Congratulations!
You have completed the second block of the Working ON My Business program – YOUR IDEAL CLIENTS…
I hope you already noticed how your thinking and working have improved. Now it’s time to use the mindset and strategies you learned in the last few weeks to start working on the next block of the program…
Your Expert Position – Part 1
To get you started with the process, please watch this Business University lesson: WHY Becoming an Expert:
Let’s start with your MINDSET…
WHY Becoming and Expert?
In the video above I gave you MY top reasons why you should become an expert, and more than that – I shared with you how it’s connected with the last block of the program – working with Ideal Clients…
It doesn’t matter what products or services you offer, your prospects have lots of different options to choose from.
Being able to differentiate yourself from your competitors, and position yourself as an expert in your marketplace is crucial to your success.
When you have authority, people will pay attention. When you are perceived as an expert in your industry, people will naturally want to work with you. They will seek you out. They will pay you more. And they will refer to you more.
Take some time to think, IF becoming a known expert (or THE expert) in your marketplace is a good strategy for you and for your business, and if yes – become very clear on the WHY… the WHAT, and… the HOW…
And if you decide to go for it, then…
Set your GOAL for this week…
Here’s a great goal for you:
I am going to become a known expert in my marketplace.
OR…
I am going to become THE expert in my marketplace.
How’s that for a 5-day challenge?
Choose the STRATEGY you will use…
If you have never clearly AND explicitly defined and communicated your Expert Position Strategy, here is the 5-step process you should follow:
- Find your compelling WHY
Why is it important for YOU to become a known authority/expert in your field/marketplace?
Some ideas are in the video, but make your own list; - Define WHAT do you want to become an expert in
Remember the points I shared during the last Hot Seat session (serving people for decades vs/ fads, don’t build an expertise that will shoot you in the leg, serve the SAME clients for 10 years or more, the difference between celebrity business and a scalable expert business…); - Commit to become a/the known expert in your field
Becoming known as an expert is not the same as being an expert… You might be already an expert in your field – but to be KNOWN as one – takes time, effort, and other resources.
Make sure you’re willing to commit to this process. - Clarify/define/set your goals
What would be your goal(s) that will represent for you becoming a/the known expert in your field (being invited to give lectures in professional conferences, publishing a bestselling book, winning a prize…) - Design a plan to grow your expert position
What will YOU do to achieve the goal(s) you’ve set for yourself in the previous step.
And again, we’re going to use… the Idea Generator
Remember – your brain is an answering machine… so each day of the week, we’ll give it another question (see the Implementation part below).
PLAN your actions in your agenda…
Your next step is to physically plan this process in your agenda.
Plan to invest 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY in the coming 5 days to follow the process above.
AND… You will need to reserve 2-3 hours to actually setup your plan to grow your expert position.
Now it’s time to IMPLEMENT…
Take 10 minutes, right now, and…
- Day 1 – come up with at least 10 answers for why do you want to become a/the known expert in your field and make a decision IF becoming that expert is what you want to go for;
- Day 2 – come up with at least 10 specific ideas for WHAT you want to be known for as an expert and choose the one or two that are most important for you;
- Day 3 – come up with a specific commitment for becoming a/the known expert/authority as you defined it yesterday.
E.g. time investment, knowledge acquisition, skills practice, budget reserved or any other parameters you need to take into account to make it happen…; - Day 4 – come up with at least 10 ideas for specific, clear, achievable goals and choose your main goal and possibly 1-2 sub goals;
- Day 5 – come up with as many ideas as you can how to actually achieve the goal(s) you’ve written yesterday and choose your preferred actions;
In your 2-3-hour Implementation Session – put it all together – design a clear, doable plan with WHO does WHAT, WHEN in order to achieve the goal(s) you wrote on Day 4.
Each day share with us in the comment box your ideas, actions and commitment.
My commitment to you…
- I’m looking forward to read your process 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 the goal(s) and plan you’ll come up with).
Live fully, stay awesome,
Nisandeh

