Workbook for starters
Entrepreneurship can be magical! Especially if you know what you want and why you want it and you have the right amount of energy, focus and passion for what you do. But what if you’re doubting whether you are the right person for entrepreneurship? What if you’re not sure if you’re strong enough and good enough to make a start? Is your idea good enough? Are your abilities sufficient to ensure your success?
You are by no means alone on your entrepreneurial journey. You are part of a large group of ambitious people who are all trying to make a difference in the world. A group of people who have the energy and passion, but just need a little guidance and support to get their ideas of the ground. This book is about self-confidence, focus, and living your life out of strength rather than fear and apprehension.
This practical workbook is my contribution to your journey and an essential guide to making the right choices in the field of entrepreneurship. The practical exercises help you to discover what makes you happy, where your passion lies and how you can really make entrepreneurship work for you.
I share with you my biggest challenges and my most successful formulas and systems that have allowed me to build my own business from scratch.
My entrepreneurial journey has made me the person I am today. This book will give you the edge you need to become the best version of yourself, helping your make sound choices and lead a happy and fulfilling life as an entrepreneur.

15 years
For more than 15 years I have focused on guiding, motivating and inspiring starters and Start-ups large and small, in various industries at home and abroad. I started my first business when I was 27. Full of energy and confidence, I set to work. A lot was unclear, I knew too little about entrepreneurship. It wasn’t in my ‘blood’, but I started out anyway, because I believed in myself and in my idea.
In the meantime, more than 15 years later, I have gained a lot of experience and helped more than 200 ambitious clients achieve their goals and dreams, the majority of which now have successful businesses and are active in a variety of different industries at home and abroad. I also work for the reintegration company Startwijzer, where I coach people who are reintegrating towards entrepreneurship or suitable work.

Starters large and small
In 2020 I launched my practical workbook “Your journey towards entrepreneurship”. A guide book developed especially for starters and people who are considering starting their own business. I am also fortunate enough to be regularly invited to many universities in Europe and Asia to give seminars on empowerment, pro-activity and entrepreneurial thinking. The majority of my time though, is dedicated to supporting start-ups, (especially sustainable) start-ups that want to grow from a € 1 to € 10 million turn over. I do this both on behalf of the entrepreneurs themselves and also on behalf of governments at home and abroad.
