The hardest thing in business is to still be there 5 years from now. Half of all businesses die in the first 5 years. But there is a problem more quiet than bankruptcy: When it gets boring. You buy the domain. You start designing the logo. You start reaching out to clients. You start outlining your brand vision. But the moment it gets boring, and results slow down, you quit. You might be the aspiring entrepreneur or creator who started multiple business ideas or multiple attempts to post...

If you have ADHD like me, you know how quickly you abandon a business idea. It feels exciting at first. Dopamine, curiosity and novelty rush into your brain, and you want to act immediately. And you do. You buy a domain for 14$ per year. You start designing a logo with ChatGPT. You think about a suitable name for your business. You start posting the first pieces of content. Maybe even an entire week. And then you stop. The moment it gets boring and your brain doesn’t get any new stimulation,...

First of all: Happy Birthday, Dad! Today would be your 72nd birthday. I hope you are doing well, celebrating and eating a lot of cake in heaven with the other uncles and aunties who have passed away in recent years. I know that your death was freeing you from all of the pain you were suffering, physically and emotionally. I just wish you were still alive when I marry the love of my life. (Whenever this is going to happen) “I am just holding back my tears while being in a co-working space...

In December 2023, I got the message from my sister: “Dad has less than a week to live” I packed my suitcase, booked a ticket home, drove to the airport and I was up in the air. But the moment my sister picked me up from the airport and came out crying, I knew I was too late. Unfortunately, my dad had passed away 18 hours earlier. My life turned by 180 degrees. Not only did I lose my dad, but I had no foundation built at the time; I was fully on my own. I had no dad. No business at this time....

ADHD was never the problem. The “science” was. “Before blaming me, please read at least half of it, to form an opinion. It might change the view on your ADHD.” You were probably like me in school: The one who was loud. The one who couldn’t focus. The one who was the burden for the teachers. You were never able to just finish the task. You were never able to just focus. You were never able to sit still. That was my entire school time in a nutshell. I was the kid “who was special”, in a bad...

You've read the books. Watched the videos. Highlighted the passages and saved the reels. And you're still here. Same apartment. Same job. Same version of yourself you swore you'd leave behind six months ago. Every month that passes, the gap between where you are and where you want to be widens. You feel it in the low energy that follows you through the afternoon, the fog that settles in right when you finally sit down to do the thing that matters. The shame of being too tired to focus and too...

For 23 years of my life, I struggled to focus. I had horrible grades in school, I repeated a grade, and I even failed my final school exams. This left me without a degree and an additional internship to get my school degree. Technically, I finished school with 20, rather than 18. Everyone in school always thought that most of my energy went to my muscles rather than my brain, simply because of my bad grades. And I think I am not the only ADHD person who experiences things like that. After...

I was the guy who always had everything under control. Until I didn’t. For 24 years, everything I did always kinda worked out and went smoothly enough, I would say. I travelled to over 30 countries, ran a photography business that paid me 100€ per hour, had a startup with 21 that made 300.000€ in revenue in the first year, consulted a Swiss startup afterwards and got paid 50€ per hour to build systems in front of a computer. At the end, I moved to Bali in 2023. (I am half Chindo. That’s...