Day 5 – THIS IS HOW I INTEND TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS FROM YESTERDAY
Due to a number of events over the last 3 weeks I have been inactive in contributing actively but not mentally. Thanks to very valuable sessions with my buddies many choices have been made. Where possible implementation has started. Where implementation is pending third party decision, actions have been set out.
TWO important things that stands out is: SIMPLICITY AND FOCUS! and that goes for all areas in my life. Without simplicity focus gets challenged if not impossible.
This means that in order to realize my new business and childhood contribution wish, I need to give this the priority it deserves. That means making choices to let other things go.
HAPPY HOMES
1) Write a book on HappyHomes by June 2023.
- Write the book I would love to read myself using the plan of approach as a guideline for the content.
- With my new insights having paused the process for 3 weeks, I will aim at a completion date in April 2023.
2) Book is to be publised around Christmas 2023
- I will reach out to my network informing on how to get my book published.
- I will deliberately not ask Nisandeh as I believe this to be a NON Question. Meaning, finding the right publisher is something I can either look up in Google or ask my network.
3) Create awareness around HappyHome on Social Media bij December 2022 Airbnb
- I've contacted a social media expert who will support me through this process.
- The week-end of 31st september we have our first sessions and make a plan of approach.
- Create a business link on LinkedIn and Instagram to share my content
- Start preparing the content based on all material gathered, news and postcasts shared.
- Create a publishing calender
- Automate all processes possible
- make appointment for content creation weekends where content is created for 3 months ahead.
4) Develop a masterclass on WHY Airbnb by January 2023 (HappyHomes)
- The first session with my social media expert took place in August.
- The list of content to be created has been made
- 3 tiers have been identified
- as has the irresistable offer
- The week of October 15 -22 will be the week of recording
5) Develop a training on how to Airbnb by April 2023
- See my comments in point 4.
6) Create a remarkable product for Airbnb by June 2023
- The remarkable offer will be created based on the input from my target audience
OPTIMIZEPEOPLE
7) Find software developer who can develop my Skillcards by February 2023 (remarkable product)
- Discuss the assignment with specific people in my network.
- Discuss how to best protect the software created (what to think about if I wish to protect my code)
- Discuss whether they can develop the skillcard and if not, who they can recommend.
- Should this approach unexpectedly be in vain, I will set out an assignment on FIVERR
- Based on the MOCKUP I will choose my partner.
- Protect intellectual property
- Protect name
8) Skillcard automated and easy to use by May 2023
- As the skillcard is part of my back office I'll investigate which platform to use for the best conversion: SHOPIFY or WORDPRESS with a PLUGIN
- Have a webdesigner create my webside using the conversion checklist of Nisandeh and the idea generator challenge
- Create an introduction film
- Create a HOW TO Guide
9) Create Masterclass WHY skill cards by June 2023
- The masterclass / webinar ( I've heard that webinar has a higher conversion rate. Need to clearly understand why that is) will explain the urgency (based on newspaper articles and radio broadcasts) , problems (based on case stories), pain (based on casestories and experience of previous customers and own experience in my various roles) and the WHAT of the solution.
- Create content (use the NEN-ISO 30401 Knowledge Management systems - requirements standards as field of reference)
- Record masterclass
- Publish on LinkedIn (maybe Linkedin Learning) and YouTube; Knowledge management platforms; Service Management platforms etc.
10) Create training on HOW TO skill card by september 2023
- Turn the content from the masterclass into to HOW TO knowledge clips
- Reuse the content from the masterclass (LEGO blocks) as field of reference creating HOW TO use the skill card
- Create a film of max 2 minutes on how to fill the skill card
- create a film of max 2 minutes on how to use the skill card to mitigate risks for braindrain
- create a film of max 2 minutes on how to use the skill card for targeted knowlegdge sharing
- create a film of max 2 minutes on how to prioritize knowledge transfer based on the skill card
- create many more products around the skill card.
-- As a teaser for a bigger product, zoom uit to the bigger picture of how to use knowledge management to mitigate the risk of knowledge drain within the company based on my knowledge management framework
11) Create Masterclass WHY transferring Implicit and transfer knowledge by November 2023
- See point 9 replacing skillcard with tranfer of implicit knowledge
12) Create a training on HOW TO transfer Impliciet knowledge by January 2024
- see point 10 by replacing skill card with impliciet knowledge
THIS IS MY PREFERRED ACTION
- Creating the HappyHomes makes my heart sing so I will start with putting my thought on paper creating the book I would love to read myself.
Followed by the online business for Airbnb which indirectly is connected to the same business as my vision on HappyHomes is the center of the training. The products created will also share the same logo and signature.

Inspired my the V.I.P. session and the HOT seat session of tonight - 15th of September, I realize that there are so many more remarkable products to be created and offered for a high price.
The normal price I would charge for a manual Knowledge audit by means of a tailormade skillcard was euro 25,000. For three reasons I wish to automate this process: 1) It is a time consuming process for both me and my customers, 2) it creates dependencies (vendor lockin) which is not the manner in which I like to operate and 3) my customers wants real time data (time to market is short).
Eventhough this will no longer be my core business, this might be an intersting business magnet at a high price to be used for the business development of HappyHomes (my contribution goal)

Main goals:
1. Book. Book, book, book. To be honest I would prefer to not have more ideas at the moment because it will get me excited and I will take my eyes off the book haha.
2. Give webinars on my topic for free
3. Get publicity (thursday I have a call with a reporter for AD)
4. Start publishing one exercise every week (and have people register to a flow of 10 different ones maybe?) (@Marcel Dassen if I do that I will share this workflow with you) - after that put on the newsletter

7. Work on a specific offer together with Elske on how to use hybrid working to leave less footprint as a company

9. Find associates and JV partners to work with together
10. Every training that I give should be better than the one before. (this is quite a biggie for me since I am scared of reflecting... (I know I should...)
Main goal: the book.
Sub goals:
* find JVs to work with together
* every week go for one day on my bike and visit companies to hand out the book in person
* Get publicity

Day 3 – come up with a specific commitment for becoming a/the known expert/authority as you defined it yesterday.
E.g. time investment, knowledge acquisition, skills practice, budget reserved or any other parameters you need to take into account to make it happen…;
I am already writing a book, it’s almost done. I believe that this book will skyrocket my expert position. I am committing to spend at least one day EVERY WEEK from now on to promote my book. I prefer doing this face to face, but I have many ideas on how to do this in a different way too (the ones that came up in the first week)
Next to that: I am already reading all the books in DUTCH that are there over the topic, and I will keep on reading all the english material also. I will also keep on training myself in becoming better, I will register for the next NVC training too and keep on practicing.
Because I want to give away as many books as possible, I will need to print a lot of books and give them away. I put away at first 1000 euro to print my own books, which will be around... 200 books, I think.

