January 25, 2010 Leave a comment

Robert Martyna, a book lover and the CEO of Tradavo, recalls meeting a public school teacher on the New York City subway. She delighted in seeing so many people reading books on the train. With a smile, she exclaimed, “Books are power!” This sentiment goes right to the heart of Robert Martyna’s passion for reading. Here, Robert Martyna shares some tips for good reading habits.

Start by keeping a brief log of your daily life for a week. In this way, Robert Martyna says you’ll be able to form an idea of the hours you spend reading. Find out how long your reading sessions are and how often they occur. Maybe you read before bed every night. Do you read a newspaper or a book during breakfast? Or maybe you mostly read magazines during restroom breaks? Many people do not read very much at all. Robert Martyna, CEO of Tradavo, concludes that by creating an awareness of your reading habits you can improve and better enjoy them.

Next, Robert Martyna suggests choosing a specific book to read. Whether it is a book you don’t think you have time for, or a book you have already read, hold it in your hand and open to the first page. As you hold this intriguing and idea filled book, make a personal commitment to read it.

Designate a comfortable, quiet and well-lit space in your home for reading. Make sure that there is a good lamp next to your favorite chair. By settling on a spot to read a book, you begin building a routine, which Robert Martyna, CEO of Tradavo, says is key to any kind of productivity. Using a thoughtfully chosen reading area will also serve to increase your focus and concentration. Consequently, you will understand more of what you read and remember it more effectively.

As the wise teacher told Robert Martyna, CEO of Tradavo, “Books are power!” Books provide a treasure trove of information to everyone – from clients, to family, to friends. Take note of your reading habits. Make time to read. Pick a book to read. Pick a place to read. Now go for it! Books are the cornerstone of Robert Martyna’s knowledge and success. They can also be yours.

Robert Martyna | What Makes an Entrepreneur?

January 16, 2010 1 comment

Historically there have been many different varieties of entrepreneurs in our culture. Robert Martyna, like many people, was tired of working for someone else. He, like others before him, dreamed of owning his own business and not having a boss. Robert Martyna followed this vision and his journey has led him to serve as CEO of Travado. That experience has given him a unique view on what other would be entrepreneurs should look out for when going into business for yourself.

Starting your own business does is not always reliant on a purely entrepreneurial bent. Robert Martyna emphasizes the attitude necessary to start a venture. Some people start their own business only to find that they end up working harder and longer for fewer rewards than their old wage-earning job. They feel trapped all over again, but in a new way. Robert Martyna, CEO of Tradavo, has observed fledgling entrepreneurs make the business their new boss, rather than becoming the boss of their business.

How do you be sure about what it takes to launch a successful startup? Until you try, you can’t fully count the cost, but there are some things that will help you begin to know. Robert Martyna, CEO of Tradavo, has outlined some common characteristics found in people who are likely to succeed at entrepreneurial endeavors. Many entrepreneurs come from a family tree of people who did not like working for others. Robert Martyna has observed that those individuals who successfully launch a venture are often raised by parents who preferred to work for themselves. The values of individual motivation and self-reliance were passed on by example from a previous generation.

Like Robert Martyna, you may have realized that being employed by a large company does not guarantee job security. Individuals who committed to an employer for decades used to feel very secure. These days that is no longer the case. In our rapidly changing economy, jobs can disappear abruptly.

Many great entrepreneurs were not great employees. Robert Martyna says you might be surprised how many individuals who launched their own businesses had been previously fired from or quit several jobs. Some of those expressed frustration with their job by quitting before they could be fired. These people were often most effectively motivated on his or her own, not by the leave of an employer.
