Hi Hereby my preparation video:

Too soon, I tried to use the two platform. But it did not bring me the right questions I tried the Dutch words and English Words around: reading, writing and mathematics. But it does not work

I uses the two links to find questions. I used all kinds of wordsl like: Lezen, rekenen en spelling And also Reading writing and mathematic

Thank you very much for you workshop. Fast and valuable, just the way I like it. I had to reserve a special time to go over it all. My biggest insights: That you can make a book about the top 100 questions my TA has. And that you can find them in two great websites. That really blowed my mind away .

1. why I must publish an expert book: It gives me an expert position. It helps me create a training It gives me a teaching tool It helps me create a system I have a book of my buddy that I could really use. We are giving a lunch together for my clients and I show her book to them I can give this book to schools and other and cooperation’s for primary schools. My n… Read More

This list of Nisandeh Neta is great. Hard to ad anything. However here are some ideas of mine 1. Eliminate distraction from ALL your devices. Whatsapp on your computer can still make sounds. 2.

CLIENTS: 1. Do: Ask and listenbefore you speak 2. Don’t: Be too enthousiastic. If clients try to compliment me, oh you are very enthoustiastic, I know I was not listening enough. 3.

1. When asking your netwerk, be specific about what you want and need. Also about mindset. 2. The MINDSET can be a little different from yours: What I read in the Quadrant from Robbert Kyosaki was that you need 4 kinds of people in your life. You need them all. How ever. That means that you expect different things from them A work ethic and willing to grow how ever… Read More

Hi Tineke, I agree with you that small talk is important. I had a golf session. He said:”Ah the karate lady!” We spoke a little bit and the lesson was spot on. He used the info about my private live indirectly without me knowing it. Unfortunately, a coaching acadamey that changes in the meantime is part of your learning process. I learned that the hard way. For … Read More

Very good Maria

1. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT CAN FOCUS IF YOU CAN’T It is hard for me to focus and be creative at the same time. Especially if I have to THINK, I like to work with people that keep me in line in the most friendly way. Nisandeh and Vered for example.

Energize myself 1. OUTSOURCE The biggest thing I did was outsource the following – Cleaning: I hate cleaning – Laundry: I hate doing laundry even more. I first did a barter. My cleaning lady did my laundry. I taucht her daughter. Now she does not want that any more. She askes only €12,50 more. HELLOOOOO….. Well let just say that I thought of it as contribution… Read More

Use the …………10 steps to. 4. … Read More

Do every day, 1. PLAN Make a plan for the day It does not have to be a beautifull list. Just a list in your notebook. After one day you see how productive you are. If you were not productive, you realize that immediately. 2. TIME IS PRESSIOUS In my case: avoid useless koffie meetings/breakfast as much as possible. Use your time wisely What I used to have is a … Read More

1. Take a lot of time before the start. Especially with new client. In my case I work with children. I always let the parents come first.

Invite your clients a nice office/place. It i… Read More

1. In my case I use GRAPHS that children get with their reports when they grow big time 2. I BLOG about things I talk about with parents, if their questions and especially the answers are relevant. 3. a POLL on linked in can be very valuable. How ever, It could be wise to ask some people in your netwerk to respond. The poll must not be too specific. You can connect and… Read More

1. Have a plan A, B and or C Especially when you take on something new. Think ahead. 2. Don’t fall for the “do not think negative” trap Of course it is very important not to think only bad things can happen. But some people take the self forfilling propthesy too far. And try to drag you with them. It is more than normal to have a bad/ worse case scenario and be pre… Read More

This is for me the best generator, because KEEPING CALM is challenging. How ever. Over the years I learned that I used to panic over everything. I panic if I feel that I do not have control over the situation. In my private live I had a use crisis. Thinking we were going to loose everything. But guess what. We gained soo much more than we even thought possible. If we did … Read More

I always to read your comments. And I make it an effort to implement at leas one of your ideas. Number 2 is I believe the most important for me. First things first.

