work remotely

In this episode of 'Labyrinth of the First Gen, Weyu interviews Rokhaya, a Senegal-born mompreneur  based in Jamaica who moved from Canada with a vision to build her own business and break generational curses. Rokhaya shares her experiences of transitioning from a high-paying corporate job to running her own business, adapting to a new culture, battling obstacles, and building patience. She also talks about making peace with her past to heal her present, and discusses her plans to expand into healing retreats, facilitating the well-being of black women worldwide. In an encouraging and inspiring conversation, Rokhaya encourages the listeners not to see a gap in their CVs as a failure, but as an opportunity to rebuild their lives from scratch in an entirely new environment while redefining success on their terms.

"The success was really when I became a mother is when I saw the success because I was like, wow, I don't have to go back to a job when I'm feeling sick. I never had to call in sick. So. That's where I found my joy that thank God I set up this business beforehand, even though I'm not saying it's paying the bills or anything like that, but to just know that I'm free and that I'm capable and worthy of making that money for myself and breaking, as you said, those path and generational curse" ~Rokhaya, Mompreneur and Founder of Rokhaya Flow.

"How important is humor in the workplace?

Research shows that it may be more important than you think, with Leaders with a sense of humor being admired and perceived as more motivating than those without a sense of humor.

Employees are also more engaged, by 15%.

But of course, what one employee finds funny, another employee may not.  Below is a guide to four different humor styles.

Which one are you?

Stand-Up: bold, irreverent, and unafraid to ruffle a few feathers for a laugh.

Sweetheart: earnest, understated, and use humor that lightens the mood.

Sniper: edgy, sarcastic, nuanced — masters of the unexpected dig.

Magnet: expressive, charismatic, and easy to make laugh.

A peek into the life of one extraordinary individual who is living the life of his dreams traveling the world by working remotely.

In this episode of Converge Dane Sanders is joined by creative entrepreneur Jake Jorgovan who up and moved to Mexico to live the life of his dreams.

Dane and Jake explore the idea of the American dream, working remotely, what that means and how to do it. Jake describes his formula for how to put yourself in a position to go anywhere in the world you desire and still make a living.

He boils it down to three things:

• Learn a skill
• Figure out how to get hired for that skill and work remotely
• Move somewhere awesome