Day 2 – come up with at least 10 specific ideas for WHY you want to be known as an expert and pick one or two that are most important to you;
1. To do why I'm here.
To live my potential, not that little boy's anymore.
2. From the knowledge that Nisandeh told in the meeting that you really only want a virgin as a target group. And to experience for yourself how stubborn bicycle mechanics they (experts) are they know it all so well and better but they work very hard, earn very little and only complain. They don't hear me when I have solutions. Do I have to be an expert myself?
Or how do you connect with an expert?
3. Expert or specialist is still seen as the one who has experience and has learned for it, that's why you want to be a customer with them. You would rather go to the specialist or expert for pain in the back than the doctor or let them help you by the assistant.
4. Expert position gives me the stage to share my experience. To take the podium.
5. Especially by the virgin target group customers you are really seen and they are amazed and they want to know everything about you and they remain loyal to you.
7. As an expert I can position myself and distinguish myself from my competitors.
8. The role provides certain focus. Gives certain power
9. As an expert, you are valued when you give your opinion or are asked for your opinion. Also here by the virgins and not by the expert himself.
10. The term expert (Latin: experts; 'experienced, tried, proven, sound') or expert refers to a person who is expert in a particular field. An expert is expected to have a lot of knowledge and experience in a certain field. and I have. And somehow I sometimes make myself small because I don't know everything (eg everything about electronics of the eBike) and yet I get them all made. I've got something to do here.
Thank you. NR. 1 means something to me. Commit to why I'm here.
I have things to experience and embody and pass them on.
I've got enough on my pad, which is all learning material. Earning comes naturally when I start doing what I'm here for.
When I'm grateful.
If I follow my heart
and lles kennsi that I have gained now really going to do instead of fun experiences and looking for even more warnings and challenges.

WOMB WEEK 10, AUGUST 26 2022, DAY 5/5
GROW YOUR EXPERT POSITION
HOW TO ACHIEVE MY COMMITMENT GOALS:
Main Goal
1. Break down my specific commitment into clear and strategic tasks and start working on a detailed schedule: Executable Plan de campagne. How? By:
* Use the Idea Generator for each commitment and choose the ideas that will bring me closer to my goal
* Take time to contemplate if the choices are really strategic (on a regular basis)
* Collect the chosen tasks and organize them by category (knowledge acquisition, skill practice, implementation, etc.)
* Prioritize the tasks and plan them in the agenda (within my 15 work week hour commitment)
* Build a routine that enables me to implement the tasks with 100% focus
* Set ONE goal per week (maximum three), and ONE purpose for each hour of work
* Establish a fixed moment (weekly) to set goals and evaluate results
* Report my progress to my accountability bodies on a weekly basis
* Come up with some progress levels (gamification) by establishing exciting/meaningful milestones and establish upfront how I am going to celebrate/ reward myself
Sub Goals
2. Write down in detail my Expert Vision/ Leader Philosophy and find a great name for it. How? By:
* Organic brainstorming: write down all the ideas, observations, theories, and experiences about parenting. Everything that comes in mind
* Organize the ideas and select the best ones
* Come up with good questions to ask myself and others, for example: why do I want to be a parent? What is the meaning of parenthood?
* Dare to extend my thinking to the horizons of the nearly "impossible". Like the Wright brothers once did about flying.
* Continue exploring my own parenting vision through journaling. Establish a system how to find back Eureka insights
* Make sure to always have a way to record ideas (even in the shower)
* Read relevant literature on parenting styles and philosophies
* Create a silent, Thinking retreat at home (as part of my weekly routine)
* Continue finding out what my ideal clients want, and contrast it with what they need/ have to do in order to get what they want (break down the process)
* Design my ideal client Journey starting with the hardest pain (sleep deprivation) and work it out into THE ONE VISION (reverse engeneering)
* Inventarize all areas in life that impact the hardest pain (and therefore parenthood) and analyze how they relate to/influence each other
* Research the existing concepts out there and play around with different word combinations until finally finding the right name for my vision
* Blog about it and encourage constant engagement/feedback from ideal clients
3. Create my Compelling Why Vision Board poster. One with the power of getting me out of bed at 05:30 am every day How? By:
* Use the four entrepreneurial quadrants (independance, fulfillment, money, and contribution) and write down what is important to ME. What do I want?
* Think about "The Seasons of My Life". At which season am I right now? What is important to me? What is no longer important and why? What could become important in the future? Consider this introspective in the Vision Board
* Then search for compelling images, quotes, and questions that move me to the core. For example what happens when you don't stand up now?
* Include the concept of Cycles and Seasons in a beautiful visual way
* Delegate and barter the creation of the board to a photoshop master (based on my instructions)
* List it and place it next to my bed. I want it to be the first thing I see when the alarm sounds at 05:30

4. The expert who always gives and helps.

7. The expert who moves government organizations and the people who work in them.
8. The expert who connects talent development, leadership development and organizational development in a logical and beautiful way.

