Last day on the job anniversary.... High-performing executives everywhere are waking up and realizing they need to invest and collect passive income streams, to supplement thier income and build a safety net My choice one year ago today, was to prioritize myself and my business over my corporate safety career as a regional manager. Having passive income from real-estate made this all possible. Today I help other professionals build passive income beyond W2/1099. The pic you are seeing here is from my last day at the office, an inventory of tools of the trade and my badge with leash, shared this with my director at that moment. No office for me these days, and some of you may not be that lucky. Many employers are scaling back their hybrid work arrangements. Now back at company headquarters, you may find yourself sharing a cubicle and not have a private office. One of the greatest freedoms of being an entrepreneur is the ability to choose your work location. I have seen this dream come true for passive investors too. Where are you investing your capital? Turn your capital into cash flow with Capital Turners. I'd be honored you joined our investing club. The link is in the comments. #office #hybrid #lastday #iquit #multifamily #capitalturners

We already know what a great place SmugMug is to work, but we might be a little biased! Fortunately, other folks are noticing, too: We’ve been selected for Fortune’s “Best Workplaces in the Bay Area” list for 2024! 🙌 We’re thrilled to be joining other awesome workplaces also based in the San Francisco Bay Area. To receive this recognition means that our workplace culture was evaluated from the POV that matters the most: Our employees. We strive to make SmugMug and Flickr “the best place you’ve ever worked”. (A direct quote from our amazing People Team!)

Last week was quieter online, but incredibly busy away from the keyboard! 💻 One thing I noticed: we all need to go outside more often to stay connected with reality. 🌍 Here are three experiences that made this clear to me: 🚚 Moving to Hamburg: Working with Junker Umzüge (highly recommended) was eye-opening. The two gentlemen who moved my belongings work 5 days a week in moving and often 2 additional days in restaurants to support their families. While we discuss 4-day work weeks here on LinkedIn, their reality is quite different. 🚗 Driving through the country side: I had to drive through several villages on my way to one of my dream engagements (more on that later, spoiler in the picture). Passing through these villages I noticed how political slogans differ from those in big cities. Unfortunately, the only parties addressing everyday struggles for 60-80% of people were all from the right wing side of the spectrum. Others had lofty marketing messages unrelated to daily life of most people. 🏢 Workshop with VBKI: During a workshop with the Verein Berliner Kaufleute und Industrieller (VBKI) on the future of work and living, we concluded that we need more tradespeople and factory workers—those who get things done. These individuals need affordable housing, not co-working spaces. With these insights, one of my goals for the rest of the year is to step outside my typical bubble more often. Whether through creative workshops with VBKI, mentoring with Netzwerk Chancen, or connecting with diverse minds like Johannes Bube who always brings together great minds from diverse backgrounds. What's your approach to gathering perspectives outside your typical bubble? 🌟 If you're in Hamburg, let's connect! Or, if you know anyone in Hamburg I should meet, please put me in touch. I'm eager to meet fantastic people! 🌟 #Networking #Hamburg #Community #RealLifeConnections #WorkLifeBalance #FutureOfWork #Mentorship #DiversePerspectives #GetOutside #AffordableHousing

Here's how the holiday can inform a reset of office culture

Offices need to be repackaged Since the pandemic they've gotten a bad reputation especially in America. They're seen as ... - Onerous commitments for businesses - A place that oppresses peoples' freedom - Useless in the face of technology - Not worth the commute Perhaps people have forgotten the benefits and value they generate for businesses. Offices are a place ... - That gives your culture & brand a tangible home. - Where you're never far from someone to learn from. - Where great ideas happen accidentally. - Where you & your colleagues can grab dinner & drinks after work. - Where you can 'grab 5 minutes' with a mentor, without booking in a teams call. - Where a new recruit can bond with their team. - Where clients can visit and engage meaningfully with you. I'm sure many will argue you can do all of this online... But 'in real life' still matters, and with the right packaging offices should be seen as a driver of productivity and growth. Happy Wednesday Z ✌

How can shared workspaces help you?⬇️ If you've ever worked remotely, you know all about how quickly work productivity can turn into boredom, loneliness, and burnout. Now more than ever, there is a demand for new, innovative ways to work that are more flexible, conducive to long-term work productivity, and that give us a sense of community and collaboration. Here's why shared workspaces are worthwhile👇 1️⃣ Networking & Collaboration: in a shared workspace, you can tap into a vibrant network of other ambitious professionals, ready to elevate their businesses. Make connections, collaborate, and even make new friends! 2️⃣ Café Areas: Shared workspaces typically offer lively café spaces with high-speed WiFi, gourmet beverages, comfortable seating, and more. Carr Workplaces provides a Café Plan at just $45/month, granting access to any community café across their portfolio. 3️⃣ Cost Efficiency & Flexibility: Shared workspaces can save you money on startup and monthly costs. With shared workspaces, you can also now place employees at workstations around the country, for a fraction of the cost of establishing another headquarters. 4️⃣ Admin Services: From setting up crucial meetings to arranging dry cleaning for your suit, our built-in administrative support provides assistance as needed, saving significant costs by paying only for the support required, when required.

The pivot to success often rests in the quieter corners of our offices, on desks meticulously maintained by the unsung heroes of the workplace. ✨ This week, the hum of copiers is underscored by heartfelt "thank yous" as we celebrate Administrative Professionals Week. 💐 In every corner of the island, from Edinburgh's historic lanes to London's high-rise heart, we listen to the pulse of gratitude. Managers momentarily step away from the helm, turning team meetings into moments of appreciation for those who are the glue binding our operations together. 🙏 Desks are stages of gratitude, where colourful bouquets usurp the monotony of files and spreadsheets. In this symphony of respect, notes of appreciation are the crescendo breaking the usual corporate cadence. Whether it's the West End's creative hubs or the finance houses of the City, every thank you resounds through our collective corporate spirit. 📝 Administrative Professionals, your unwavering dedication keeps the great British enterprise steadfast. This week, we salute you — the architects of organisation, the maestros of multitasking, the heart of our daily hustle. 🇬🇧 #AdministrativeProfessionalsWeek #OfficeHeroes #ThankYou

To our Administrative Professionals who work behind the scenes - your efficiency, planning, and daily support contributes to EMBREY’s collective success. We celebrate all you do to make our workplace thrive. #AdminstrativeProfessionalsDay #TeamEMBREY #OneEMBREY
