Life Energy.It’s the only currency you’re born with.
– No manual.– No balance statement.– No expiration date given. At some point, we all make a decision:To trade this precious, finite energy for money. But here’s the mind-bending exercise that changed how I view everything: Let’s break down your “real” hourly rate: ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ: โฌ4000/month (โฌ1000/week roughly)40 hours = โฌ25/hour, right?Wrong.

How I learned to use discipline in the Special Operations Forces, without feeling overwhelmed all the time (and how it can benefit you): ๐
Let’s be honest here. How many times have you beaten yourself up for not being “disciplined enough”? The entrepreneurial world loves its discipline porn ;-):โข “5 AM club”โข “Hustle harder”โข “No days off”โข “Beast mode 24/7” Only 1 problem:Your willpower tank has a limit. Think about it:Ever noticed how you eat healthier in the morning…

“๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ?” The gun-wielding thug yells in the dark alley. Your family hides behind you. At that moment, the choice is crystal clear.
No hesitation.No calculation.No weighing of options. Life wins. Every. Single. Time. Funny how clarity finds us in our darkest moments. Yet in the comfort of our daily lives, we make the opposite choice. Again and again:โข Sacrificing health for higher incomeโข Missing family moments for “urgent” meetingsโข Choosing status over satisfaction We chase:โข The iPhone…

There’s a story Iยดm reminded of every time I work with high-achievers. It’s about an African farmer who sold his farm to spend his life searching for diamonds. He died broke and alone, while the largest diamond mine in Africa was discovered in his old backyard. I see this same pattern with successful entrepreneurs today:Chasing…

A transformation happens when I put on my Green Beret. I become someone unsuitable for civilian life. ๐
Maybe you know what I mean. That moment when something shifts inside you:โข For me, itโs putting on my Green Beretโข Or it was sliding into my ghillie suitโข Or that final weapons check before leaving the compound In an instant, I became:โข Laser-focusedโข Ruthlessly determinedโข Driven by mission But also:โข Capable of controlled but…

If you repeated your typical day for 100 days, would your life be better or worse?
But wait… it gets more confronting. Because you don’t live in a vacuum. Your daily choices create ripples: If you repeated today 100 times…โข Would your partner feel more or less loved?โข Would your children feel more or less seen?โข Would your team feel more or less inspired?โข Would your business grow or shrink?โข Would…

83 years ago today, 48 men made a choice that still humbles me. Their homeland was occupied.Their families left behind.Their future uncertain. Yet they stepped forward. No. 2 Dutch Troop wasn’t born in victory.It was born in the Netherlands’ darkest hour. These men:โข Left everything they knewโข Traveled to Scotland in secretโข Endured brutal Commando…

In 1998 I ยดFollowed My Passionยด and was bankrupt in 6 months – with a huge debt. Stupid advice ๐
I started a canyoning company in the Spanish Pyrenees. Perfect sense, right? I was passionate about outdoors and had years of experience as a guide. Just one tiny problem: I knew nothing about business. But how hard could it be? Turns out, very hard. Wrong partner. No understanding of marketing, sales, or finance.Sure, we had…
