Let’s get started…
First week of the Working ON My Business…
I can’t wait to see where it takes you.
Before we go any further… if you did NOT answer the 11 questions from Friday – please CLEAK HERE to do that now (you’ll need to scroll all the way to the bottom for that).
When you’re done… let’s get you started with…
Work Smarter, Not Harder – Part 1
In the coming 4 weeks – you are going to “install” 4 new strategic habits that will help you work smarter instead of harder.
Master Entrepreneurs are those that go from where they are now to where they want to be with the minimum amount of steps. That’s what it means to work smarter.
When you get there – doing business becomes easier, life is more flowing, you get results faster…
The first habit we’re going to “install” is coming up with NEW IDEAS on demand.
New ideas can be answers to questions, solutions to problems, new ways of doing things… – it’s all about releasing your creative powers.
Throughout the program we’re going to use the MG-SPI system for success
- M for MINDSET
To be successful in anything you do – you need to have the “right” mindset; - G for GOAL
If you don’t know where you’re going, you have very little chances to get there; - S for STRATEGY
If the goal is your destination, then the strategy is the vehicle to get you there; - P for PLAN
This is your roadmap – how are you going to “drive” your “vehicle” in order to get to your destination; - I for Implementation
You can have the most supporting mindset, the clearest goal, the best strategy in the world and a perfect plan… But without actually taking action – following the plan – you will NOT achieve your desired success.
Let’s start with your MINDSET…
Work smarter instead of harder – means using your most powerful tool – your brain – in a better way.
Your brain is an answering machine. Ask any question, and your brain has no choice but to come up with an answer (or answers) instantaneously.
We’re going to use this function of your brain – to boost your creativity and transform you to an Idea Generating Machine.
Set your GOAL for this week…
Here’s a great goal for you:
Solving your biggest struggle in your business right now.
How’s that for a start of the program?
Choose the STRATEGY you will use…
You can choose any problem-solving strategy you already know, but I would recommend… for this week practice my favorite strategy:
The Idea Generator
Remember – your brain is an answering machine… so start by stating your biggest struggle as a question.
For example, here is my biggest struggle lately: “How do I get my clients to be fully committed to the process?”
Write your own question down, and then…
Read the question, take a deep breath and start writing 10 ideas for possible solutions.
What ideas? It doesn’t matter. Just write down 10 ideas.
I am pretty sure you can easily write down four or five ideas. But at six it starts getting harder…
This is when your brain starts sweating.
No matter how hard it is… Come up with 10 ideas!
That’s when you develop your “smart” muscles.
PLAN your action in your agenda…
Your next step is to actually plan this process.
My recommendation: plan to invest 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY in the coming 5 days to come up with new solutions for (the same) biggest struggle in your business.
Every day start with a blank page, and if some ideas keep coming back – just write them down – and keep looking for more ideas.
But don’t trust your memory… Plan those “creative sessions” in your agenda.
Now it’s time to IMPLEMENT…
Take 10 minutes, right now, and come up with 10 ideas how to solve your struggle.
As soon as you have them… write down in the comment box below:
- What is your biggest struggle in your business these days?
- The 10 ideas you came up with – to solve this struggle.
Repeat this process EVERY DAY for the coming 5 days.
(work on the same struggle during these 5 days)
My commitment to you…
- I’m looking forward to read your struggle and ideas below;
- I will be there for you on Wednesday to support you with any question, challenge or setback you encounter;
- I’m looking forward to celebrate your progress and results on Friday (I’m curious to hear what solution you’ll go for).
- If still a struggle, during the hot seat Zoom session of July 21 – we can work together to find even more solutions.
Live fully, stay awesome,
Nisandeh

What is my biggest struggle in my business these days?
Friday 24th 2022
I started out with: I need to be more visible and that is my biggest struggle. I can rationalize it, I know what to do, but that first step. However, when brainstorming I discovered that in order to be more visible I need help. Because an important reason and (true) an excuse not to do my social media and bi more visible, is lack of time. There is too much work for one person. So the two 'problems' are more or less entangled.
My 'solutions'
1. Put an ad in the local newspaper
2. Put a button 'vacature' on my website
3. Ask for a zzp'er of freelancer in my newsletter (that is what I did this Friday)
4. Put a job offer on Facebook and/or Instagram/Twitter
5. Ask around in my network
6. Put a job offer in my signature
7. Put a job offer on LinkedIn
8. Make a list of what I do in a day (also to see if I could work more efficiently
9. Make a list: what do I want, what do I need, what do I like and what do I hate about my work.
10. Make a video.
108 comments
Sorry I was sick. Couldn't do anything. Catching up now.
New ideas to get the things done:
1. make a list
2. do one thing of the list
3. buy a paper shredder
4. "make my bed" in the morning, so one task is done perfectly and I can start the day feeling good
5. put on the music
6. be more focussed in chosing/attracting clients
7. don't have to help everyone
8. have compassion
9. meditate
10. sell the business
11. emigrate
12. trust the universe in making more impact without all the stuff
13. buy a new computer
14. reward myself more often

Idea Generating Machine day 5/5: my biggest struggle in my business at the moment is how to free up time to work on my strategy for my new business
Yesterday I had a breakthrough. In the Conscious Entrepreneur class I was asked a questions which, in combination with my Personal Life Coach session earlier that day hit a home run: I would down the index of my plan of approach for my new business. It just came to me in a flash based on the questions and with thanks to Dr. Kotter. That's the power of well formulated strategic questions.
The steps for today are therefore not ideas but my implementation plan. A plan that I commit to fullfill:
1. Stop procrastinating
I know what to do. I love what I'm going to do. So get on with it.
2. Create a sense of urgency (my why)
3. Create a strategic vision and initiatives for my businessproject HappyHomes.
4. Communicate the vision
5. Build a guiding and powerfull coalition
6. Create and build
7. Enabling action by removing obstacles (such as raising funds, raising consciousness etc.)
8. Implement my HappyHome project
9. Generate and celebrate short-terms wins
10. Make the HappyHomes concept a sustainable one my anchoring it within the culture of the municipality / country

