    Your 5 Moves

    Don’t you just LOVE it when you are in deep dive focus, working on your things and then.. swoooosh! Out of nowhere this golden nugget crosses your path and clears up your next steps to take. I had this when I was going through Brendon Burchard’s High Performance Habits. It has a nice view on quite a lot of activities that I have personally already implemented in my life (oh, and is a must read/ listen btw! Great book) so I was listening extra carefully with the intention of finding tweaks and clues that would up my clarity and motivation as to be honest.. I felt a bit stuck in…

    Pocket Money

    POCKET MONEY My 7 year old is an only child with divorced parents, extended family on both sides (as my ex and I both found new love) and lots of (childless) ‘uncles’ and ‘aunties’. #spoiledkid defqon 1 alert So let’s just say that he is not short of attention, presents, and fun things to do. The kid travels the world (I asked, he’s not sure if the Bahama’s or Abu Dhabi is his favourite destination. It’s not Ibiza. It’s fun there, but quite normal since we are there all-the-time. #spoiledmuch?) Needless to say that my son – just like all other kids – should learn a thing or two about…

Fully aware that it is not a quick shot of entertainment anymore. It is full on escapism – you are avoiding something else. Most likely something that had to be done like YESTERDAY. Yuck. There comes the guilty feeling.. crawling its way into your mind, taking all the space that you have patiently reserved for your FLOW. Well you can’t work now, can you?! And since we’re not, let’s come up…

    If All Else Fails – Outwork Everyone

    You either love strategy & planning – or you don’t. Being in the (financial) strategy & planning space of things I get to work with both plan-o-holics and entrepreneurs who prefer to ‘go-with-the-flow’, which is a glammed up word for ik-doe-maar-wat (I’m just doing something). If you are seeking balance and profit in your life THIS is the part you’ll need to look at, not the amount of hours that you work or the count of holidays.The actions that you take on a daily base are the source of how your business is moving AND how you feel about your entrepreneurship.You’ll need to find the right mix between your how…

    Put Your Money Where Your Goal Is

    Moving towards your Soul Goals is all about taking action that gets you closer to where you want to be. – Of course you KNOW this, but are your actions really aligned with what you know and say? This is what I often journal on. The layer underneath is of course: how much am I bullshitting myself? And, do I truly have faith and believe in what I want to achieve? This is not about failure or giving yourself a hard time for slacking a bit. See it as an internal audit that gives you an indication of how you can tweak and improve your actions, which is absolutely fabulous…
