It's the end of the year, a time for personal episode again. 2023 hasn't been an easy journey for me, and I believe it's crucial to discuss struggles, fears, and losses.

Introvert or Extrovert. Most of us heart these terms before, but who can recall any business training, strategy or job motivation that did not seem to be for the extroverts.I belief that this is more on the behavioral site than a real character trade and this behavior being caused by different intrinsic motivations. Nevertheless it occurs in each o…

While working on this podcast episode, I stumbled upon this text:F–– You MoneyBack in the 1920s, the actor Humphrey Bogart used to keep a $100 bill in his nightstand at all times. That’s the equivalent of over $1,200 today. He referred to it as his ‘f–– you money’, because it meant he’d never be forced to take a part he didn’t want. He once said th…

You see, being a minimalist is not about saying no. It …

Often I am addressing those of you, to whom happiness is a choice. I include myself into this category. No matter how much we think that life is fooling us, it is on us to choose what we make of it.

These years lockdowns turn out to have something quite positive for me. I don‘t think that I have stayed for so long at the same place in the last 10 years.That meant for me not going on any adventures, not traveling and not starting anything new. Well, at least not except for my tiny farm project in the Swiss mountains.I was frustrated about that …

Worry fear and being scared is often routed in the past or the future.

It has been a while that I moved from Berlin and it has even been a few years more that I started my journey to minimalism.There was a time when I could not let go of excess stuff. While my income was increasing I purchased new stuff every once in a while but I did not let go of the old.I used to have closets full of clothes, most of them I never w…

Don’t we often mistake the symptoms for the cause?Somehow this seems to be a a very humanly behavior because we don’t only do it for ourselves.I have recently been on a road trip through Germany and I was shocked to see how many forests all over the country where dying.A result of the heat I thought and a research showed that they actually die beca…

In preparation for this episode I wanted to look for something special at first. Then I realized, that it doesn‘t matter if it was episode 200, 300, 1000 or any random number in between. It is always the most important episode that I am recording at the moment. Life is a progress and always now.Therefor it also doesn‘t make sense to feel grief abou…

I kept myself busy while being locked down and build myself a little farm in the mountains. As so often I get inspired when doing something else. I had a lot of hatching eggs lately and they have been teaching me patience. Some of them hatched way earlier than expected and other took for ever and although there is basically a living bird inside the…

With a lot of quiet time there is space to think. About life and what it means to us, to me.What will happen when we don‘t put the money on the table and expect the most for it. Most people on earth being locked away gives plenty of room for other things. Such as nature, or reflexion.So I ask myself, what if we take this time to not ask for the big…

I struggle at the moment.I trained myself over the last year to always look out for the positive. Every crisis has a chance to grow and still it feels awful to be in the middle of one.

The beginning of this year has been in the name of change and growth. Mainly how to embrace struggle, failure and backsets into a learning possibility and the opportunity to grow.A belief and mindset that helps you on that journey is the realization that what brought you here won‘t get you there.When you reached a plateau and that is were you want …

As you know, I love the ocean. I love sailing and it makes a perfect metaphor for life.It also is a decent tool for coaching, mainly because of the lack of distraction. You have a clear routine and in between a lot of time where you can’t do lot. You can’t go anywhere and even on the boat the options are limited. That might come close to the natura…

In the last episodes I talked about the up & down cycles of success (and happiness), the opportunities, and the possibility of growth. All of these need you to see and value your achievements.

Growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. When everything is running smooth in your life, it looks to the outside world as if you are improving at the moment.

Sometimes I think that I have it figured all out. After all, I did so much coaching with others and am well aware of my own desires and wishes that I am the only one who does not need to have an own coach.Guess what, that ain‘t true.

A week ago, I talked about the tiny steps that will help you achieve your biggest goals.Another way to look at the very same process is slowing down to speed up.

I talked about this concept before. What affects the quality of a situation the most, is not so much the situation itself but your mindset towards it.Almost every incident in life can be seen from two different perspectives. Everything you love comes with something you don‘t. You will need to accept the downsides to become happy with what you are d…