I have one question for you Alexander. If i were a woman and looking for a program like yours, I would be hesitant to follow a course/ training with a man. What do you know?
Why are you the one to go to for me as a public leading woman? Because the TA is fantastic and I think you can add so much value... but this might be a doubt to overcome...
576 comments
Now that I write this down, I feel something else. Why do you, as a man, think that I, as a woman, need this? Why are you not offering this to the men? am i not good enough??
I know I am not a leading woman in public but this might be valuable insights in how they think:)

How do I get a constant stream of new assignments? (Day 5)
53. Contact a salesteam. explain that, instead of them trying to convince people over the phone to buy something, they can now phone people to only ask if they can send them a 2 minute video. More people will say yes, and they can call much more people per day. Then phone them back the next day and now the animation has already done the hard work of convincing them why they would want this product. So using animations to do the selling.
54. Don't give up on the first 'no'. Some people have to hear the idea of puchasing an animation 7 times before they say yes.
55. Start giving webinars.
56. Get on stage at some business event.
57. Give a TED talk.
58. Find partners who already do business with bigger corporations and offer them a fee if they can get me in. Or my animation might be an upgrade on the service they are allready offering to those corporations
59. Invent something totaly new in animation style, something magical, to seperate myself from competition.
60. start calling past clients and ask them if they have friends/contacts that I can approach that might want an animation
61. Make flyers and go gine them to people at business events or put them at art galleries, or golf clubs, or...
62. Find a way to 10x my price, so I only need to make 2 or 3 animations per year.
63. Find a way to make a 70 or 80K animation, so I only need to make 1 animation a year.

FRIDAY JUNE 24, DAY 5/5
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! I CHOSE MY FRUIT TREE!!! 🥳🍍🌳
Thanks to the idea generator process this week and the Q&A session with Nisandeh, I was able to overcome doubt and finally choose the business idea that I will build during WOMB program.
MY CHOSEN BUSINESS IDEA IS:
⭐️⭐️⭐️THE BABY HOTEL⭐️⭐️⭐️
The one question (asked by Nisandeh during Q&A) that eliminated my doubt is: “WHICH ONE OF THESE IDEAS WILL MAKE A GREATER CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD?”
The answer was immediately clear to me. Fear and doubt evaporated in a moment of enlightenment.
Thank you Nisandeh for this brilliant question. To honor it, today I put the answering machine to work on the following question:
*How will THE BABY HOTEL make a great contribution tot he world?*
Hereunder 10 ideas:
1. By providing lots of caring and loving parenting support via live and online events
2. By providing reliable, clear,
practical and very useful information to parents
3. By building a very strong and international community of parents where experiences, pains and tips can be shared
4. By providing professional and loving support to babies and their parents during sleepless nights
5. By providing rest and healing to parents reaching (or already in) a burn out
6. By teaching parents about their children’s sleeping cycles, developmental needs, behavioral psychology so they know exactly what to do to teach their children to sleep
7. By rising awareness about the importance of rest, predictability, regularity, clarity and routines for children’s sleep quality
8. By showing parents that it is us (adults/parents) who lovingly (and mostly unconsciously) give unclear signals and bad sleep habits to our little ones
9. By joining the dots of the relation between good sleep, good nutrition, good physical and mental activities to achieve a good night sleep
10. By supporting and facilitating everything parents need to reach a rested, balanced and joyful life.
So this is the end of our first week! I feel so happy and thankful!
First, I would love to thank @Nisandeh for your mindblowing and life transformative insights. I truly can not thank you enough 🙏.
Secondly, I want to also thank @Vered for partnering me with two wonderful accountability bodies. The match is way above my expectations!
Third, I would like to thank my awesome accountability bodies Stance and Sigrid for your wonderful perspectives, advice and for sharing your experiences with me. I am so blessed to have you!
Finally I want to give special thanks to all the lovely people that provided me support, advice and insight this week. Thank you @Max Hirschel, @Manny Moerman, @Machiel Emmering, @Marie-Louise Krause, @Sin Declerc and @Ine Mulder! (Unfortunately I have not chosen Dia de los Muertos Ine, but I promise I will make it one day).
Feels like this choice is certainly one of the most important choices in my life! ❤️

Dear Maru,
CONGRATULTIONS on chosing your FRUIT THREE: The BABY HOTEL. I cannot wait to follow you on the journey of creation. And I just love the way in which you gratefully shared your announcement. I've learned alot from your the way in which you describe your process. Reflecting on it, I realize that I should adjust the manner in which I approach my new business. I must grap the chance and use W.O.M.B. to realize my dream business and contribution instead of doing what I've always done. Thanks to your input, I realize that my focus need adjusting.

Working on my biggest struggle in my business currently:
- That potential clients cannot find me for what I can contribute to solving their problems and/or seeing their opportunities. What I do can be put more on the market than just a by-product of my work of previous work of work from the university. My main struggle is to position myself based on my expertise and what I can contribute to the market. So it is a matter of the ‘right’ visibility.
o Lead to that I get business that is too divers (my problem that I like it but);
o Another issues that clients want one thing but I can offer more than one thing, so I question myself do I create different channels for different things or find people around me that I work together with, employ and supervise so I can indirectly to these many things. This look a lot like what I do in education (supervising master students on projects, some come via a company to my (I help structuring) or I find a student for a company, but this is done via my position in the University. I gain the knowledge but not value for money (or the company/institution gets is cheap).
