“The plan to take a world trip with my son is taking serious form.

See and seize opportunities
Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a struggle. However, opportunities are not always obvious. Many people wonder how I can turn a transatlantic cruise, a relationship with a playboy, or even picking olives in Italy into a successful retreat, book, or workshop.
In this live online workshop I will help you identify your added value, and show you the opportunities.
There are three important steps: Recognize, Seize, and Share:
- Be open and creative: recognize opportunities
- Take action: seize opportunities
- Be visible and communicate effectively to share your project
Make money doing what you love
The secret is: don’t think of it as a business. Do what you like and what you are good at and business will come to you:
- Realize that your added value often lies very close to your passion
- Find out what your clients need and how your offer meets that need
- You don’t need any more diploma’s: work with what you have
- Create a slogan that makes your service sound unique
- Start talking about it, be visible, offer tips and advice
- Stop listening to people who say what you want is not possible
- Try things out. Start doing what you love, be out there!
- Grow and learn

How I wrote a book in one week with ChatGPT
Writing a book in one week might sound like a daunting task, but with the right approach, it becomes more achievable than you'd think. I recently wrote a business book for a client in just seven days, using my Reverse Writing methodology and ChatGPT. Along the way, I learned some valuable lessons that anyone can benefit from—even if you're not writing a book.
My 13 most memorable speaking gigs
I have been a motivational speaker for more than 25 years. Each of the 1000 keynotes and 2 TEDx speeches was special. Either because of the location (Qatar, South Africa, Lithuania, New York, in a zoo, in the money museum during my collection of €16 of foreign coins for charity) or because of the special connection I had with the audience (entrepreneurs, travellers, professional women, veiled or not). I treasure the messages people sent me afterwards; how my story changed their lives and motivated them to quit their jobs, become entrepreneurs or make another important life decision after hearing my talk. Some events stood out. In this blog, I share some of my most memorable events, bloopers, and some tips for speakers at the end.
Inner peace
For a few months now I have had the feeling of enormous peace within me. I almost can not believe it. The unrest that has always been there is gone. I was always in 'survival mode', always alert, busy, and productive. Now it feels more like just BEING and enjoying.
