The Niello Company’s Post

I come from a middle-class family where my father had a job and worked for 30 years without much saving or retirement plan, yet he provided to us everything we wished for. He tried some business, which he failed, making a huge loss, and never dared to do business again. I was super scared to start a business on own since everyone around me said we are not meant for doing business. They wanted the best for me and wanted me to avoid mistakes and losses which they had heard or made in their life. But, I said I will try. Apsphere B.V Started! This year, I celebrated 10th anniversary. Coming from a family background, where money talks over dinner was considered to be bad thing. If we speak about money, then it’s a show off or specially for women who can’t say they earn more than men. It was far fetch idea for me to understand money can grow money. So, my idea before starting any business or investment was NOT about making a profit or exponential growth. It has always been about avoiding mistakes and losses. To play a safe game. As I am slowly growing in my personal and professional life and try to build generational wealth for my family, for the last couple of years, I've started to invest and diversify my portfolio. The idea is to acquire knowledge and build skills over a period of time so that whenever needed, this information comes in handy. Follow me Asha Pradeep (Asha Basavanthappa).

If you always spend less than you make, you'll always have surplus. Whether you make $15/hour, $100k a year, or $1M a month. The opposite is true too, unfortunately. If you spend more than you make, you'll never have enough. It's a basic financial concept, but I like how it applies to our everyday life. If you're always grateful for what you have, you'll never need that new thing. Doesn't mean you can't get it, but just that it's an extra cherry on top. I recently went through this as the 49ers lost the super bowl and I found myself grateful for my family. Had they won, I'd have a happy family and be an overzealous fan. But this year, I just have the first thing. And I'm grateful. So next time you find yourself thinking "I wish I had that", look at what you DO have, and be grateful.

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others."—Cicero What are you grateful for? Is it a best friend, a successful career, an incredible experience? Those are the foundations of your wealth. Practice gratitude for them, and you may be surprised by how your life transforms. #gratitude #grateful #thankful #wealth #wealthwave

Imagine starting a journey that spans three decades—here was my Day 1  Everything starts on Day 1... I and my 2 Co-Founders all worked at the same place – right down the road from where we are now. We worked hard. 50- and 60-hour weeks were not uncommon. But we were part of a hardworking, dedicated team all working toward the same goals, so it was OK. Until it wasn’t. See, in general, the company we worked for wasn’t winning. There were often cutbacks and general struggles. It wasn’t terrible but working that hard and not winning wasn’t a great feeling. So, one day, one of us (there is some debate on which one of us) walked in and said, “if we are going to work this hard, we should do it for ourselves” (for the record, I am firmly convinced it was me) We were a nice combination of hardware and software guys – we understood personal computers (and mainframes – hey, I said it was 30 years ago – stop judging) - and computer networks were starting to be an important part of small business. So, over dinner one night, the company was born. We each threw in $100, and we were off and running. We started as Andromeda Computing Systems – a name borrowed from a company I already had for writing software. One more evening spent in one of our attics – and we had a logo and a business card design. Our goal from day 1, which still drives us today, was to help people.   Computers and networks were complicated and hard to get working (in many ways, they still are), and people needed our help to succeed. 30 years of a focused purpose continues today and can be seen in our company’s Core Purpose: “Helping People Succeed.” That was a long time ago, and we have helped many people along the way. Clients and Employees, Vendors and Partners, and the folks in our community. We are far from done. The 3 co-founders are still here today. We show up daily with that same passion for winning – the same passion that drove us to Day 1 - three decades ago. Here is to my two co-founders.....what a ride! 

⭐️ Merlin Search is five years old! ⭐️ Some say it takes five years to build a complex technology platform and establish a company. All John Tredennick can say is, ”it has been a great five years and I wouldn't trade it for the world.” Why would anyone consider retirement when they have the chance to work with brilliant people and build technology that truly makes a difference? Well, they don’t. These first five years mark just the beginning. Stay tuned to see what we will deliver in the next five. #Growth #GenAI #LegalTech

Retirement can go a few ways. If you want the next chapter of life to have purpose and meaning there are a few things you can do! Ask you yourself….. Are you choosing the opportunity to explore a new passion? Do you have a community who you enjoy? Do you have hobbies to keep your mind busy? Is there something you want to learn or teach? Do you have a self care routine to keep you strong and stable? The answers to these questions can be found if your willing to work.
