This week I learned I really need to spend more time on marketing and working on older and newer contacts. It is far to ad-hoc currently.
I struggle in contacting my contact very regularly, this is also a bad habit I have with friends and family. The regular excuse it too busy.
My celebration was to make a list of all the friend and family are in my 20% top and started sending them a short message. I need to find a strategy to a kind of this for business contacts. Hope we are going to cover this, but did reserve some time in my agenda to brainstorm about this soon. Will also spy on what the others are doing and what works.

I have a simple, yet very effective strategy for just that, Marcel.
Please bring the question in the Q&A next week and I’ll share it with you.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT OUT OF THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT
I found it very valuable to get a clear picture on my progress this year so I can make a planning and commitment for the comming 7 weeks. It sound different when I say 7 weeks instead of 1.5 month. The latter feels like more time eventhough they are both the same. The power of words. But it does ensure that I develop the focus I need to complete my intention for this year.
I also love the cooperation with my Buddies. We share ideas, support and help eachother develop our (business) ideas and that is worth so much more than money.
THIS IS WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM DOING THIS WEEK'S PROCESS
However confronting it feels good to actively evaluate What Could Be Improved, What Was Good, What Are My Strenghts, What Are My Weaknesses and commit myself to a number of FOCUS areas. Being an entrepreneur, operating alone most of the time, I do enjoy this community where we grow, learn and develop ourselves together.
THIS IS HOW I'VE CELEBRATED THE COMPLETION OF THIS WOMB WEEK
I am on holiday in Denmark and have celebrated it with my daughter and granddaughter who flew in from Munich to meet me here.

It was great to review and getting clear on what is important in order to work smarter.
I celebrated with my friend Daniela at an art fair.
Happy weekend!

What did you get out of this week's assignment?
It is very nice to look back and set goals for the coming period. This motivates and calms. Just fly a helicopter above my company and me to see.
Doing more often, even when thinking in the hectic pace or what should continue what I'm doing.
What have you learned from this week's trial?
That standing still and looking back and forward has quality. And that this gives peace and pleasure and good energy to continue.
How will you celebrate your completion of this WOMB week?
Participating and working with it is already a party. I enjoy what I see more and more of what I achieve and what comes my way. All those weeks of visualizing and meditating and exercising are starting to pay off. And as they say be careful what you ask.
I see and feel that it is really about to happen. I see with which ease I dare to charge more for my product and service. And that help me further and the strains of having no money and not being able to pay off the debts. Now hope that my partner will trust it too that would give me peace of mind.
Next week a nice week with the stock market. Curious what the result will be, but I can already be happy with what I asked. This is going to give me so much.
Next week's assignment with the YouTube video is also the next logical step that I'm already enthusiastic about. I'm going to be there. In spite of the fair, wed and thu Friday are the opening days.
Full week to come. I now take my rest and start dreaming of beautiful wishes that come true.

I'm happy about WOMB this week, because it gave me the chance to summarize and decide about goals for next months and next year.
2
I celebrate that, although I have the feeling that I did less than I wanted, I definitely already made crucial steps last months;
3
I celebrate my accountability-buddies,
who both are very committed to their process and to their business;
4
I feel a sort of sad, that's not celebrating, that one of our buddies decided to say goodbye for now to the 'schedule' of WOMB , to feel able to improve in his own way and rythm. I wish that he and his business will flourish;
I suggested to Max to think about being adopted by another group, I would prefer together, or we could adopt another 'broken' group?
5
This weekend I will walk in the woods, clean my house, hug grandchildren, choose stockfoto's for my socialmedia. Have a good weekend everyone!