Thank you, Nisandeh! I am working hard for it. By the way this is no complaint, but in my field of colleagues and clients only in this community there is understanding about the work you have to put in to be successful.
I am grateful to you Nisandeh en Vered that I can and may learn so many things from you. Although it is hard and I am really working my ass of, it helps me to experience your tough love mentoring. I implemented all this lessons and insights many years now since 2012 as much as I could and found ways to adapt it in government environment and it brought me really a lot. To much to mention here.
And of course I learn every also from the other students in this WOMB programs! Especially my buddies Bas and Marcel. 😉

Day 5 26-08-22
– come up with as many ideas as possible to actually achieve the goals you wrote yesterday and choose your favorite actions;
Goal 1 inventory where I am now and I will immediately implement this here:
1. Research is ongoing and should be completed by the end of next week.
2. There is only one competitor who offers from specialist to manager. What he offers I will process in what I will offer for free and surpass it.
3. Create a questionnaire for specialists who have just become managers and post it on my website. This allows them to indicate what their ideal training should look like to become a better manager. I'm going to start thinking about the questions today (already done!).
4. Offer the first trial training for free as a reward.
5. Place call on LinkedIn and post on my profile. My existing customers ask to share this.
6. Develop the pilot training and this should be ready by the end of September.
7. Offer the trial training at the beginning of October and choose a location where I will give this training.
8. Turn the trial training into a full training and offer it as a free front end. Deadline for this is the end of November.
9. This front end appears with ActiveCampaign as a floating window on my homepage.
10. Clarify the follow-up product based on the experiences of the first training. I make an inventory of this with the evaluation forms where they can indicate which follow-up suits them best. The options for a follow-up are either an intense group training/course or a number of personal coaching sessions, for example five or a coaching trajectory that I already offer.
This is goal 1 and gives me a clear direction for the first month. I am curious how this process will develop.
In the meantime, I can get to know the people who fill out the questionnaire better by inviting them to a podcast or a blog. My conclusion is that I will have my hands full with this in the near future. Moreover, I also find this quite exciting.
My insights from this week:
1. With these virgins I can enter into a lasting relationship from starting manager to an excellent leader.

Day 4
1. Writing a book
2. Creating a funnel to empower my expert position
3. Creating a VIP product to show I’m the expert
4. Creating the best martial arts classes to show I’m an expert
5. Changing the website(s) to promote myself as an expert
6. Creating and communicating a clear vision that can last for ages
7. Set standards (raising a bar) for clients I work with
8. Create high-quality video reviews
9. Clear payment policy: Pay, barter of free. Never just give away money like it isn’t worth it.
10. Creating a video course
11. Giving regular martial arts classes for free. (only pay for classes within my expertise)
12. Partner with other experts in my field or complimenting fields
13. Get a bigger following on Social Media
I know the book will be the biggest step but it’s out of my comfort zone. Probably can make a chapter about it within the book I want to write.
Having the best VIP product out there will be my main focus. Already know it won’t be my last VIP product. Feel I really want to do something with intensive training in short and long-term settings. But only a very small niece will want that. Those are my ideal clients and just have to work to get through to them through different levels of clients.
Also looking into providing free classes next season or so. Eliminating the competition in that aspect.

4. Clarify/define/set your goals
What would be your goal(s) that will represent for you becoming a/the known expert in your field (being invited to give lectures in professional conferences, publishing a bestselling book, winning a prize…)
I want to start a podcast. My book “de klik methode” has been sold out and needs to be reprinted. This is a very nice moment to promote it again.
Expert blogs I’d like to write and I am in the process of getting my video testimonials professionally filmed.
108 comments
Day 2 Define WHAT do you want to become an expert in
Remember the points I shared during the last Hot Seat session (serving people for decades vs/ fads, don’t build an expertise that will shoot you in the leg, serve the SAME clients for 10 years or more, the difference between celebrity business and a scalable expert business…);
Sales and then the cold prospecting is what I want to be known for, together with my method: De Klik Methode. A selling method with the focus on psychology and relationships. How you make a “klik”. Using this method is very effective and rewarding if you do cold Prospecting. Or deepen existing relationships. It teaches you to make a real connection and to influence your customer in the right way

3. Commit to become a/the known expert in your field
Becoming known as an expert is not the same as being an expert… You might be already an expert in your field – but to be KNOWN as one – takes time, effort, and other resources.
I am going to commit tot his proces. First of all I am going to work on my mindset. And investigate how other people have got tot his position. Why invent the wheel?

1. Find your compelling WHY
Why is it important for YOU to become a known authority/expert in your field/marketplace?
I want more of ideal clients and be able to spend as much time as I need to make them a succes. I want to be able to charge them a good price so I can spend this time.
My customers will come “by themselves” because I am an expert. They will pay more because they expect the best.
I like working with my ideal clients, 😊

1. Schedule jan - april 2023 free for this (done)

My compelling WHY was there from the start: I like to show everybody the beauty of this country, it is so amazing.
To be an expert we started and go on with these ideas:
• Tourist offices of several area's start blogging on our website. We have yet an agreement for 3. Next month we have schedule some more.
• An expert of the country(writes so many blogs) is going to blog on our website. We do the translation, and she writes. The first blog is almost ready to publish.
• We make series of mailings(automation) of tourist information for each client. Non of our competitor gives this information, as far as I know. We have collected the items and start (delegate) with rewriting.
• Publish twice a week, instead of once.
• New partners. That helps to makes us an expert for house owners. We have two types of clients. 1 the guest en 2 is the houseowner. Last week I have contact 2 of them. And both like to cooperate. Next week number 3.
• Make a magazine. I can hardly wait to start. Not this week. We must schedule that. At the end of the year, we can start.
Also, non of our competitors have it, till now. That will be a paid product and free for our guests.
• Our next website in English will be a kind of a platform. There is a lot of prepare. I have started a few months ago and that idea generator is filled up with new ideas, every week. I have start with a book, in September a training.
There will come more ideas, but for now it is more than enough. I have always a lot of idea’s, never a lack😊
I have made from each idea generator a document and add each week. This works very good for me.

