Today, I want to write about a topic that many of us tend to shy away from: failure. Yep, you heard me right! We’re diving headfirst into the world of setbacks, mishaps, and moments when things don’t quite go as planned. I could write an entire book about it, and yet those were the moments I learned the most. To people striving for success, failure often seems to be an obstacle, a setback to be… Read More »embracing failure – the key to success
Some people come into your life for a season, some for a reason, and some for a lifetime, but eventually, they all leave. The same goes for everything else that we let into our lives. Once upon a time, there was a life without social media for me. And guess what? I loved it for quite a while. Since I am traveling most of the time, I won’t see most of the people I meet… Read More »why i am leaving social media

Life is a wild ride. As if to prove this saying, which is the shows motto right, I was sitting on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea on a stormy day when we recorded this conversation about life.
In mid 2021 I had this conversation with Paul about failures and how it is up to us, to change the meaning of a failure to turn it into positive learning experience. On this episode of My Perfect Failure (Failures Are Practice) If you feel like you are not quite living the life that inspires you to get out of bed in the morning. You’re not sure how to take big actions or decision to… Read More »my perfect failure
does more mean happier? There used to be a time when I had more stuff than I could possibly use. That didn’t happen accidentally but served two needs of mine (at least I thought so). On the one hand I wished to own things that gave me joy and on the other hand I wanted to look successful to others. I thought: once I proofed to the world (and myself) that I had success I… Read More »the struggle of having everything you want
simplicity of happiness · SE05 happy#224 – because you can So often, people need to have a reason to take action. It can become difficult to chose between investment and return, especially when helping others? Does there really need to be a return or is it about how we feel ourself doing it in the first place? A while ago, I had the chance to help a friend who found himself in a difficult situation.… Read More »SE05 happy#224 – because you can
simplicity of happiness · happy#223 – introvert 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 one of us. Jon Bakers, todays guest specializes in… Read More »happy#223 – introvert
simplicity of happiness · happy#222 – retire early While working on this podcast episode, I stumbled upon this text: F–– You Money Back 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… Read More »happy#222 – retire early
simplicity of happiness · happy#221 – life design I met Carlos and Susanne when they interviewed me for their podcast life design and there I had the feeling there is more to discuss in further details. At first glance they seem to be a happy couple that found their role by successfully raising 4 children and having a career. But, there is more to it and it did not go as expected and they had… Read More »happy#221 – life design
simplicity of happiness · happy#220 – life transitions Is a minimalist life possession free? No, it is well curated! Things that minimalists own, fulfill a purpose and often you will find a lot of high quality items in their daily life. That is because they don‘t like trash in their life and things that are used regularly are therefor higher quality. You see, being a minimalist is not about saying no. It is about saying… Read More »happy#220 – life transitions

simplicity of happiness · happy#218 – inclusion vs. exclusion 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. Basically we close to unlimited options and often that is a reason for our misery. As soon as we take a decision for something, we have… Read More »happy#218 – inclusion vs. exclusion
I’ve been where you are.
Full of ambition, clarity at times—yet stuck. Unsure where to turn.
I know what it feels like to need support but not know how to ask for it.
That’s why I offer one coaching session per week for free.
Because helping is what drives me.
I genuinely enjoy holding space for others to shift. It’s not just about giving—it’s about the clarity, courage, and transformation that can happen in a single powerful conversation.
Because real impact starts with a chance.
Some of the most driven, talented people don’t have the financial means—yet. This is my way of backing those who are ready to move.
Because I’ve been there.
I’ve had the vision, but not the support. This is how I give back—by offering what I once needed.
Because experience beats advertising.
I don’t do ads. I believe in real connection. If our conversation works for you, you’ll remember it. Maybe you’ll come back. Maybe you’ll refer someone. Maybe you’ll simply take the clarity and run with it.
No pressure. No pitch. No strings.
This is a gift.
All I ask is that you show up fully. Be honest. Be real. Be willing to go there.
You’ll take from it what you’re ready for.
What happens next is up to you.
See you soon,
