Bio

In the last 8 years I Co-Founded 4 different recruitment businesses. The first business taught me how hard entrepreneurship actually is. The second almost bankrupted me. The third is now a global recruitment company spread over 3 continents. The fourth, though still small, has the potential to change people's life on every continent. Back in 2015 I knew nothing about entrepreneurship or the recruitment industry. I had no real network and struggled with 'being my own boss' for the first time. I had no real strategy. I was stuck in planning vs. doing. I made countless mistakes. I often felt lost what to focus on. But I loved (almost) every minute of it. I tried many different things and am now my third and fourth businesses are by many means successful. But the work is never done. Entrepreneurship is a never ending road of problem solving and working outside of your comfort zone. It's outside of this comfort zone that growth really happens. I am therefore on a mission to inspire people to get outside of their comfort zone. The first step is always the hardest. I therefore post daily on my entrepreneurship, business and my peronal life to inspire others to take that first step.
