7 What else should we know about you?

1. My vision is to have establish a podium / hub that supports businesses to improve their supply chain processes with the focus on smart and sustainable.

2. My target audience are business that struggle to find the right (smart supply chain based) solutions as an answer to the many governmental policies that force business to be more sustainable.

3. I will support them in understanding the what is needed (by focus groups and education) and how they can make a underpinned decisions (work sessions and decisions support tools) in in their way they can run parts of their supply chain (showing the impact of made decisions)

4. Working towards a more structured approach and to avoid taken obvious (;-)) wrong steps is what I hope to gain from the business program.

5. From other participants I home to understand what is needed to create focus on entrance and connecting to business and what the main triggers are to come safely on board.

6. I can share my knowledge on topics as: logistics and supply chain management, strategy and innovations. I can also help in bringing in out-off the box ideas.

7. I worked in many fields and disciplines that is for me a strength but I also see this as a weakness. I have a lot of energy and get more working together to establish success, that in itself is often my problem to take the right steps to be successful.

1. Business vision
My bigger picture is to help people increase their self-reliance in life in several important areas (underdeveloped with most grown-ups), and get an income out of that. Short term business goal: >100K passive income from online content this year, and at least double that next year, while increasing sales through my own channels (rather than partner channels).

2. Target audience
People who [a] want to grow business-wise, or as a self-developing person, [b] see the value in gaining acclaimed knowledge thereto, but who also see the value in getting that in a more condensed and integral way, instead of huge piles of separate books/inputs, and [c] are willing to invest a modest amount in getting such condensed and integral knowledge.

3. My products
Online courses: all about business, all about self-development, and all about thinking. Book summaries: 60 of the most popular/famous productivity books, with the essence in 2 pages.

4. Get from this program
[a] Big Stick to drive progress, [b] perhaps find the spirit to break down my disliking of marketing and sales activities (maybe even starting to like it?), [c] perhaps nice new connections or mutual opportunities.

5. Receive from peers
Perhaps practical tips about tooling and making online business work more smoothly, or marketing-wise more effectively (from participants who are beyond the very early stage).

6. Give to them
[a] Critical feedback about their status, with suggestions for what to possibly reconsider or further elaborate (which could include review of business plans or financial business cases), [b] my ideas about what might be a good idea, [c] perhaps (parts of) my products.

7. About me, in context of this program
I see myself as a rather sociable person, but I would prefer short & sweet functional interactions (not long sessions/discussions). Of course it matters that peers have a good mutual feeling, but once that is clear, let’s get the focus on the ball.
Some background trivia: living in Amsterdam, 2 very young kids, did a couple of studies, had a couple of mostly failed business ventures, published a couple of books, and I’m a bit of a sucker for side-projects that impede my ambitions (a productivity issue that I ironically describe in detail in one of my courses).

Beantwoord de volgende 7 vragen in het opmerkingenveld hieronder:

1. Wat is uw/uw zakelijke grote visie?

Visie en missie

“Onze missie is om veilig fietsen een deel van ieders leven te maken”

Onze passie is om klanten te begeleiden bij de reparatie en onderhoud van een fiets.

Dit doen we vanuit eigen expertise, we zijn namelijk zelf gepassioneerde fietsers met ruim 30 jaar ervaring in ons vak. Maar buiten dat, is het ook gewoon leuk om over fietsen te praten en om ervaringen te delen.

Onze specialiteit ligt voornamelijk op het gebied van kennis en vaardigheden van het product fiets. Hierdoor kunnen we zorgen dat de juiste monteur de juiste fiets maakt op de juiste plek.

Wij streven er dan ook naar, dat opdracht wordt doorverteld aan een ander, want dat is de basis voor ons bestaan.

Ik zoek fietsenmakers.

Hoe dan ?
Hoe krijg ik het gemaakt, overal in Nederland, hulp bij een kapotte fiets? Bijvoorbeeld met een lekke band, een kapotte ketting, bij storingen van een elektrische fiets en meer.

Personeel en kennis te kort
Als bedrijf zoeken wij monteurs die reparatie en onderhoud aan onze fietsen kunnen verrichten in heel Nederland. Er is heel wat kennis en ervaring nodig om een fiets veilig op de weg te houden.

Verbaast
We hebben het gevraagd bij de plaatselijke fietsenmakers en allemaal willen en doen ze iets anders. Dit is niet te beheersen.

We zoeken een klant gerichte oplossing
De reparaties of onderhoud vinden plaats in de werkplaats of op een gewenste locatie van de klant. Op een geschikt tijdstip om de klant het zo gemakkelijk te maken. Wie betaald en wat het kost is vooraf zo ver mogelijk helder helder voor alle partijen.