This week was confronting. Writing down my strengths and those of my company. But also thinking about my weaknesses.
What I learned. I know what is not going right. But I can talk about it and I can DO something about it. So, trying to find the solution, forcing myself to move forward and not stay in the moment of what is not going right.
My goals? And I am so, so proud. I made an appointment with a business friend to talk about making a series of podcasts. I have been thinking about that for so long and now it is finally going to happen.
I set myself a deadline for the magazine I am finally going to make. I was only thinking about: I do not have the time. I do not have the money. I do not have a graphic designer. Turns out, the solution was right in front of me.
This week, the whole program is giving me structure and focus. I am not saying I am there yet, but I can see the progress and I am grateful for that.
I am going to have a wonderful weekend with friends and family.
Last but not least. I was wondering whether there are more buddy groups that have fallen apart and whether (a) new group(s) could be formed. I really like the idea of a buddy group and I would love to be in one again.

Hi Mariëlle, would you like to join Max and me for next seven weeks?

The thing with the habbit is that the question is given. How would it be if there was a journal with 365 questions? Or a randomized question of the day on a site? For me, the quality of thinking is higher when the question is not mine. As always, the quality of the question decides the potential of the answer.
I love implementation sessions. Minset, goal, 3hrs of gogogo, break, talk in the groip. What sucks is bigger to do at the end than at the start. Zero resilt in that case.

CELEBRATION TIME
1. From this week’s assignment I got perspective on what I have lived and what are the important things I still want to get from the WOMB program.
2. From doing this week’s process I learned that no matter how hard life hits sometimes, taking a moment to review the past, the present and future is very liberating and in a way healing and invigorating.
3. I celebrated the completion of this WOMB week by eating Ramen :p

Didn't really get anything out of this week's assignments. Got follow up time for things that needed more time to mature from idea to strategy and omplementation plan/team.
My son leaves next week. I'm going to spend quality tome with him 😀

What I got out of this weeks assignment is:
- Reflection time, good to look back on what worked and what didn't work.
- Very 'insightful' to have an overview of my strengths and weaknesses.
- Lack of focus, doing too many things at the same time brings you nowhere. Good to focus on 3-5 things for rest of this year and commit to that!
I celebrated today by buying some gifts for myself to make life easier for coming months with regards to my focus point of creating a YouTube channel: a webcam, an external harddrive and a selfie stick😊

What did I get from this week?
Best thing is that happened this week is that I see more clear the possibilities to integrate the programm in my life and in the goal: in my business without loosing what is important for me, but have a kind of win win working
Visability, making use of my network and modern media has gotten my focus. I started it and it needs follow through.
I see the need and am willing to make a more strategic plan. Combined with more accurate timemanagement
I reached out to Nisandeh and feel good about that. It sharpenend me in my business.
I reached out to a wombmember and feel good about that. It needs now follow up
I reached out to colegues and some clients.
I understand more about the difference between connection and being in contact. I want to spent more time on contact then on connection and focus it more on working on my business then in my business
Cehration is leisuretime

What I got out of this weeks assignment is
That I am still not speaking my truth that I try to speak it by half-truth.
It’s good to reflect on setting your goals. Schot voor open doel.
I’m gonna celebrate this bye going easy on myself.

I love your manner of celebrating Nanda. It is important to go easy on yourself.

1. What dit I get out of this weeks assignment is that I understand the meaning of the WOMB program (finally) and have the insights for a part of my company that is doing great.
2. What I learned from this weeks assignment that consistency is key. This week I managed to do the assignments during my holiday in Mallorca, but forgot my weekly meeting this morning with my buddies Bas en Marcel! I am sorry I failed. I be present the next seven weeks for you.
Meanwhile I got the point of the WOMB program is developing a new habit to work on my business every working day for 10-15 minutes.
3. One of my goals for 2022 is that I am changing my business model (less interim management and more teacher, trainer or advisor roles). This week alone I was ask to lead meetings or training like sessions with mayors and aldermen and managementteams of 4 different municipalities. I am happy that this is taking place.
Also I sold until now my intensive knowledge training programs (2 programs of videolessons about how local government really works and hoe to develop political IQ) to four organizations. Last week there was a new company who wanted that.
I am celebrating 🥳 it during my holiday here in Mallorca to explicitly thank Miranda my wife during dinner who is always supporting me.

