If you think, StartupGeist is a little too“woo woo”, a little too spiritual, let me share something important with you.

StartupGeist isn’t for you, then. You shouldn’t follow it as a reader.

Personally, I will never ever say anything just that you like me.

I don’t even care if you like me.

I want you to have a good life, serve other people, eventually build businesses but I don’t want you to like me.

I want you to grow.

I want to learn from you as much as I do from others.

I believe in sharing our learnings and insights and ACT on them.

Hence, I want you to take the stuff I share, and reflect on it.

Share and Reflect

We should always ask ourselves how any advice serves us? We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Shouldn’t blindly follow.

If we see value, we should apply it.

After experiencing, tweaking and improve the advice, we should share our learning of how these changes even better fit our life’s situation.

Build On Each Other

And be assured that the stuff I share isn’t “my” stuff.

It has been shared and taught for many years and centuries — often times forgotten by the broader society, barely applied by anyone or only applied in certain parts of our beautiful world.

So — I promise that I will never ever share stuff I haven’t tried for myself.

I am always speaking from a place of experience.

Dismiss Our Bullshit Economy

I don’t want to add more bullshit to our bullshit economy where it certainly feels to me that everyone fakes it (until he makes it) and beyond — just because it’s how the world works.

I don’t accept this.

And again, sharing my experiences is really important for me.

It’s not theory, it’s practice, it’s my learnings and insights that I am willing to share with anyone who is interested in them. I share them openly as if I don’t have anything to loose. I don’t believe in secrets and lies.

So — Whom I am looking for?

I am looking for ambitious students and aspiring and young entrepreneurs. that want little guidance for their life, who want a balanced, healthy and happy life, and who want to design the life they want (mostly it means for me being self-employed to be free and financially independent, at first).

So let’s become unemployable. Let’s become entrepreneurs by practicing The Art and Science of Being Entrepreneurial.

Let’s choose ourselves. Let’s empower ourselves. Love ourselves. Let’s grow. Never stop growing. And Reflect to gain perspective. If needed, stop and nurture. Then continue.

Is there anything I don’t talk about?

Maybe my sex life or wild phantasies, maybe also this. Haha … Just kidding.

I believe in professional boundaries. Just because I am writing this blog you don’t need to know more about myself than my friends or my family does.

But I guess you eventually will as I will share a lot (ex my Burning Man experiences and why I think you should go there) but carefully define professional boundaries.

Please help me and give feedback.

How much you think someone should share?

Share your ❤ below — and respond with your thoughts.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Fearlessly love and build the life you truly deserve.
