This is the spirit of the beginner

You have probably already experienced beginners. Perhaps it was when they started their business for the first time and saw nothing more than potential and possibilities in front of them.

They didn’t know what they didn’t know, and that was exactly what led to their early success. You have taken risks. You have innovated. You have created without any restrictions.

But over time, they have spent more and more time in their heads. And the more they did, the more all of this stuff started to accumulate.

The restrictive beliefs of the things they “do” as founders.

The assumptions about the way your company should “function”.

The messages with which you (including yourself) are bombarded by the strategies, tools and tactics that you “use” if you want to be successful.

These are the same mental constructs that tell us in a Go game that we only have to take two steps.

And it holds you back.

Select who you should work with

The third choice is almost impossible for most of us. We are simply too to see it.

But just because you can’t see it does not mean it is not there.

You already have the most answers. The way forward is right in front of you. You just can’t see it because your head blocks your vision.

And that’s why it is so valuable to work with an external expert or a consultant, right? Someone who ran in her shoes. Who knows what what is and will show you the way.

Yes but …

Before selecting this person, think carefully about where you will lead you.

If Alpha had been trained by the grand master, it would never have played the game that it played.

Someone who has moved on their way to which they are on, and more about their industry than you know, probably all have the same assumptions and restrictions they have.

You can only take one place. And there they were there before.

Do you want to go there?

Or do you want to go to the place that does not yet exist? The place you have imagined for years and you have inspired you to found your business at all?

For this they need someone who knows fewer About her business than you, no longer.

Someone who is not limited to the standards and norms in their industry or distracted by all the sound in their heads.

Someone who has more questions for you than answers. That is not afraid to say: “Explain it to me as if I were five.”

How would it feel that it is not stressed by all the complexity and restrictions with which you are struggling with? Be confident on the way you are on?

How would it feel to see the things you can’t see?

My customers tell me that it feels free and exciting. As if you can return to the funny part of the growth of your business again.

And that’s because I am not the one who has the answers. The answers are already there. It is my job to help you uncover you by seeing what you can’t.

And sure, I have a track record and a toolbox with strategies and tactics to find the answers and bring them to life, but they are all in the service of the ideas and the vision that they already have. This future of your company, which has never existed before …

… but it will be a day.

Are you ready to go out of your head and have fun again? Are you ready that your vision finally becomes a reality?
