Are you really visible in your business?

My theme for this year has been visibility.
I knew this was something I had to learn and do more.
Because the truth is, if people see you more often, they think about you more often.
 
If you watched my stories, I told you that a followed the Instagram Stories Course of of CelineCharlotte. She created an Instagram Course and it was very inspiring to see how you can host a course on Instagram.
 
Let me share a couple of takeaways from this course.
1. A Story, is just one box, a 15-min story. It isn't the complete story with the different 15-min segments. Not very important, but that was definitely eye-opening to me.
2. If you post about a topic, try to post 3 stories about it, otherwise, it is too random.
3. Try to use tom storytelling skills when you are sharing a story. You start with a good hook, some tension, and the end is all good.
4. People don't want to hear only serious stuff. Even for business coaches, the stories most watched are the fun, vacation stor

Als je denkt aan Vrijheid in Business, want betekent dat voor jou?⁠ ⁠

Als je denkt aan Vrijheid in Business, want betekent dat voor jou?⁠ ⁠Vrijheid is iets wat iedereen wel wil. Want het tegen over gestelde willen we niet, gebonden zijn, vastzitten. Daar kies je natuurlijk niet voor.

Alleen als je praat over vrijheid, dan bedoelt niet iedereen hetzelfde. Het heeft zo verschillende veel ladingen. Vrijheid voor je business, wat betekent dit dan voor jou? 

đŸ§šâ€â™€ïžBetekent het dat je niet meer hoeft te werken?⁠

đŸ§šâ€â™€ïžFinancieel vrij? ⁠

đŸ§šâ€â™€ïžOf dat je zelf de regels maakt? ⁠

đŸ§šâ€â™€ïžBetekent dat je werkt wanneer jij wilt?⁠ ⁠

Voor mij betekent vrijheid in je business:⁠

  • Dat je vrij bent om iets te doen waarvoor je gemaakt bent. ⁠
  • Dat je niet iemand anders visie volgt, maar je eigen visie creĂ«ert. ⁠
  • Dat je vrij bent om je eigen balans te zoeken van gezin & werk.
  • En dat het OK is dat dit balans erg verschillend is per persoon.⁠
  • Dat je vrij bent om je eigen leven te creĂ«ren. Niet een leven waarbij je de hele dag niks doet, want daar geloof ik niet in, maar jij

Waar haal jij je waarden & inspiratie vandaan? (Waarschuwing, eerlijke post-alert)

Als je met persoonlijke ontwikkeling bezig bent dan zie je om je heen coaches die allemaal hun inspiratie ergens vandaan halen.
Tegenwoordig is het trend om met Human Design bezig te zijn, of Ayahuasca te proberen, hypnose te beoefenen, tarot kaarten te raadplegen of je doelen je manifesteren.
 
Vandaag is het zondag, en na 6 maanden ga ik voor het eerst weer naar mijn kerk in Barneveld (fysiek dan) @doorbrekers. Ik geloof al zo'n 20 jaar in Jezus, en het geloof is voor mij hetgeen waar ik mijn normen en waarden vandaan haal en mijn inspiratie & creativiteit voor mijn business.
 
Ik geloof in een God die ultiem creatief is en tot mij wil spreken. Hij geeft mij veel richting in mijn business, laat mij groot dromen en geeft visie voor mijn leven & business. Mijn Purpose.
 
Ik heb zijn leiding ook wel vaker genegeerd, omdat een idee té goed was, maar waar ik toch uiteindelijk heb moeten concluderen dat het niet is waarvoor ik gemaakt ben. Op langer termijn verlies

Ik ben zo druk!

Mijn favoriete reactie op mensen drukte en stress is altijd geweest: "Maar het kan toch ook anders?", wat me natuurlijk niet altijd in dank werd afgenomen.

