategy and the type of content to share.

Build a significant presence on social media

Consumers today spend tons of time on social media platforms. Since that is where they are, it is where you should be also. The goal is to build a significant presence on one or more platforms.

Create your social profile to match your brand and how you present yourself on your website. Now it’s time to start publishing content. Consider mixing it up a bit at times, providing informative, educational, or entertaining content to show your brand’s confidence and personality. Don’t just focus only on your products or services, but add posts that speak to your target audience’s interests and desires.

Online consumers are highly visual these days, so be sure to always include the highest quality videos and images with your posts. As you gain more followers, increase your interaction with them by responding to comments. You can even use interactive content to draw them in further.

140 days of productivity: days 35, 36 and 37/140

The last few days have been hard, so today I want to start by listing the things that, after spending the whole night crying, made me smile as soon as I saw them:

- a lizard running to lie down in the sun

- two parakeets resting in a tree

- kind people in traffic

- a man on a machine fixing the wiring on a street pole

- a girl taking a picture of her orange soda to post on social media

All of this made me happy for a few seconds. Today I'm feeling really depressed, so seeing life outside of myself is like receiving a tonic of hope and joy.

I've been working and studying a lot, which makes me think that I've never taken a vacation since my first job. Still, there's a lot to do. My generation isn't going to retire and I can't count on someone to support me financially or clean my house for me. Sometimes I miss being younger and having the comfort of living with my parents… my only concern was studying and getting good grades. What a simple life! Now I just feel emotionally, physically and mentally drained all the time lol.

69

Ok, we need to talk about 69. Not the year, but the sexual position. According to Wikipedia, here's a bit of history:

“The term sixty-nine or soixante-neuf for mutual simultaneous oral-genital stimulation is an English translation of the euphemistic French term, "soixante-neuf." The term "soixante-neuf" has not been traced any earlier than the Whore's Catechisms published in the 1790s in France, usually attributed to the early leader of the French Revolution, Mlle.”

Just a little context for you, my dear reader. The thing here is: why are people still doing 69, for the sake of the Lord? I’m not going to lie; my first email account was “cesu69@hotmail.com.” I chose the 69 because I thought it was fun and all that. In the end, I don’t like 69; I can’t 69. I’ve even stopped replying to a guy on Grindr because of it. He was obsessed with the idea of 69 with me, and I didn’t have the energy to convince him otherwise.

I just can’t. Is 69 good? Yes, but it is too much. Please let me explain. I JUST CAN’T FOCUS. C’mon, I need to fucking focus when I’m sucking a dick. Did you know that it’s an art to give good blowjobs? (Put that on a shirt!) I will write more about that later… But I need to focus; I need to see the guy looking at me, slapping my face, choking me on him. I want to listen to him moaning, calling me horrible names. I need that, and with 69, you can’t have it, baby! What’s the point? I want to give pleasure and see that he is enjoying it.

I love when my Top sucks me. Please, Tops! Suck more! For real, when I fuck with a Top who gives me a good head plus a finger in my ass, I almost fall in love. Damn. NO JOKE. A Top guy who blows you and fingers you deserve a special place in heaven. In my personal heaven, they have their own. I need to moan; I need to see my man sucking me, knowing that right after he will fuck me. Well, that isn’t the point. I’m here to talk about 69. You can’t have all that, boys! No, you can’t! No FUN.

But there is always an exception! A good 69 for a guy like me is me sucking his dick, slow, focusing on the head (yes, some guys like it that way), and he eats my fucking ass. THAT IS A FUCKING DESSERT.

For real, it’s like when you crave a good dessert and just find it. Do you know that feeling of matching? That’s what I’m talking about. Please, just do it.

That is a 69, boys, for me… Tell me more about you.

And remember, always fall in love with yourself first.

Cheers, Caesar
