I am sitting a my Computer, checking mails, process bookings for the Lodge, record Podcasts and am planning my milestones for 2017. Then one question hits me: Do I really want to keep writing stories on my blog? Yes! Good, but what exactly? I wasn’t sure. Since I shifted my focus on recording and broadcasting my German and my English podcast on a regular basis I missed out to write any articles. The main reason… Read More »back to the roots
Hi there, I am back in Berlin for some days. I spent the last month in my Zanzibar home after having spent all winter in a skiing resort in the Swiss mountains. Custom officers keep asking me about my crappy passport but I always tell them, that although it might not look new on the outside, it has so many stories to tell in the inside. Just like I want my life to be. Not shiny… Read More »crappy on the outside?
These guys are a great inspiration to me concerning minimalism and focus. Now they made a documentary about what matters most and what doesn’t. Here’s a preview:
One of the most inspiring people blogging about simplicity and minimalism is Joshua Becker from Arizona. He recently published some statistics for the US that might be interesting for European readers as well since we have the same tendency. I am posting an excerpt of Joshuas list that was originally posted here. There are 300,000 items in the average American home (LA Times). The average size of the American home has nearly tripled in size… Read More »stuff statistic
I am so happy to present yet another wonderful post by Lisa. Without knowing she wrote about the reason why my sailing and Sahara seminars have such an impact: Sometimes it happens, someone asks me:“What are you thinking about right now?“ Suddenly I am torn from my thoughts which were just wandering on their own. In order to come to a suitable answer I try to structure the chaos in my head and bring my… Read More »what our brain does when it does nothing at all
I love to own things. In my past I always wanted to own everything that somehow seemed interesting to me. I sometimes still have the tendency to do that. Most of the times I nowadays realize that it is not important to me to own stuff, but to actually use stuff. So more and more often, before buying I ask myself the following question: Do I have any other possibility to use what I am… Read More »BUD principle
There are several reasons behind my decision to provide coaching free of charge.
1. Desire to Help: I find fulfillment in assisting others, as it brings a sense of personal satisfaction. While it may seem altruistic, it’s worth acknowledging that as humans, we often find intrinsic joy in being of service to others.
2. Impact and Contribution: I aim to make a meaningful impact by sharing my knowledge. I believe in the power of investing in individuals who may not have the financial means but possess great potential. It’s akin to being a seed investor, sowing the seeds for future success.
3. Supporting Those in Need: Having experienced a period of financial constraints with abundant ideas, I recognize the importance of providing support to those who may not currently afford my services. This strategic generosity allows me to contribute to the growth of individuals who can benefit the most.
4. Effective Marketing: Offering free coaching serves as a powerful marketing tool. Recognizing the transformative nature of my coaching, I trust that those who experience it will remember and potentially return for future sessions. Additionally, satisfied individuals are likely to share their positive experiences, organically expanding my reach.
It’s essential to emphasize that this offering comes with no strings attached. The quality of the session and any subsequent actions are entirely in your hands. Attend with focus, be prepared, and decide what you want to derive from the experience.
Ultimately, this is a gift from me to you. No strings attached. The choice of what to do with it rests entirely with you.
I look forward to talk to you, Floh
