My Business Story

​

Have you ever procrastinated on a task, even if it was very important? And have you ever asked yourself why you are procrastinating and how you can solve it?

​

Procrastination is not a time management problem. There is scientific research that shows that procrastination is linked to emotions.

​

For me, it has always been clear that paperwork scared me. Why was that? Perhaps I picked up on the feeling of being overwhelmed and the stress associated with it when I was a small child. For generations in my family, paperwork was not seen as fun.

 

And that negative feeling was there with other tasks as well.

​

I knew from a very young age that if I didn't get rid of this fear, stress and overwhelm, I would never be able to start my own business. A dream only I knew about.

​

So I did what seemed logical to me: After school I went to university to study economics, where I also learnt time management and how to organise myself.

​

It took me long to start taking action. Then I finally pushed through my fear, again and again. It made me quite successful. Very exhausted and burned out, but at least I felt successful for the first time in my life.

​

I was able to coach and manage leaders and several teams of software developers at the same time. I loved my job. I had been a software developer myself, so I guess this helped me to be a good team leader.

​

I got compliments of being “extremly organised” while I also improved the productivity and emotional savety of my teams.

​

But I felt several huge things in my life were missing. I was tired. And I was sad and angry at myself. I still hadn't taken a single step towards my childhood dream: Becoming an entrepreneur, starting my own business, becoming a life coach and so much more.

​

Why was I still procrastinating on my true dreams and goals? Then I finally found the solution: It's all about emotion.

 

With the help of many life coaches, I worked on my childhood traumas and became a life coach myself.

 

I no longer have to distract myself with unimportant things because I can calm myself and reduce my stress and anxiety. I can deal with all the emotions.

 

This frees me up to create the business & life of my dreams because I can do whatever it takes to get where I want to be.