Sommige mensen zitten zo vast in hun patronen van werk, druk, sociaal, afspraken, commitments en gezin dat ze geen uitweg zien uit de drukte. ⁠ ⁠

Ik geloof dat een business bouwen waarbij je maar een paar uurtjes werkt, eerder een uitzondering is dan de regel. Natuurlijk zijn er mensen die dit zo hebben gebouwd, maar er zal in vele gevallen eerst even goed gewerkt moeten worden. Hard werken is goed, maar...⁠ ⁠

Een ding stond bij mij altijd als een paal boven water. Hoe leuk ik het vind om mijn eigen bedrijf te bouwen, het moet vooral passen in combinatie met mijn gezin. Mijn huwelijk mag er niet onder leiden, mijn gezin moet floreren en ik wil tijd over houden voor de dingen die écht belangrijk vind in het leven. ⁠ ⁠

Ik geloof dat het gezin altijd eerst komt en dat je balans moet zoeken die voor jou werkt. Dat dit balans voor ie...

What is the difference between Purpose & Passion?

Do you base your business on your passion or your purpose?
Or is there even a difference?

Passion is something that gives you great energy... for a while.
Passion comes and goes. You might be passionate about something for some time, but after a while, it goes away and you might find a different passion.

However, purpose is something you have to offer to this world. It combines your values, your unique talents, and your experience.
Purpose is your mission. It is something that doesn't change.

If you base your business on your passion, you might not love your business 2-4 years from now.

If you base your business on your purpose, it will be fulfilling, life-giving and the excitement will not die down.
The form or your business model might change, but the mission stays.

How do you discover your purpose?

Why personality tests work against you.

I often felt a strange one, feeling the odd one in a group. I felt that the type of personality was rare, and thought that something must be wrong with me. Did you ever felt like you are the strange one in your group?

Personality tests helped me to understand myself better.

It gave clarity on how my ’type’ thinks and acts.

It points out my strengths but also my weaknesses.

Doing Enneagrams, Myers-bricks, StrenghtFinders, and DISC taught me a lot about myself. I learned to see that those things that made me different are unique. That my personality can be a gift. And that I should tap into my gifting.

For this season I work with a coach that keeps me accountable to my goals. I do better when other people hold me accountable than only to myself. Can’t let other people down, right?

During our first conversation, I was trying to explain, why I do the things I am doing from the point of my personality.

Why I am self-sabotaging.

I learned a lot about myself through all the personal

What I learned from my past work experience

I used to be in Advertisement for 8 years. Talking with clients, creating something nice, working together in a team of professionals, being in a creative environment, and doing many different projects at the same time. My role was project & account management. I still love this world. I like to pressure, the deadlines, the hectic, the clients, and the fact that no day is the same.

At the same time, I don’t believe in long hours anymore. I love it that I can put my time in the places I value more than work at the office. And even though I lived for a certain kind of stress (it makes you work harder and take faster decisions), it is also a toll on your body. Your body holds the stress in, even if you are not aware or feel this.

Because of this advertisement experience, I learned many things.

I remember clearly when I started my second advertisement job that my boss, at the time, sat me down and told me that I had to tie all loose ends in the project. I learned over the years to se

10 tips to create your first video

 

Content is king and the easiest way for people to digest that is video. Video has still the most impact and helps you to become a trusted expert really fast. 

In this video Jonah is giving you 10 tips for creating your first video. 

#1 Keep it simple
Your first video shouldn’t be complicated. You can add all the bells and whistles later on, but first gain some success by making it very simple, coming up with a simple plan. Something as easy as a talking head as you see now, and then adding in some detail shots, (that’s also known as B-roll)

#2 Have a storyline
Figure out what you want to say, how you’re going to say it, and why. And have an end goal in what you want to accomplish with what you’re saying

#3 Don’t sweat it about the camera
Even something as simple as your smartphone, your iPhone, your Android device, whatever, can create great videos. Just make sure it stays steady. Make sure the focus is not going all over the place. But these things can definitely work.