We zoeken helderheid en kwaliteit
De kwaliteit begint bij helderheid. Dit bespaart veel tijd en frustratie en onnodige en tijdrovende handelingen. In de opdrachten gaat men voor First Time Right.

Toekomst denken is duurzaamheid
De reparaties en het onderhoud zijn erop gericht om fiets plezier en de levensduur van fietsen te verlengen. Door dat de klanttevredenheid hoog is hebben we de ambassadeurs en dus de toekomst voor ons product in huis.

Ontzorgen
Nooit meer met pech komen te staan.
Fietsen is heerlijk – tot je pech krijgt. Dan merk je pas hoe zwaar je (elektrische) fiets eigenlijk is of hoe ongemakkelijk je speciale raceschoenen lopen.

2. WIE help je (doelgroep)?

- B2B en B2C

3. HOE help je hen (je belangrijkste product/dienst)

- De fietser en de fietsenmakers de juiste match geven. De fietser de juiste fietsenmaker en de fietsenmaker de juiste klant.
- Online leeromgeving

4. Wat wil je bereiken met het programma Werken AAN Mijn Bedrijf?

- Visie en missie en doelstelling er staat en werkt en floreert.

5. Wat zou je van de andere deelnemers in de groep willen ontvangen?

- Kennis en hulp in maken educatieve video’s en online leeromgeving.

6. Wat ben je bereid te geven aan de andere deelnemers?

- Mijn kennis en ervaring en inzet.

Iedereen waar ik (wij) de fiets van in onderhoud heb. Beleefd een uniek gevoel van plezier en vrijheid.

Iedereen begint onder aan de berg.

‘Winnaars hebben een plan, verliezers hebben excuses’.

Het zoeken en het aangaan van uitdagingen drijven mij als persoon en ondernemer. Kenmerkend voor mij, is hierbij dat wanneer 100 mensen zeggen dat iets niet kan, ik zal bewijzen dat het wel kan.

Deze instelling slaat dan ook over naar mijn sport, wielrennen. Waarbij ik tijdens trainingen het uiterste van mijzelf vraag om de beste prestatie te kunnen behalen, opgeven is hierbij geen optie.

“Ik ben ondernemer en met dit traject wil binnen één jaar miljonair zijn” 

Ik vroeg aan hem waarom hij dit wilde en hij gaf me het volgende antwoord: 
 
“Ik zie iedereen om mij heen in mooie en snelle auto’s rijden. Ze vieren overal ter wereld feest en hebben een geweldig leven. Het is heel gemakkelijk om met crypto, dropshipping of NFT’s geld te verdienen. 

Ik heb nu een fijne baan met veel vrijheid en verdien prima. Het geeft me veel rust en zekerheid, dat past me. Toch zeg ik mijn baan op en ga ik voor het grote geld” 

Ik begrijp hem volkomen, als je denkt dat er kansen liggen, dan wil je ze pakken. Dat gevoel is niet te stoppen of te onderdrukken. 
 
Is alles wat het lijkt?
Ondernemen is echt niet altijd wat je op de socials ziet. Enorme toewijding, hard werken, veel op je bek gaan, doorzetten, omgaan met teleurstellingen en tegenslagen.  Die vaste baan is ineens niet meer zo’n gek idee.
 
En ga je dan toch voor jezelf beginnen, ga ervoor, maar bedenk de mooiste gebouwen zijn ook niet in minder dan een jaar gebouwd.
Heb geduld en geniet. 

7. Wat moeten we nog meer van je weten?

Volledige plan

- Startend In Nederland met 12 ( elke provincie ) grote hal met 30 fiets reparatie en onderhoud werkplekken. In 3 niveaus en niveau 4 zijn de opleiders/ coaches.
- Vanuit elke locatie rijden in die omgeving 15 bussen met monteurs “Rijdende fietsenmakers”
- We doen werk voor B2B en B2C
- Werken als landelijk kwaliteitsmerk/ label.
- Iedere fietser wil zijn fiets laten afleveren, roesten of onderhouden door FIETSreparatie.nu
- Na Nederlands, komt België en Duitsland en de rest van Europe
- We nemen verantwoording en nemen en geven helderheid en duidelijkheid vanuit waardigheid en betrokkenheid.
- Zorg en verantwoordelijkheid en voorbeeld voor vele landen t.a.v. milieu.

Ik verdien 33 miljoen aan de verkoop van platform FIETSreparatie.nu

Bij de eindverkoop over 3 jaar rond mijn 57e verjaardag.

Tot die tijd (2 februari 2025 ) houd ik 1 miljoen per jaar over aan deze opdracht.

Ik zet dit uit met een heel educatie netwerk in de hele wereld. Wat mij de rest van mijn leven mij ruim voorziet in geluk, plezier voor mezelf en mijn naaste.

“Mijn missie is om veilig fietsen een deel van ieders leven te maken”

Ik wil een Nederlands maatje
