Dear Nisandeh, Imagine you get to raise another child. Obviously, you want this child to develop a healthy mindset towards (a) money and (b) business / sharing their gift(s) with the world. You have all the time from his/her birth to when he/she is about16. How would you approach it? What ways, methods, games, stories and anything else would you use? Warm Rega… Read More

Henny, I was inspired by your sharing in this program and sticking to the end…I love what you’re sharing with the world….scrum for the win!

Lucie, I love that you turned your passion into your work. Also…kudos on the commitment to the program and booking great results with it. I was very impressed and touched by your video about saddling… WOW

Hi Manny, I’m very impressed with your perseverance, commitment to the program. Also your open-mindedness, being able to confront your blockages and the results you’ve booked…..a success-formula if you ask me…

A heartfelt thank you, Manny, Guy, Bas and Alma….

Marie-Louise, what a great list…..I’m thankful for your sharing and the insights I got from reading your comments.

Good point, Marcel. I’ve seen for myself that it’s not hard to overcome blocking patterns, when I see myself as the grown-up I am. Not just on the mental level, but with my whole system. 99.99% of those patterns come from childhood/birth and once you see that and realize they’re not relevant as an adult, dropping them is not very hard, if you know how to. But indee… Read More

What did you get out of this week’s assignment? * Different perspective on these survival strategies – seeing their costs clearly What did you learn from doing this week’s process? * That also sabotaging patterns are just survival strategies rooted in childhood, based on childhood fears and if we see ourselves truly as the adults we are, it’s not that hard to over… Read More

** What did you get out of this week’s assignment? ** – More light on how I want to approach the new business ** What did you learn from doing this week’s process? ** – That I don’t want to fall in the trap of sharing yet another method without a clear target audience – That there’s a good way to avoid that – by picking a HUGE advantage of the method, a SMALL … Read More

Brilliant…

And much respect for the courage and bravery to leave something behind to create the space and time for something new to emerge. I know from experience it’s not an easy decision, but always pays off in multitudes. I wish you lots of inspiration, love, wisdom and happiness with your new direction.

+1 for what Marielle said about being grateful. Makes me even more grateful to have been able to learn so much from you in the past months. Thanks for sharing so much with us and helping us on our paths.

Awesome, this helps a lot. Lots of thoughts about it….I’ll let it soak and see what comes out. Thank you! What did you mean with “You did a ‘touch and go’ on this one, Rens…” … I looked “touch and go” but it didn’t help in understanding.

Hi Nisandeh, These last weeks of the program I’m focussing on a business that is not born yet. My whole life has changed due to some lesser known techniques I’ve used in the past years and I’d love to share this. See below the input from the positioning/vision assignment for this business. I do not have a clear target audience yet. The trap would be to present th… Read More

** DAY 3 – Easy to eliminate result ** What to eliminate: Giving free advice to my client about upgrading their processes, while seeing that they’re clearly too comfortable doing what they already did for a long time – waste of time and effort Stopped doing that this week – whenever I have the urge, I’m going to slap myself on the fingers and remind me that this c… Read More

Thanks, Nisandeh, very helpful. 1- Clear, thanks for the full explanation, makes a lot of sense now 2- Same 3- The WHAT in a video and HOW in the next level…excellent, that would work for this. Targetting more experienced people might also be an option. I’ve thought about targetting meditators earlier….as this was also how my journey went. But that might also hav… Read More

** WHAT DID I GET OUT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT? ** – Inspiration and enthousiasm for the new business – A peek at my previous mindfulness ‘company’ …. good to reflect on what went well and what didn’t – I never really did that, after I closed it in a hurry – A bit more clarity about how to connect the stage 2 process to ‘conscious virgins’ ** WHAT DID I LEARN FROM T… Read More

Not to forget….having a clear flyer at the location, with a picture of me, clear list of the benefits of the workshop and a very good illustration that made the concept clear without words.

