Last Sunday it was 3,285 days (or 9 years) since I took the leap into self-employment \ud83e\udd73…
\nNot that I quite understand where the time has gone, but it must be because I have found fulfillment in what I do.
\nIt’s been 3,285 days of personal and professional “education” that I can’t imagine I could have gotten anywhere else \ud83c\udf31…
\nAnd it has been 3,285 opportunities to meet and be inspired by amazing people, and I am so happy and grateful for each and everyone I have met along the way \ud83d\ude4f <\/h4>\n

Over 70 companies have trusted me to inspire and guide them on their journey to unlock potential and optimize the environment they work in every day.
\nI’m grateful and humbled – and quite proud \ud83c\udf3f <\/p>\n

Having the opportunity to contribute with my knowledge and philosophy and be a small part of their development is an amazing feeling and I am by no means “done or full”.
\nThere’s so much potential out there that I’m excited to help unlock \ud83d\udca5…
\nI have a feeling that there is much more in me and that the time we are in right now, more than ever before, speaks for us to put “well-being before profit” in our approach to our own lives, management and development of our companies. <\/p>\n

When I turned 7 years self-employed, I wrote an article with 5 pieces of advice that I wish I had given myself when I started.
\nI (thankfully) still very much agree with them (you can read along here if you’re curious<\/u><\/a> \ud83d\udc47) <\/p>\n

If I were to add a few new ones, so be it:<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\u25aa\ufe0f Gratitude does it all – even on the toughest days, there is something to be grateful for and it’s a unique emotion that helps you get back on track.<\/p>\n

\u25aa\ufe0f Let curiosity be open on your path – and remember that it can also be your enemy and lead you astray.<\/p>\n

\u25aa\ufe0f Recognize that the more knowledge and insight you gain, the more you find out that you don’t know and that there is always new, exciting knowledge and perspectives ahead.<\/p>\n

It is therefore only with even greater joy, expectations and energy that I look forward to the next 3,285 days ahead \u2728<\/p>\n