Learn and practice my martial arts skills. Becoming better and better with time.
Need to make more money so I can pay for training with different kinds of instructors. My yet-to-make VIP product should help big time with that!
All in all, I need to do a lot of work!

Day 3 – come up with a specific commitment for becoming a/the known expert/authority as you defined it yesterday.
E.g. time investment, knowledge acquisition, skills practice, budget reserved or any other parameters you need to take into account to make it happen…;
To become an expert in the field of stressrelease I will focus on burn out. I will implement yearprograms that will solve the problem of empty - battery grown - ups, eg parents: having a full battery again and inspired to work and live from the heart.
Those people have not a clue how to solve their problem. I can, as an experienced expert in one year. I can work from home or in companies with burned out workers.
- time investment: create a superb yearprogram, in one month.
- I will invest in a short course for burn out coach, to enrich my program and to let clients know I am an up to date expert.
- I do have a lot of skills practiced as coach, trainer and massagetherapist.
I have worked with many burned out people. I can create one product now and make it powerful.
I can work together with other trainers and coaches in companies and or huisartsen and psychologists. 😀
Have to create website, linked in page etc. Around burn out. Clear communication on one product.
Next to that my commitment will be creating a parent-academy.as said before there is an overlap. A lot of parents are overworked parents......
Budget needed: 5.000 euro in the first year. Price of yearprogram: around 3000 euro. But I have to do more research omn product and price.

Day 3 24-08-22
– come up with a specific commitment to become a/the known expert/authority as you defined it yesterday.
eg time investment, knowledge acquisition, skill practice, budget reserved or other parameters you need to consider to make it happen…;
As a result of the last Zoom session, I have discovered the virgins for which I want to become the specialist. I also made a step-by-step plan for that. The research with my ideal clients is still ongoing. Once I've filtered out the problem that everyone is struggling with, I want to offer the solution for free. The solution that I will offer will have to be a solution in which my expertise is more specific.
I am already an expert in developing authentic behavior because the results and references show it, but I am still too little known as an expert. I have enriched this expertise with effective behavior and used it for authentic and effective leadership for board and management. Now what is my commitment to become the expert helping specialists become effective leaders?
The commitment I can already make is: to make a free front end for them on my website and I need a month for that. Of course a front end with a WOW effect.

WHAT I want to be known for as an expert
1. Horse-Human Interaction and Communication. SEE all subtle details the horse is expressing, including becoming aware of the Electromagnetic Energy field.
2. Horse-human Relationship and Connection. Connect from the HEART and not based on pressure, Experience Heart Coherence with horses. How to become the human your horse wants to be with.
3. Horse Biomechanics and Healthy Movement. Train your eye to see if your horse is balanced. Understand the natural asymmetries of the horse and knowing how a good posture looks like. Difference between physical structure and posture.
4. Horse Training on the ground. Connect horse to breathing. Help the horse get fit, healthy and better balanced with advanced lateral movements made easy.
5. Horse Anxiety/Trauma and Healing. The window of tolerance. Parasympathetic nervous system and polyvagal theory. Giving the horse a choice to work with you. Make them feel safe.
6. Horse Bodywork. The power of soft touch. How to release tension in the horses’ body.
7. Horse Riding. How to educate horses to carry a riders correctly. What exercises you can do. How to build strength and flexibility from the saddle. How to ride without a saddle based on breathing, energy and seat.
8. Body Awareness for Riders. Breathing, Spinal alignment, Energy. Educating the rider how to be a good rider and not hinder the horse in it’s movement but improve it. Reconnect to the wisdom of their own body so they are more present and work intuitively with their horse instead of from their head. Become a confident rider (many riders are afraid).
9. The positive effect of horses on humans. I came out of a burnout/depression mainly thanks to my horses many years ago. That’s when I decided to quit my office job and work full time with horses. It doesn’t feel like working anymore because I love what I do.
10. How you can change your career when you are 40+. I hear that I have inspired people to quit their job and pursue their passion when they hear my story (see 9.)
11. Team training with horses. A couple of years ago, I had some companies asking for team training with horses (Rabobank, Nike International amongst others). As I worked in international corporate teams I can translate what is happening with the horses to what is happening in the teams.
It’s hard to choose as they are all so related. Right now I think I’m known for my natural connection with horses and the fun & easy that I radiate when I work with them. My first online course is called ‘True Connection - How to connect to yourself and your horse through conscious breathing and meaningful body posture’. I However, don’t want people to think that I ‘only’ spend undemanding connecting time with my horses. I also want to be known as a knowledgeable and capable horse trainer and overall expert in horse-human relationship, training, riding, trauma etc.

Why become an expert?
1: I do not become an expert, I AM one
2: When I can clearly decide to become an expert I make a stand in myself.
3: I make a stand in myself and thus in the world
4: I always wanted to be a generalist. I often think that experts are closed off people that Know and are being right I am starting to change that mindset
5: into why not being an expert in opneness, curiousity and being part of the whole?
6: This in fact could be one of my expertises.
7: What do you do for your work is a question I often get. Just recently I start to get the right words for it. Even though I have been considered to be an expert. I did not act like one. Making myself smaller or dressed myself up with something that was not realy me as an expert.
8: It would save tons of energy
9: It would save tons of time
10: To be an expert needs a solid ground in me. I developed that stand and clearness and alignement in the last 10 years. I feel like open my wings and fly when I allow myself to be an expert.
11: The readyness and courage to bring forward what I think that is important. Cut the crab. I like that.
12: Money will hecome more easy or even the willingness to not make a lot of money with my expertise

Day 2
Simple answer: Martial Arts Expert
Difficult answer: Not sure yet how to differentiate between all the others yet. We all look the same. But I’m getting there step by step. It probably will be something of intensive courses and/or long internal stays like people normally do in China. Don’t have the time right now to dive too much into this. Done some very heavy implementation of the What Would Nisandeh Do session last 2 days. Changed the program, new website, new marketing… Already resulted in 3 new members for 495,- each (Dubbel normal fee) only 3 spots left and tell it every where I can.
Need to create time for more diving into this subject, ideal clients and a general WHY I'm doing anything in the first place.