** DAY 4 – EVERYTHING THAT PRODUCES MOST RESULTS IN YOUR BUSINESS ** Again, taking my previous mindfulness-company as the subject. – The actual workshops themselves – presenting and sharing the techniques – Being listed in the brochure/agenda of the location where I organized my workshops – This generated 90% of the clients and costed almost nothing, great! … Read More

Thanks again for an excellent workshop. ** BIGGEST INSIGHTS ** – Making a FAQ video is easy – no expensive studio equipment needed, no editing, no graphical things to add, great! – I realize how much time and frustration you saved me/us by going through all the trial and error in your previous company, seeing what works and what doesn’t and distilling it in the way… Read More

It’s in Dutch, answering the question: “How to deal with acute anger?” About this assignment….I: – did NOT like it when I read it – started liking it once I started thinking about what question to answer – now LOVE it seeing the video ready (and no, it’s not perfect at all, but just having done it gives me a boost) Also made me a lot clearer on how to connect t… Read More

Here’s the video:

** DAY 3 – Everything that does not produce results ** New business: Not applicable yet I’ve trained people in mindfulness/meditation before for 4 years. This has more of a connection to my new business than what I currently do, so I’m taking that as the subject for this day: – Having too broad of a target audience (which also attracted people that didn’t really… Read More

** DAY 2 – Values ** Friendliness (=also acceptance) Doing everything from a state of relaxation Happiness, Joy Personal growth

Okay, clear. Thank you Vered,

** DAY 1 – ONE SENTENCE VISION ** New business: This is what I wrote down in the positioning week: “I believe the most important thing that creates our personal misery is a lack of understanding of our subconsciousness. I believe that if we learn about this and how to work with it, we can overcome our misery and live a life full of happiness and wonder. I believe … Read More

Jellie, that’s a very nice goal….being able to take a month off while the train keeps running

Nelly, I love your suggestion on having the assignments available before the weekend. I have ample time to finish (most of) the assignments in the weekend. For me, this would work perfectly and solve the biggest issue I encounter at the moment.

**What did you get out of this week’s assignment?** Good reflection, clear goals for the rest of the year and more clarity on which direction I want to go. **What did you learn from doing this week’s process?** Better grasp on strengths / weaknesses – and I’ve decided to work with my new/future business for the remainder of the program **How are you going to ce… Read More

** DAY 3 – BUSINESS STRENGTHS ** Current Business: * Very high skill level vs other businesses * Always trying to over-deliver when possible and helping my clients * Good to great income New Business: * Massive value – people can change their lives in ways they didn’t even think or dream of before * Great opportunities to package the value in all kinds of diffe… Read More

Additionally: – Would love some more live connection with the participants (only reading text makes it less alive for me, impacting the interaction on the website) – The daily 15 minutes were growing the more we got into the program. Due to 1) the nature of the work to be done (most of the actual assignments took more time vs the Idea Generator days, which fit in 15 mi… Read More

** DAY 2 – WHAT IS/WAS GOOD & GREAT ** In my actions: * Participating daily (in the first blocks) * Being present for all the zoom calls (except for one) * Participation in the weekly buddy calls * Getting the max out of the program (until I discovered the junction I described earlier & got overwhelmed) In the program: * Focussing on implem… Read More

** DAY 1 – WHAT COULD BE BETTER / IMPROVED ** In my actions: * Habits: daily habit is gone, need to find a way to focus on this more without getting overwhelmed. * Implementation: I realized that I’m stuck between businesses since the first week of the expert block, so every week I’m thinking about….okay will I do this for my current business or new business? Does… Read More

THANK YOU for the Morning Fame video! Wonderful

Oh 2 ….. just booked the workshop in January….looking forward to it!

Oh….and being able to use the questions not only in a book, but also for videos, blog posts, so many other things, is fantastic!

Good idea, Marcel. Can you send me an e-mail: rensdenobel@gmail.com

Thanks for the amazing workshop last-night! So many ideas on what to do it ran though my head afterwards and this morning 🙂 Biggest insights: – Writing an Expert Book could be very valuable for me and I get very enthousiastic to do it – With this solid and relatively easy process, excuses like ‘I don’t know how to do it’ or ‘I’m not sure what to put in’ fall away … Read More

Allright. That would probably be something like: stop stress reduce stress think positive It’s a nice and important excercise to think of what people would search for. It points me to the starting point where people could hook on to what I offer. I’m so deep into this material already, that this is easy to overlook.

Nice topics, Jellie. I’m used to this information only coming after I’ve booked or a few days before my trip. Having it available earlier, might help me choose to book with you instead of another provider. It takes away some uncertainty I might have.