I learned that things are coming together and I need to be patient (besides work with focus). I invested a lot of time in creating a boxed set (book) in the start of this year- now it is creating possibilities that (Henny and me) can explore.
I learned I should not be so hard on myself and not push myself over my limits. Yet, to grow the extend of these limits.
I have my focus points very clear for myself these three months. These are the priorities. I need to keep my eyes on these- and learn.
At this moment I have zero energy. I need to recharge. And I need to make some (tough) choices of what to stop.
I loved to read what peoples strengths were.
My celebration is hard to see now because I feel stupid, embarrassed and ashamed of needing to rest this whole day- while I had so much planned. I also feel scared a bit. So I will need to start from there- that would be awesome.
Ha! I am going to scedule days off and trips for the next 3 months. That is my celebration!

Try to be a bit more mild to yourself Bas. taking care of yourself and your own energy is the most important thing to do.
You are doing great, developing great stuff for your target audience. Keep 🆙 the good work!

Thank you so much for being so honest about your feelings Bas.
Go easy on yourself and be proud of how far you've got and the fact that you've got your focus points clear.
You cannot keep giving without filling your own cup. Make sure you schedule enough time for yourself and your mental care during the week to keep up all your good work.

Thank you MArie-Louise for your kind words. I am feeling a bit better- and will schedule more rest. That also is a habit and structure I need to grow. Everything is an experiment 😀

* What I got from this week’s assignment: clarity on my goals for the next 7 weeks. I had one goal clear, but it was interesting to be challenged to choose 3 areas/goals.
* What I learned from the assignment? It was difficult for me to come up with the strengths of my business.
* How am I going to celebrate? Camping this weekend with my son and his scouts group.

Why was it difficult for you to find the strengths of your company, Lola?
Enjoy the scouting weekend with your son!

Hi Alexander, thanks for asking... and for the good wishes for the weekend.
I realize that it is difficult for me to find strengths in my business because of the impostor syndrome, it is real to me!
I don't consider myself an expert in anything, my business is about group travel but because I have a full time job and limited vacation days I am offering online group activities - mastermind groups specifically. I love it, my clients love it, but I struggle to see strengths... And it is very difficult for me to find new clients. I definitely need to work in my confidence and my beliefs!!

What did you get out of this week’s assignment?
I am doing well and there is soo much room for improvement.
However... what I found out this week is that for the first time in years I have the feeling that I can actually MAKE a strategy that makes sense. That would fit me, and my company. And that would make a difference in people's lives. And I'm having so many ideas that if they're not working there are other ideas. Some ideas will get back into the freezer for upcoming years. This may not sound like a big thing but it does. I never had the feeling that I was working strategically and I was doubting from the start, and it so often didn't work out... now I for the first time have the feeling that I have a strategy that makes sense (and I don't even have a whole strategy, its ideas, but it's going somewhere...
How are you going to celebrate your completion of this WOMB week?
I'm dancing on my spot now for a few minutes, and later on I have something really exciting that I'm not gonna share:)

That working in the WOMB is not about the program but about developping habbits in to succeses.
What did you learn from doing this week’s process?
That I am on track but I need to stay inline and that choosing me time is part of the succes as well.

Thank you for the Big hug, nice to see I am not alone!
I realy think this is the big bonus of the WOMB : hearing, reading that eventhoug we all do have different businesses we strugle with simmular problems. And that this group feels save enough to tell it.

There is one thing that is really a cause for celebration:
While listening to the first podcast The Authentic Leader I made, I heard my guest (psychologist and director) say that he spent years testing specialists who became leaders. I quickly contacted him afterwards and he is just as excited as I am to make this a special podcast. In this special, we discuss the 10 most important development points for these novice leaders. These are of course fantastic research results for me that I can work with for the time being in the form of blogging and Youtube. I now hope that this will finally pay off and that everything will be okay before the end of the year.
Also, my book in question and answer form is almost ready to be published. I will contact Arjen about this next week.
Making the assignment for the Zoom session this afternoon and tonight I will celebrate all this with a beautiful moment of relaxation with music and a drink.