When I started I was really nervous when a client came for the first time. In fact, it was a problem even if they became clients. Because I learned to ask the right questions. Meeting a client for the first time is always exiting. 1. HAVE A SYSTEMIZED ORDER I always have a systemized order in my head. I do not plan the questions, but the topics. Then with those topic… Read More

1. Ask questions: – Clients love sometimes to just release some of the stress. 2. Ask questions about what they already did. 3. Ask questions about what they want as a result and what they expect from you. – When is our working together a succes from you. Most of the time I found out since I am doing this, I would go in the totally wrong direction if I did not. … Read More

1. STOP STORAGE> GIVE AWAY My husband and I saved a lot of money by stopping storage. We storaged old furniture if we could not sell it Or to save for the kids if they would move out.

Hi Aramik, I like the BONUS the most. I do not know it will work for my clients. But it could be something just by changing the idea a little bit. Therefor you know instantly if your prospects are nice to work with. If they want to do the job.

Hi Franck I like your Ideas especially – e-book with a 100 tips – Network events, I would like to join next time again

Maybe you can contact Annemiek Steur. She is a succesfull serial writer, since a very young age.

Hi Aramik, Thank you for this fantastic comment with a lot of value. What I like in your comments, especially this one is the word PLAN I have a JV, you have a PLAN. I have a funnel, you have a 4 step plan. My top of mind is to make a fantastic 4x give away that people really want to download.

Co-productions: I am working on that as we speak. I do not know what will happen The LinkedIn Private groups: I never go into them. But it seems to work? That is great.

Hi Aramik, I really like your list. I like it so much, that I went over it, one by one. (I could recommend that) I made my own Idea Generator on how to use your comment and get the most out of it. 1. I made 3 rows: Do/ Improve/ Do not in my paper notebook 2. I went to all the comments (nr 40 is missing, is that on purpose?) 3. I put all the numbers in the rows. … Read More

Hi Aramik, I like your ideas. except #1. What inpires me is to write my goals every single day. Question, does every goal work? What if your goal does not work?

Because it keeps me focussed, new ideas, celebrate even the smallest succes and at the same time give me a chance to inspire other peop… Read More

That would be great. Thank you Aramik, for inspiring Vered to be more visual on this page.

Hi Naomi, looks like a nice idea. Can you give an exemple?

New Succes Habbits 1. Do CHALLENGES and reflect about it I found doing challenges really powerfull. First of all I can celebrate every single day, week. And if I did not follow trough, I can reflect on why I did not do it and learn from that. 2. Do not do it alone. In a COMMUNITY like this it is nice to share, get and give Ideas. 3. What WORKS for you. If yo… Read More

Hi Gerdy, I really like this comment, because you bailed out because of the rules and regulations. I do know companies that have sooooo many rules just to be able to start. My husband is working for one of them as en entrepreneur. I had the same feeling. This is crazy. Now, he is in and does very well. Now he leans back. They need him very much and he gets what he want… Read More

1. I try to connect with my suppliers as much as possible 2. I try share a membership with bigger organisation if I really need that membership 3. I work with projects of three month. They pay in advance or in terms and add 5% with automation payments 4. I do not work with offertes. How ever, I do email with our agreements 5. Biggest trap: Do not fall for it: What is … Read More

I know that the idea generater is about “What to ask’ But what if you did all that. Pracisted. Got ovations from my pitch, but then realize that it is a waste of time and money? If you know where you can find your clients or suppliers, all those question will not work. So my comments will be about WHERE to GO! Then if you know where to go, you can use the great que… Read More

I Really like this comment. Can you tell me how this changed you? This sometimes works for me. But I fall back sometimes. Are you always able to think like that? Or do you sometimes fall back.

Hi Lieve, Nice to meet you here again! What do you mean by give complements?

1. Ask WHAT you can help them with. They they tell their full story. 2. Ask what is the PROBLEM In this question I narrow it down 3. Ask WHAT have THEY DONE already? Sometimes nothing. That is great. You get virgins! If they have had help from other people you must know EXACTLY what they have done already. Or even worse. They want you to compare or compete. I told a pro… Read More

Hi Muriel, Always a great pleasure. A great gift. Normally I sit down and write down the things I can check or change by reading Nisandeh’s ideas Now I do the same with yours. Here are my comments. 1. GOALS: I set a lot of goals, big GOALS even. But the people have to want. In my mind, working with schools would help. However… The schools do not always want. Having sai… Read More

I had NO CLUE what to write. I started to do a few things 1. Scroll to other peoples messages, especialy from the top commenters. 2.

