Since last week, we began the journey of me leaving my home country and moving across the world. I have received many questions about how I made that BIG decision. In this VLog, I decided to share three simple tips that can help you with any decision you want to make in life. Before you make any decision, be it as simple as ordering food at a restaurant or choosing who to spend your life with, consider these 3 key components. No matter how simple or important a decision you're making, considering these 3 key components will help you make the best decision for you.  You can read the full story of my transformation from being an Human Resources Specialist in Turkey to a Global Speaker and Entrepreneur in America here: https://joyyburcu.com/blog-detail/62/...  If you did enjoy this video, please subscribe to my channel and leave a comment.

I never shared this in detail before!! Embark on a riveting journey with me as I share the remarkable transformation from being an HR Specialist in Turkey to becoming a Global Speaker and Entrepreneur in the United States! Born and raised in Bursa, Turkey, I initially adhered to societal norms, pursuing a good degree, securing a decent job, and following the traditional life script. However, in 2015, I experienced a profound sense of dissatisfaction and embarked on a quest to discover the missing pieces in my life. Delving into the intricacies of the human mind through NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), I uncovered my true passions: to become an Inspirational Speaker, establish my own business, and relocate to the U.S. Undeterred by the challenges, I made a bold decision in 2016 to leave behind my comfortable life and start anew in America. Leaving everything behind, I faced resistance, especially from my father, who initially doubted my decision to quit a stable job and move to a foreign land. Overcoming these obstacles, I convinced my father and set off on a transformative journey. From navigating language barriers to pursuing education and joining Toastmasters International, my story unfolds with resilience and determination. Today, as the proud founder of JOYY! Marketing and Coaching, I integrate NLP processes to empower clients, fostering their personal and professional growth. Join me in this V log series as I recount the twists and turns of my journey, offering inspiration and motivation for you to make a difference in your own life.

False Evidence Appeared Real = FEAR We all have fears for certain things, right? It is almost impossible to be fearful because we are humans. We have lack of control over some life events and we have emotions that hold us from doing certain things. BUT! We have the power to create a life where we can control our fear. We can acknowledge our fears and overcome them. This episode is all about describing the fear but most importantly how to move from fear to freedom! Thank you for listening!! Always with JOYY!

Whenever you feel stuck, hopeless and desperate about something, that is a sign for a big thing coming into your life.  When you feel like you no longer have the energy for it or you feel like it's not working anymore. That's a huge test for you right there! A test for you to prove, you really want that thing! A test for you to still believe in it, even if you don't see it. You have to believe in your dreams, desires before you see it happening. You have to feel it before it happens in the Universe. You have to reach your mind how to feel good each and every day. You have to make the effort my friend to live the life beyond your dreams.  I shared a short story from my life and I BELIEVE it'll inspire you and myself for our next moves in life.  Not too far ago, June, 2021 I was emotionally melting down. I was stuck and almost hopeless that I could keep my company alive. I had so many payments, and lack of clients to continue. Since April 2020, since I relocated myself in Turkey from the USA, I was struggling to hold on to my life. Why? Because I left my second family back in the USA and couldn't even say goodbye to them. I had to get into the salvation plane and make my way to be with my loved ones in Turkey. I sold everything that I owned in the USA and had to trash so many of my belongings. Long story short, I was very much unhappy even though I was able to spend that uncertain time with my parents. And I was dreaming of going back to the USA even just to say goodbye to my friends. Just a few months after I came to Turkey, I lost my grandma… Another few months after that, my mom had surgery. Then, I started having so many different immune system issues. And in the midst of those hard emotions, I still chose to work hard every single day to not lose my momentum that I created in the USA.  I created a podcast (The Coffee o'clock), an international speaking club (The Joy of Speaking Club) and guess what? I gained amazing clients right after my mom's surgery, and I still work with them! Miracle happened and I saved my company. Not only did I save my company, but also I made a trip to the USA in Nov, 2021 and stayed there for a month!! Saw all of my friends like family, met my clients, enjoyed my time in the USA. Even learned REIKI from an amazing soul and my dear friend Dagmara. Also, I had a photoshoot with another professional and a dear friend, Jarnard. Then, I came back to Turkey with a heart full of love. This was a reminder for me that you can go from zero to big dreams!  A reminder for me and for you, you can get what you dream of. Never forget your superpower! And remember that your super power comes from the highest power.  So go make your dreams come true, never let anyone or any situation change your mind. Never give up on your dream!  Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt8cSFTdJuE If you feel like you need guidance in your journey, I and my phoenix company (JOYY!) is here for YOU!

