Where did you learn this from? Would you give me advice if I would like to start my own activities?

Life is constantly touching us. We see or learn what is meaningful to you. Look for “what works” or ask “why?” What are the principles at work?

What can enable you to express the best of who you are? What your value expresses is the best value you create for others.

What if studying feels like working? Should you drop out and find something else to do?

First: Value who you are and what you like. Appreciate and enjoy all that you are.

Ask: How can what I am studying enable me offer my value? The study time is very short.

How to Find My Passion and Love February 27, 2007

How will I find my passion? My joy and my love?

Your passion/joy/love is already within you. Ask: what am I doing/thinking/believing that is stopping me from experiencing my passion/joy/love?

It is not what you do that guides your passion and joy. Express your love and you will experience love. Express joy and you will experience joy. Express passion and you will experience passion.

How do I go about to find my true passion, my joy, my true purpose? I am seriously building up my life. How do I find my purpose? How do I best improve the world?

Look within. What triggers that passion? Ask: What do you express that activates that passion and joy? Improve the world by adding your value in the world.

If my first plan with my studies does not get me where I feel happy then my hobbies give me a back up plan and it is never too late to change my plan. I have things that I love but I feel none of them are something I am good enough in to make it into my future. What should I do now?

You are good enough by just being you. Your future is now. Be your best self now. Don’t wait. All your life was a preparation of this moment. It’s not about hobbies. It is about expressing the best of you – your highest value.

I do what I like but I would need to do my master’s thesis to get further in life. How to motivate myself? Maybe motivation comes when I know what work I love.

By completing your master’s thesis what opportunities can this open to you that you value/enjoy?

Motivation comes when you know what value you wish to create in the world.

A Proven Way to Get the Job February 15, 2007

When you go to the job interview take with you your proposal. Call it “How I Will Create Value For X Y Z Ltd in the role of [the job you are applying for]” One A4 sheet. No more.

Employers only wish to employ people because they can enable their organisation to better achieve its objectives, i.e. public Sector: create value effectively for “customers”; private Sector: create value effectively “customers” and the organisation (= profit; increasing sales income and/or decreasing costs). Your Proposal explains how you will better enable the organisation to achieve its objectives.

Most other applicants will only supply their CV’s which is what is usually asked for. If you only supply your CV you are the same as the rest, who may have similar qualifications as you. Why should an employer choose you and not someone else? They need a reason. Your proposal gives them that reason.

The Proposal

State in your proposal:

Entrepreneurs and Burnout February 14, 2007

How can you deal with the entrepreneurship, which is taking whole time in your life? How can you find the joy and how can you get back the joy which you have lost? What do you think about entrepreneurs that burn out and stress? What helps?

You decide how much time entrepreneurship takes. Joy, the character in the story, did less on one thing and more of something else.

Joy is always within you. Ask: Why do I do what I do?

Entrepreneurs burn out trying to prove themselves. There is nothing to prove!

How to Discover Your Passion February 12, 2007

How to find the one thing you are so passionate that you can live in it for the rest of your life. How do you know this is the right thing?

First, what is the value you most enjoy creating? What positive changes do you wish to make in peoples lives? In what ways do you want others (the world) to be better? Your answer defines the value you would experience the most joy in creating. It defines, the maximum value you can and wish to create. Where you create your maximum value, is from where you can receive the maximum value (i.e. income; satisfaction).

Second, where are the opportunities that are already there or you can make for you to create your value? Which organisations would most like to offer the value you can create for the benefit of their staff and/or customers? Who would you like most to work with to co-create the value you wish to create?

Story of the two cleaning ladies who work cleaning a large office in New York who were overheard talking in a lift:

First, says “I have a horribly boring job. I am unhappy.”

The second says “I have a wonderful job. Every day I see and meet all these people walking in the corridors. Most seem so stressed. I smile at them and say hello. More and more of them are smiling back at me. Some say hello. Some stop and talk. Most slow down after they pass me. I think they maybe a little less stressed. I hope so. I feel I’m making a difference. I so enjoy my work.”

It is not the work you do, it is what you bring to your work; that is what makes the difference! And the difference is you!

What is Failure? February 9, 2007

According to your presentation, it is not possible to fail when following your joy? Did I get that right?

What is failure? The only real failure is not to fully use the abilities and natural strength, gifts you have to create value.

Giving and Receiving Value February 7, 2007

What is the incentive for an individual to implement value style instead of taking value-style?

You give two choices: Creating (add) value and taking value. Both work together.

If one only takes value and does not give value, that is robbery, exploitation or charity. Usually a short term, non-sustainable option.

If one only creates or adds value and does not take or receive value one dies. A short term, non-sustainable option. The optimum is to:

  • Create the highest value you can
  • Receive the highest value you need

The way to create your highest value is to make full use of all your value (i.e. who you are). The more value you create for others, the more value others wish to give to you.