DAY 4 – VIDEO Did 3 takes today – this is entirely new to me, I like the practicing and seeing that I get better in every take. It’s not ready to post in any way at this moment. It inspires me to keep practicing this regularly and I will plan this. BONUS – ANSWER IN SOCIAL MEDIA FORMAT – FOR FUTURE BUSINESS Science shows that 95% of what we do, say and think on any giv… Read More

DAY 3 – THE ANSWER IN SOCIAL MEDIA FORMAT What would you think if I sent you a message by fax? You’d probably think I was crazy. It’s an ancient technology. I should move with the times and use e-mail or Whatsapp, right? So then why are you still using (S)CSS to style your website? It’s time-consuming, hard to organize and doesn’t have a design system. Why not… Read More

REASONS 1. Get recognized as an expert 2. Educate target audience 3. Build trust 4. Get people to know me 5. Authority 6. Free publicity 7. Magnet for ideal clients 8. Great business card 9. Nice give away 10. Leave a LEGACY 11. Get thing I have in my head organized 12. Separates me f… Read More

Inspiring, Matthias. The higher energy prices also made me rethink my power and heating strategy and I’d love to read more about your view on it.

Very happy to be able to reflect and digest, this week. To recognize the results so far and to get clear on the goals for the end of this year. Celebration is in the 5 days of mini-holiday I’m having at the moment and doing whatever feels good in the moment. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Inspiring to read, Marcel, and I recognize being a diesel sometimes 🙂 I just remembered I still wanted to thank you for sharing your video about dominant people earlier on. I was dealing with a very dominant new team-member at the time and your video was very helpful to learn from. Thanks

** EOY PUBLIC COMMITMENT ** My commitment from the start of this year was and is: Get rid of my debts 100% (achieved) and reach my target for my savings/investments I’ve had a slight setback as I miscalculated the amount of taxes I needed to reserve for 2021 & 2022, but can still reach the goals I had by working half a day extra in the last months of this year… Read More

** SUPPORT ** Just participating in the program is already super valuable and helpful. I’m happy to see so much results in just 3,5 months of the program. What would make the program even more supportive for me is to allow for more implementation / processing time. I notice things go too fast for me now, especially in this last block. I’m still processing ideas … Read More

I like the idea of tapping into the potential of the other participants. For me, I see that happening enough already, much more than any other training I’ve attended so far. I value the Q&A days, the responding and readings responses of each other, the Hot Seats. I could fill two years of implementation with what I get from that already. What could add value for… Read More

**END OF YEAR GOALS* * Finish the foundation for the coming years: – Reach my financial target for this year – Get back the fitness I had at the beginning of the year: work less, sleep better, continue healthy habits – Keep investing in a great relationship with my subconscious * Be open for what life brings (including whatever pops up in this program) and valuabl… Read More

WHAT DID YOU GET OUT & LEARN FROM THIS WEEK’S ASSIGNMENT? It was another amazing reminder that all the knowledge is already in my system and that this tools is a great and relatively easy way to ‘download’ it and see how to share it. Seeing the results got me clearer on my direction. WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST INSIGHTS DURING THE HOT SEAT SESSION? I could write 3… Read More

DAY 4 – CLEAR GOALS 1. Schedule jan – april 2023 free for this (done) 2. Start generating ideas for articles to write (december) 3. Schedule the daily WOMB -time differently.

Hi Paul, I’ve been trading for 6 years now. My first ‘trade’ was buying Bitcoins for 5000 euros, thinking it would make me a millionaire while sleeping. I had no risk-management whatsoever and three weeks later I got a reality call when I lost 3000 euros. I’ve never stopped learning since then. Tried different methods of trading. Followed the worst and th… Read More

I promise I didn’t read your manual 😉 I’m happy you’re sharing this way of working with our group now. Thanks

Thanks for your insight about the I-oriented society vs we-oriented society. After reading it I realised I would never have thought, in any way, that doing business would have something to do with that. It’s very valuable to see that it does.

I love the idea of evaluating together, Marie-Louise, thanks. I’ve noted it down and will start it with my bookkeeper. Hope you had a good sushi meal 🙂

WOW , congratulations Gerdy, 4 clients is BIG!

How you start the morning sounds great, Leo! And nice that it also results in changes in the outside world.

Hi Nisandeh, Apologies for my late reply. I wanted to give you a proper answer with attention instead of some half-baked rushed one. So hereby: I’ve attended over a dozen of workshops and retreats in the past ten years. And I’m very grateful for having the chance. I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today without them. Most of them were great in the sense that… Read More
