    Should I keep watching TV?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    When I had a TV, I was watching because I had a TV and was lazy and not because I really wanted to see the stupid programs. Right now I watch 1 episode a day of some quality series, sometimes I don't. The stupidity of ordinary programs will hit you once you stop consuming them for a few months.

    Crash & Burn, Again.

    EXECUTION 
    I've read so many inspiring successful experiences from so many people. But I think everybody has his or her own story and learned something what you will never learn in a book. Just learning by acting. Last week I pulled the plug out of my company. I did everything like it should have...

    I saw your name passing by sometimes, but I don't really know you. I'm just really happy for you, man. You're an example for me.

    What These Sidewalkers Will Do For A Free Burger Will Leave You LoLing

    FUNNY 
    I was thinking the same. The last steps seems like the last years before retirement they are desperately looking forward for.

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    The only good thing on facebook right now is that it sends me reminders on what I posted 5 years ago. It reminds me how I evolved from sidewalker to slowlaner, and luckily keep evolving every day. Most important thing: Stop wasting time and money trying to become the new Metallica. "If you can...

    Where do you find people with their problems?

    That's the big question everybody is asking. I started a catering service in my country because everybody was/is complaining about wanting to eat healthy but lacking time. With that in mind, it should be a huge success, but it isn't. That's kinda what Goodreads is doing. I do, but sometimes...

    Where do you find people with their problems?

    Don't seek for it too far. I went to the world expo in Milan this weekend and there were like 200k visitors every day. That meant very long waiting lines. Same with amusement parks. People hate waiting. That's an opportunity. I also had a great idea for an app this weekend: a sort of dating...

    Becoming an (anti)guru

    I'm currently working on a catering business, but it's not going so well. To be honest, I followed the money. I thought the business was going to explode because there were no competitors in my region. But there was probably a good reason why. Anyway, I'm not giving up yet. I'm gonna try...

    Improving Public Speaking??

    HOT! 
    Yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger was also worried about his accent. That didn't keep him from making blockbuster movies. Same with Stallone. Or Van Damme. People also laughed with my accent when I was a kid because my parents came from another region. So what, it makes you unique. Face it, 99.9% of...

    Improving Public Speaking??

    HOT! 
    You might be the only person who thinks that, and even then, it's what you have to say what matters. I met several people who say the same, and all of them are making it up, causing anxiety for nothing. Besides, you can train your voice. It's just a muscle.

    Improving Public Speaking??

    HOT! 
    Funny story: One meeting I was Toastmaster of the evening. TME is the person who announces all the speeches and gives introductions to all speakers and evaluators etc. Sometimes we work with themes. Before the meeting I announced that a famous Dutch guru "Anton Robijns" was coming especially...

    Improving Public Speaking??

    HOT! 
    I'm a member of Toastmasters for more than 2 years right now (I'm a "Competent Communicator, or CC" now). Before I was quiet lonely, my old friends were pure sidewalkers (was before I read TMF) and I did not know where I could find people on the right frequency. In Toastmasters I found lots of...

    What are you struggling with?

    EXECUTION 
    I made a service where people could order clean fresh "fast" food for a whole week. I thought itwas a great idea because the concept works in other countries. But after 2 weeks still no orders.

    What are you struggling with?

    EXECUTION 
    I set up everything for my business 2 weeks ago, of course thinking a tsunami of customers would soon be hitting me. But not a single sale was made that day. And the next. And the next. And the next. So, I guess things are getting pretty desperate. I have to make more ads.

    SLOWLANE 
    As mentioned before, I'm an HR-manager at a transport company. One year ago I was really bored and was looking for another job. I couldn't find a decent one (luckily) and decided to start my own company. I'm preparing all this for the moment and the plan is to start all this while doing a full...

    car ad went viral by accident

    FUNNY 
    Indeed, I made this ad in 10 minutes and still can't understand so many people find it that amusing, but I also received negative reactions from people who thought I was serious :D This Volvo-ad is hilarious.