Something like the paperclip, or the zipper, or velcro (klitteband) or a game or a toy.
2. A specific methode that is used by companies to make their employees more creative (and happier at the same time).
3. My own ideas that helped make Domino Day (2004-2010) become a succes.

Day 2 23-08-22
– come up with at least 10 specific ideas for WHY you want to be known as an expert and pick one or two that are most important to you;
1. Because my mission is to connect people where they can be authentic and effective.
2. That this is why I am on Earth to use this particular talent for the benefit of the community.
3. That what I have to offer really works.
4. That I am credible in this because it has worked for me and it can work for others.
5. Because every customer so far has said, “What a shame I didn't do this sooner!”
6. Because it really helps people to connect with themselves and with others, I grant this to as many others as possible.
7. It makes the world a bit more beautiful.
8. That it increases my visibility and awareness so that I can reach more people.
9. That it gives me the freedom to be fully empowered.
10. That I become an authority in developing authentic and effective behavior.
11. That I have mastered coaching in authentic and effective behavior so well that I have already subconsciously become proficient in it.
12. That as many leaders as possible have never gotten to know themselves as well as people and that they now know who they want to be.
13. That all specialists who are going to lead get a completely new view on what it means to manage people.
14. That it gives me so much energy to do every time.
15. That I want to be a positive example as a person for others.
16. That they learn to deal with the paradox that behavior says only 2 to 4 percent about your identity, but that others judge you 100 percent on your behavior.
I am already living through and propagating everything that I have mentioned, but the message 13 comes out most strongly: That all specialists who are going to lead get a completely new view of what managing people means.
As Nisandeh mentioned about virgins: "They don't have a clu." Just like most content specialists have no idea what they are getting into as soon as they are supposed to direct people. Their first inclination is to want to show it instead of guiding others. They cling to control because they have no idea how to influence the behavior of others. Behavior is like a black box that opens for them.

- Also I will invest 3 hours per week to establish my position as an expert (by writing + publishing the relevant content)

Is an online class something for you to set up to give more clarity about that it is not just done ios and there you show your expert position. and your added value.
You can also ask money for it and people want tips. Why invest with you, there are many.
If I know what and why you do it all.

You are totally right I should get more clear on the WHY and why energy.. and get the insights on paper.
Online class could be something interesting..

WHY?
Find your convincing WHY
Why is it important for you to become a well-known authority/expert in your field/marketplace?
Some ideas are in the video, but make your own list;
1. because that means that I have made the choice in what I want to become an expert in;
2. because that is something with which I want to make a lasting difference for the good for and with people;
3. because that is only really possible if I am an expert, in other words distinctively good in my profession;
4. because I like to be really good at one or a few things rather than everything;
5. because I like to go in-depth and really understand and understand subjects;
6. because then I create a truly pure legacy;
7. because I contribute something to the earth, humanity instead of living and consuming alone;
8. because then I attract clients who really want to practice, work, research, and really learn from what I'm providing;
9. because it leads to sustainable and constructive cooperation and friendship with people;
10. because it generates a sustainable income stream for me and perhaps for co-workers;
11. because it generates a higher income stream;
12. because it gives me the space to get better in my field;

I got my own answer. If I become the expert in helping teams to excel no matter where they work, it immediately makes sense for both.
Ok so here we go.
Week 10, day 1- 10 reasons WHY I want to be the expert
1. Since I decided that my book was going to be called “handboek online vergaderen” I don’t have to explain anymore what I do. So 1: making very clear what I do.
2. Making it easy for people to find ME iso the other way around
3. Make it easy to find JV partners
4. Everybody knows me
5. I get publicity- the media will call me if they want to know something
6. It caresses my ego (seriously. I wish it wouldn’t be but it is)
7. It will force me to continue doing the same thing 🤪
8. I once had a call with the belastingdienst. They wouldn’t hire me because I didn’t already have a contract. But once I would have a book, they would.
9. Because I specialize I get more jobs in that area and I will become better and better in my field.
10. I might be invited to come speak on someone else’s seminar/ convention etc making sure I influence more people and learn at the same time from others
I found out a thing. I’m not very good in working my ASS off. Well. Not true. I’m very good at that, but in this period in my life it doesn’t have my priority.
The good thing of being an expert is that I hopefully don’t have to work so hard anyMore and can pick the clients I really want.
THAT is my compelling why. 🙈

In making animations I do not feel I want to become an expert.
I rather want people to choose for me, IF the like my style of drawing and animating.
If they don't, then they go to someone else, that's fine.
I would like to be seen as an artisist. Some like Kandinski, some don't. Some like Rembrand some don't. It's fine.
The same goes for singers or musicians. If you are good, you will sell, but there will always be people who will not buy your nusic. No problem.
So I guess I pass on becomming the/a expert