Im Marktgespräch der LS-Exchange am 19. November 2020 ist die Diskussion über das DAX-Level weiter dominant. Wenig Bewegung nach dem Anstieg Anfang November skizzieren das Chartbild.

I spent the last week in the city of Napier, here in New Zealand. New Zealand is in this surreal, dreamlike situation. On August 9, the Ministry of Health declared 100 consecutive days without local coronavirus cases. The only cases in the country came from people traveling into New Zealand from other countries.However, a new cluster of cases was discovered a week ago and the city of Auckland went into lockdown with a Level 3 alert. The rest of the country is on Level 2, which means that most places are still open—schools, businesses, restaurants, and hotels.While staying at my hotel in Napier, a hotel employee told me that things were understandably slower because of the coronavirus. Typically, there would be busloads of Chinese tourists coming to stay at the hotel but now there are none.Tourism is New Zealand’s biggest export industry, contributing to 20% of total exports. The biggest source of New Zealand tourists come from Australia, followed by China, followed by the US. To deal with this gap in tourists because of the coronavirus, New Zealand’s travel industry had tried using technology to solve their challenges. In June, Tourism New Zealand hosted a two-hour livestream of penguins hanging around the Christchurch International Antarctic Centre. The livestream was hosted on Chinese app Weibo and 1.6 Million viewers tuned in to see the penguins.Two professional travel influencers Xiaomo and Ahou have partnered with Tourism New Zealand on a series of New Zealand-themed livestreams on Weibo. Travel companies all around the world are experimenting with livestreaming. The purpose of these livestreams is to entertainment, inform, and hopefully make a sale. You could reach more Chinese people virtually vs. physically. So could you also make more money virtually vs. physically?Last year, New Zealand Tourism partnered with Viya, China’s biggest livestreamer, who flew to Auckland to showcase a host of local goods. Within a four hour livestream where she reached 10 Million Chinese viewers, Viya sold $30 Million worth of New Zealand products including skin cream, honey, and cereal.And China is New Zealand’s largest trade partner. In 2008, New Zealand became the first OECD country to sign a free trade agreement with China, which still exists today. On top of tourism, China receives goods from New Zealand in industries such as dairy, wood, and meat. The interests of this small island nation may not create earthquakes on the global stage, but it can carve out a profitable niche for buyers and tourists from China. While New Zealand can’t welcome Chinese tourists, the internet still allows you to connect with Chinese buyers.In the meantime, hotels around the country will have to rely on domestic tourism.This Week’s Most Popular Update:Update #52 - Unicorns, Joyy, and Disney Indonesia This is a public episode.

Welcome to East West Hurricane! 🌪We update you on the most essential news from Asia in tech, media, and business—the things you need to know that you probably haven’t heard in Western media.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram! ⚡️Sea Group is Booming 📈As a combination of e-commerce, gaming, and financial services, Sea Group is one of the best positioned companies in Asia to benefit from the coronavirus. They just reported their Q2 earnings, where they experienced 93% year-on-year revenue growth. Free Fire, one of their mobile games, reached 100 Million monthly active users and became the highest grossing mobile game in Latin America and Southeast Asia.Their e-commerce app Shopee competes directly with Alibaba/Rocket Internet backed Lazada and is in a strong position right now. Shopee was the number one ranked app in Southeast Asia on Android, in terms of downloads, monthly active users, and time spent. In Indonesia, Shopee’s largest market, Shopee experienced 130% year-on-year revenue growth. SeaMoney, Sea’s digital payments arm, added five million new users over the last quarter. Sea’s areas of focus (gaming, e-commerce, and financial services), are quite literally some of the best bets you could make in a post-covid world. From their Q2 results, it shows.Bigo Moves From Hong Kong to Singapore 🇸🇬Joyy Group, a competitor to TikTok in the social/video/mobile app space, operates a group of apps including livestreaming app Bigo Live and short video app Likee. Both of these apps were part of the recent Indian ban of several Chinese mobile apps. While the scrutiny being faced by Joyy is a lot less than TikTok/Bytedance, this Chinese tech company still realises the importance of optics and positioning in the current business environment. Joyy has recently moved its servers from Hong Kong to Singapore, in an attempt to distance themselves from Chinese association. Bigo was originally founded in Singapore before being bought by the Chinese Joyy Group, and 91% of their 460 Million monthly active users are in international markets outside of China. Considering their revenue and user base is so heavily weighted internationally, it’s critical that Joyy keeps governments happy. Otherwise, they could start facing similar threats as TikTok.Chinese Electric Scooters, With the Help of Vin Diesel 🏍Yadea Group Holdings is a Chinese electric scooter company currently worth around $22 Billion. Due to the coronavirus, demand for electric scooters has been increasing and Yadea has seen 91% year-on-year growth in H1 revenue. The company sells 162 electric scooter models and exports around the world. American actor Vin Diesel, best known for his roles in the Fast & Furious film series, is one of the main faces behind the Yadea brand. 90% of Yadea’s revenue still comes from Mainland China, so employing an international Western star like Vin Diesel might help increase their brand’s appeal outside of China. Electric vehicles, and in this specific case the subsegment of electric scooters, is a rapidly growing market. 30% of mopeds, scooters, and motorcycles were electric in 2019, and that number is expected to reach 77% by 2040. Consumer behaviour in China, which soon may translate around the world, has influenced people to turn to electric scooters for economic, environmental, and safety reasons. This is a public episode.