I love your list It was really appealing. I had to restrain myself not to call you immediately. The only reason I did not, because I am in the middle of things. Of course I was reading Nisandeh’s comment. For me 40. is something I like to add to my personal list.

This Challenge is not my favourite. Looking at all the great morning routines, I realize I have a long way to go. So I start with total honesty. 1. I wake up at different times. (This I can easily change) 2. I have a hot shower 3. Brush my teeth 4. I have a bad, but mostly gluten free breakfast and coffee. It is nice, and easy to prepare. 5. I read email and bad things … Read More

Hi Naomi, I can totally relate, Also my posting on linked in is not regularly. I also read that you will be constant when your new program is ready. May you could, in the meantime, use one of Nisandeh’s ideas, by just commenting and or sharing on other peoples post that is relevant for your business.

Ten Idea’s in general. What really works for me is to try to come up with 10 idea’s every time. The reason is that I train my thinking mussle, so to speak. I have to admit, it is not easy. Especially, after seeing all those great Idea’s of other people it is hard to think of something new. However, if I really can’t think of anything new, I try to at least menti… Read More

Hi Rik, Since I am self imployed, I do not have a lot of large meetings. I like the Idea not to have them. They do not only suck the time but also energy out of you.

1. For me outsource my bookkeeping saved time 2. Starting with a todo list. 3. Using a simple (HEMA) notebook. Puting dates on every page simplefies may dayly routine 4.

Make sure your clients put and get the information needed for th… Read More

Hi Paul, I like your tip: a higher price save you money. About work in other countries: Fiver is also a good place for that. How ever. Make sure you know what you want. Sometimes it is better to look more close to home if you need good quality. The more you need to communicate well the better it is to look nearby for suppliers.

I agree that a bookkeeper is a good thing to have. She is keeping me online. How ever. Make sure you really know the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant. A bookkeeper is also less expensive. My husband is an accountant. In the beginning he did everything. But bookkeeping is really different than accountant. All the invoices lower than €500,- was not… Read More

Otherwise you find out you are not insured. 4. About in… Read More

I realized that I had to change the content. How ever some pics are there for ages. Great tip!

My ideas to improve your website. 1. Make you live easy. 2. Do what you are good at. If website making is not you thing, let other people do it. That way you can implement everything you learn from Nisandeh or other great business trainers in a heartbeat. If you are anything like me, make sure you have a company that puts anything in place you want on your website… Read More

Hi Aramik, I really like the communication and content plan. And what is really important that you know what you want to do next. Maybe you could share with us examples about those two?

Blogposts: 1. Blog about a newsfact relevant to your clients an your product 2. Blog about a topic I learned from during a training 3. Blog about mistakes my clients make 4. About a tool you send, that they can try. In my case, they can try an online product of mine 5. Interview a former customer: Why they came and especially about the advise they can give to new clie… Read More

I have the same problem. Most tips are already given. However, today I decided to post some given tips anyway. Sometimes the same tip in other words, can trigger you the right way. The tip about the “no’s” is great!

I like the “look at blogs of your competitors” Why invent the wheel all the time

My insight is: The last few years I did create a platform based on frustrations. And even a conflict with a client My insight is to actually look for problems.

Systemizing: What I am systemizing is teaching process. I am in the process of making my own platform professional. It will help children, from all over the world helping with mathematics (being able to count and multiply till a 100). To make that happen I had to work out every single process in a way that the ICT people could make it into a system the way I invented that… Read More

I remember the 20/80 rule. But now I know what I recognize it. I can recognize it in: Relationship, contribution, business. My husband and I lost bigtime on contribution in money, time and very bad energy. But also on other finances. By turning that around, we gained big time on all of that. I was in the past 80% of the business time busy with someone I asked to work… Read More