Though I respect your decision Paul, I fear you are avoiding the issue.
Making a decision is fine, but best done when first checking all the options and putting a question mark on what you already know,
Why not first think of 10 reasons why you SHOULD become an expert and only after looking at them make the decision that is right for you.
105 comments
Thank you Vered for your answer!
At first I thought: "No, you are wrong."
But I contemplated for 5 minutes what you said and an AHA-moment happend!
I still don't feel I want to be an expert in animation.
But what I do see myself as, is as an expert in creative thinking/creativity/problemsolving/innovation/intelligence, something along those lines.
This might be a big breakthrough!
Why do I want to become an expert in creativity?
- Because I have been thinking about this many times before.
- Because I was a designer for a big TV show and I came up with several (according to others) brilliant Ideas.
- A teacher at the Design Academy said that I was brilliant but that I didn't see it myself.
- I developed the FORCE method (5 step plan to get good ideas) but never did anything with it.
- I have about 10 books about creative thinking, but never realy read them. (But I would still like to)
- I believe all people are born creative but we unlearn this in school. I want to reconnect people to thier authentic creative potetial
- I think I would never get bored in learning and/or talking about creativity
- I allready am a creative professional (and I believe that.)
- Innovation is a field that will always be around and creativity is the most important skill for innovation.
- If I could be anybody I would have liked to be Albert Einstein, I would love to study (and the learn to others) how he thought and how his thought-experiments worked.
- I believe creativity is closely linked to lifeforce. Creativity brings happiness and aliveness in people. When I stop being creative I feel dead inside.
- Creativity reconnect you to your inner child.
- I made a colouringbook for kids with pictures where something is 'wrong' to spark their creative thinking. (sold about a 100 and stopped promoting it)
- I feel energised thinking about this
- It could be a new career path and I could let go of making animations
- I could help hundreds or thousands of people, instead of 1 at the time, like with animations
😀
Thanks again.
This is going to stear my life into a whole new direction.

14. I do what I like.

Ha. This is immediately interesting. Because what I would LOVE to be, is the expert on helping teams grow to be mutually and personally responsible, working together to get things done, be productive but also honest, purposeful, and connected, no matter where they work.
What I am working on now, is becoming an expert on online meetings and working remotely. However- I don’t think it’s a bad thing- it’s what my client wants. And besides that it’s very clear.
Is this the right thing to do?

I'm the expert in mobility assessments for retailers and high truck volume related building permits.
I want other people, more specificly my inner circle to start with, to know that I am also THE expert in
A) traffic related data, in turning that data into bankable assets AND
B) THE specialist for retailers, DC's and local government in turning parking lots into a money machine while helping out the climat and the local population. I want to set the norm here, and I don't give a f* any more about what others outside my circle of trust say or do to dishonor me because it hurts their unethical business model.
(Woepha, it seems I feel strongly about that last bit 😀)
The commitment test is easy: will I have made a video invitation to a client day where I talk about these things by the end of the week - or not? If not, it is only talking and no action. Bit nervous to do that, but hey, if they don't know, it's not going to happen anyway.
The plan is simple: i host a masterclass on 4 topics. That forces me to speak, show, listen. And I get known for this new specialism. I also say what I expect from my clients in spreading the word and bringing in referrals for the second run of those masterclasses.
Where needed, I will also be forced to do my homework on technical details or partnerships/software or come up with a signature system.
I'm going to stick to one goal this week, "being seen as an expert by my inner circle via a masterclass and its followup". That seems like enough work and self surpassing action for one week. 😀

Why do I want to become an expert?
This strongly connects to why I want to be an entrepreneur 🙂
(1) There are just too many people out there who have brilliant ideas and the potential to help many people. And they are struggling to even choose what to do. As an expert I can help so many more people to create their better tomorrow. And through that create a better tomorrow for all of us.
(2) And another reason (that you mention in the video) is that I will be able to attract clients who are willing to work. It is so much more fun to work with the clients that are going for it. I want that all the time.
(3) As an expert I can focus on the value I deliver, instead of the organisation part around it.
(4) As an expert it will be immediately clear what I do and who I help. (Also this will make it really easy for my parents to explain what I do)
(5) As an expert I will be able to distinguish myself from my peers and even inspire them to make the next step for themselves.
(6) As an expert I can set my prices instead of it being a negotation. And I can set my working times.
(7) As an expert I can focus on the extra cool activities, such as week long trainings or working 1 on 1 with people that inspire me.
(8) As an expert, I can get access to materials I cannot easily get access to as just somebody (pretty sure I can assist/support/audit certain trainings I would otherwise have to put down a lot of money for)
(9) As an expert, I will attract people to work with me.
(10) As an expert, I can have a bigger impact.

Hey Max, loved your list man! Good stuff there ...
Something to consider though. You start your post with "why i want to become an expert". Would it change something in your energy if you had written "why I unappologeticly claim being an expert in my field from now on:...."?

Week10
Day 1 – come up with at least 10 answers for why do you want to become a/the known expert in your field and make a decision IF becoming that expert is what you want to go for;
To do this the American way:
I don’t need to become the expert I am already the expert in my field.
10 reason why
I have a waiting list
I can select my clients
I can talk about spirituality with the CEO ‘s whom I mentor.
I can ask a hourly rate that I want and I think my time is worth.
Because I am living my purpose.
I am of serves to my clients.
Because of my work I leave the world in a better state than before.
I can be altruistic
It puts me in a position that I learn every day.
That I can live from out empathy.
I can share the knowledge that has been past on to me.

