I view myself as a visual copywriter, using both words and design to share my message with the world. …

There are two types of people in the world: those who are lost and those who know they’re lost.
The moment I felt I belonged to the second group was magical. It meant I could start doing something about it.
Hearing of Essentialism was a true breakthrough moment for me.
As I recently resigned from my job and took a leap of faith, life is currently completely built upon my own decisions. Some days are great, others I feel steerless and aimless.
Coming across Essentialism was exactly the mental framework I was so desperately searching for. …
About your wins and losses. About being authentic and putting yourself in a vulnerable position. It’s assembling a community around your cause.
Building in public welcomes transparency and storytelling into your business. As people love stories, you stumbled upon the best marketing strategy ever. With your business playing the lead role, the story unfolds itself in front of the eyes of your audience. This is pure, digital gold.
Do it well and your momentum with an enthusiastic community generates an enormous amount of organic word of mouth — the gold standard for marketing.
Sure, failure always lies around the corner…
That’s what I had to tell myself after resigning from my recently started consultancy business.
Barely 2 months ago, I quit my full-time job at a European tech scale up to pursue my own dreams:
I would start as an independent consultant to help businesses optimize their customer service operations.
After 4 weeks, I realized that that wasn’t my passion.
I hear you think “how can you find out after only 4 weeks?”
It’s okay, I judged myself the same way.
It has been a tough road — judging myself for not doing the required work versus listening to my…
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be free and independent.
In every professional job I have had, I looked for ways to create my own role. I took action, responsibility and combined this with actual results. The last part was crucial in convincing my superiors that the freedom I got was justified. Yet, no matter the amount of freedom I acquired, it always felt wrong to work for someone else’s dreams. I knew I had to change something.
There was only one problem:
I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. …
I feel anxiety coming up while writing this.
Anxious about the stuff that hasn’t been written yet, not created, and not manifested. Unconsciously, I put a lot of pressure on myself.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t complain. I moved to Costa Rica almost four weeks ago and it has been surreal ever since. I found a home in the small, beautiful village of Sámara, on the Pacific Coast. Compared to the winter cold in Amsterdam, it’s a paradise. I will spare you the pictures.
Normally, when I travel, I always look for the next destination — chasing the next…
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
Your network is your net worth. It’s not about the people you know, but what they can do for you.
The only way your network is valuable to you is when two things happen:
Knowing this, it won’t be a big surprise that not only my first client but also my second client came from my own network. Two, totally different but great projects. …
I fell victim to the hype.
To this awfully popular, but interesting trend of being a digital creator.
2020 has changed my life — I decided to write instead of reading, to engage instead of consuming, and to collaborate instead of working solo. It’s insane how many opportunities arose in less than 6 months.
It’s funny to see independent creators coming in from every angle and from all sorts. Yet, I don’t worry, because I know that the pie is big enough:
Research shows that on a collaborative website such as a Wiki, 90% of the participants of a community…
Building in public equals learning in public for me.
Drafting tweets, writing articles, or setting up email funnels to build my business all contribute to the bigger picture — to become a better creator.
Documenting my journey, both the achievements and the failures, are valuable lessons. Looking back at the content I created in the last 4 months gives me hope.
Not one specific metric to chase, but seeing a month-over-month growth in all areas: the quality of my content, overall engagement, and finally, more revenue. …