Welcome to East West Hurricane! 🌪We update you on the most essential news from Asia in tech, media, and business—the things you need to know that you probably haven’t heard in Western media.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram! ⚡️Kuaishou and Tencent are Latest Livestreaming Darlings 👾Kuaishou, the Chinese short-form mobile video app, has revealed their latest data around active users and engagement. They announced that they gained 70 Million more daily active users in the first half of 2020. At the end of last year, Kauishou only had 100 Million users, meaning the company has grown 70% over six months. One of the main reasons people use Kuaishou is for livestreaming, which furthers the narrative that livestreaming is truly exploding this year because of the coronavirus. Kuaishou’s biggest rival is likely Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok owned by same parent company Bytedance. Douyin and other rivals like Douyu, Huya, and Joyy also experienced strong growth this year.Tencent, the Chinese tech giant that is technically the world’s largest gaming company, has been beta testing a gaming livestreaming platform called Trovo Live. This is seen as a direct competitor to the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform Twitch. Trovo also announced a $30 Million partnership fund this month to help support creators on their platform. It’s an interesting investment for Tencent, as they are also investors in Douyu and Huya. In recent weeks, Microsoft has shut down their gaming livestreaming platform Mixer and Twitch has been hit by several sexual harassment allegations. Facebook Gaming has benefitted the most from these developments with creators migrating to their platform instead. So Livestreaming, whether for e-commerce, gaming or anything else, continues to grow.Premier League Matches Taken Down in China ⚽️The final match of the English Premier League on July 22 between Liverpool and Chelsea was taken off CCTV, China’s largest state-run broadcaster. The match was demoted to a lesser known channel and it’s unclear whether future Premier League matches will still be shown on CCTV. This likely results from the UK government’s recent decision to ban Huawei from building 5G infrastructure as part of the ongoing trade war.In terms of media rights, China is the Premier League’s second largest international market and a major strategic priority. The deal between the Premier League and their Chinese broadcast partner is worth $700 Million over a three-year period. There is a lot of hype for all sports leagues, especially European football leagues, to see China as their most valuable, under-tapped market. While foreign leagues can put together detailed and ambitious plans for China, political machination always have to be considered. Just ask the NBA. The Opportunity for Indian Family Offices 🏦After the Indian government’s recent bans of Chinese apps and new regulations on foreign investment, many Chinese investors are unsure how to proceed in the Indian market. In this vacuum, Indian family offices will play a key role. A report found that India had 150,000 ultra-high net worth (UHNW) families in 2018 with a cumulative net worth of $2 Trillion. That number is expected to rise to 400,000 families with a cumulative net worth of $5 Trillion by 2025. Family offices are usually professionally run investment funds set up to manage a family’s wealth. Across the world, family offices have been getting more interested in tech startup investments and this KrAsia article interviews several Indian investors for their first hand perspective on the topic. Family offices have historically stuck to more traditional investments like real estate until a 2012 regulation allowed Indian private equity and venture capital to raise funds more easily from Indian investors. This paired with the maturing Indian tech ecosystem and now the tensions with China leaves a major opportunity for family offices to make more direct investments into the new high-risk/high-reward ‘asset class’ of tech startups. No matter where the money is coming from, this is good news for any Indian startup knowing that their pool of potential investors is increasing. This is a public episode.