A beautiful #10, Nanda. Thank you!

Hourly rates signal not an expert imo. Something to observe: the experts you consult, do they charge per hour or per case, consultation, delivery,... regardles how long it takes them? Who do you see more as an expert: the car repairman who charges per hour or the one per check-up? Why is that?
366 comments
Ok, that might have been to cryptic whaha!
Think doctors, repair specialist, your favorite restaurant, a builder, a dentist, a seller of garden equiptment, your grocery store, your tax specialist, your lawyer, etc etc etc.
Imagine you bought pizza per minute. Or a doctors appointment per 10 minutes. See what I imply? Would make for a bad business model, wouldn't it?
The key is to charge a % of the value or profit you bring, if possible tied into ROI. That alone will say "expert".

Why I want to be known as an expert in human-horse interaction
1. I have a huge passion for horses and I see so much frustration in the horse world! Horses are punished because there is no trust, have experiences bad handling in the past and/or miscommunication. I want to create a better world for horses, where trust, communication and connection are the basis for everything, but I can not help all horses myself. If I educate more people how to interact and communicate with horses, I help more horses. If I’m know as the expert in this field, more people will listen to me and follow my advice, thus more horses will get a better life. At the same time people will experience more joy with their horses.
2. I get invited to other countries to teach clinics. I love traveling and interacting with other cultures and I love bringing what I do to other countries where they often only have ‘cowboy style’ horse training. I have been to 13 countries so far but I have not been traveling for the past 3 years.
3. I can fill my retreats easier. People will come to my retreats from all over the world because they WANT to work with me and my educated horses. I don’t have to ask Nisandeh how to fill my upcoming retreat.
4. When I’m an expert, people will actually IMPLEMENT what I’m teaching because they believe what I’m teaching. As they will get the results (amazing relationship with their horse and getting their horse healthy and balanced) they will share it and refer people to my courses.
5. My life will become so much easier, as I don’t have to do big launches, spend money on FB ads etc because people will come to me from referrals and because I’m the expert.
6. There won’t we any complaints when I raise my prices. People will happily pay for my knowledge, so I will make more money.
7. When I’m writing my book, it will be sold very easily, because people want to read what I have to say. Next to my expertise, the book will be known for it's amazing illustrations from a known artist (thank you Maria Daniels).
8. I will be invited for podcasts (I want to be invited to Warwick Schillers podcast, he is known as THE expert in this field)
9. I can hire an assistant who will handle all the requests so I can focus on the content.
10. I will not be afraid to express MY opinion, even if it is different from what is commonly believed in the horse world. Some people think I’m too ‘spiritual’ and not down to earth to work with horses as I talk about breathing, energy, heart coherence etc. (thank you Sin Declerc).
366 comments
Lucie, if you would sound like all others, the current situation just continues for the horses. Being "the other voice" is key. It always has been. You know this. The horses depend on you being you, ruffing some feathers if needed...
Btw, going to places and do retreats there, would that help to fill them? Who are partners abroad that benefit from hiring an expery like you to talk to and work with their clients/partners/... - and why? Would a stoeterij or other high level partner need high ticket 1:1 help, so you can make it affordable for lower ticket group participants? How does your and their why come together? And where exactly is that, geographicly? You clearly are an expert. How would an expert in your field act? What would they do? And are you willing, in real reality, to do what it takes to be such an expert? Even if? What is your gut telling you?
Cheers!

Thank you Sin!
I did 2 retreats in France and Spain, but then I was invited and everything (accommodation, horses, food etc) was arranged. This is the first time I'm doing everything myself in NL and with my horses so I put the price a bit higher 😊. Thanks for your input!

Day 1: Why become an expert (and yes, I decide to go for that)
1. Because it can make selling my expert products easier
2. Because it can make getting great market feedback (reviews, ratings, NPS, etc) easier
3. Because it can make getting attention easier
4. Because it can help open doors that were otherwise closed
5. Because all the previous points can help creating leverage to other markets
6. Because it can lead to a self-selecting market revolving around you (your type of content, your style, your way of processing/delivering content, etc)
7. Because it contributes to feeling appreciated
8. Because it contributes to a feeling of fulfillment (meaningful contribution)
9. Because it contributes to a feeling of pride
10. Because it helps in getting into a self-reinforcing loop of developing stuff, selling it, being appraised for it, and so on

Why become the expert in this next level thing? Because I want more ME in the company, because of growth goals, because the masks of my competitors fell bigtime ( burned ground thinking activated since that unfortuned event), because I want to have decent positive impact, i love achalleng and so do they, I want to stop the social bloodbath that is at hand via my inner circle while making money and inspire local government to do the same. Yup, those are the big ones for my inner circle. For the outer system, i do NOT want to be the expert any more. I do want them to trust the system I will provide to replace me.
Got a second ideal client who wants to buy based on the idea, and open important doors - and warned me for the wolfs. I must still seem naive in the white guys heads whahaha. After that talk, i felt like a bad supplier, given how they go the extra marathon to help me make this a succes. That is their ticket to my inner circle, even if they don't yet know it. You do attract who you are.

If you can find the arrogance inside yourself to know you are an expert, you will radiate it and attract. It isn't a thinking act. It is a gut based and allowed feeling close to arrogance. The zone of no fear and 100% trust in you capabilities.
It is giving your 100%.
Hope it helps!
