Adding Balance to Everything

Timo Traurig is inspired by change and is continually striving towards his objectives and learning new things. When it comes to his staff, he is reachable anytime for management guidance and has always shown faith in his employee’s abilities.

Creating Mejuvante and rising to the position he holds now has been an interesting and rewarding experience for him. Work entails juggling one’s personal and professional lives.

Similarly, he appreciates demanding activities that keep him and his thoughts away from the everyday rush and bustle of professional life. He explores new locations and interesting locals gaining insights to their way of life. He also ensures quality family vacations every year and keep a balance between his family, friends and work.

Understanding the Dialectic of Truth

Timo Traurig always appreciated Kant and Goethe’s philosophies. Goethe’s “Thun” or Tun, which says that success depends on three German letters—TUN, alias DO. The action of doing is the result of words and thoughts.

– First the thought

– Second the word

– Third the action => TUN > DO

He states, “You can easily understand a person’s mindset based on their actions and words.” A wrong mindset can be figured out by negative actions or words, which are based on negative thoughts, which are very toxic to any situation or person. He further adds that one should always be positive and replace negative thoughts little by little with optimistic views. He sees that a positive person anticipates health, happiness, motivation, and success and always sees the glass half full and focuses on what is there and how it can be refilled.

Further, Timo follows Rupert Lays dialectic for managers which can be reflected in Kant and his categorical golden rule which are again driving positive true thoughts. Categorically Golden rule by Kant: “People should treat others the same way they would want to be treated.” Always recognize the fact that each individual has his or her own purpose and reasons to live. We should not use them only for our own agenda and happiness; rather, we should uplift them and also recognize them as ends in themselves.

Be honest, helpful, and dialectically true to yourself and others around you, and be fair in treating others.

Achieving all Desired Goals

MeJuvante was launched under Timo Traurig by incorporating and financing the firm generically. Since then, the firm has been financed without any third-party money, neither loans nor shares, thus ensuring that not relying on financial stakeholders who influence your strategy for short-term gains. Timo sees this as a never-ending process in which he strives to achieve his goals and take MJ to the next level.

Timo supports developing countries such as in Africa, or local projects in India. He maintains a forest in the centre of Germany (Find out more on https://mejuvante.com/ueber-uns/umwelt) to compensate for CO2, already since the 1990’s and not just recently jump on to the green-wave-thing. “With the help of my German team, we grew substantially despite the ups and downs since 2005, such as Corona recently,” he says. However, playing on a global stage with a great team in India is also a great opportunity.

Having a specific target gives Timo clarity on what he wants to achieve; it might be a short-term or long-term goal.  He has set and achieved a range of goals, both personal and professional, and is currently working toward their completion. At no point in time did he let himself be distracted from short-term pitfalls by strictly following his long-term objectives.
