That's me

My Story

After more than 26 years in the corporate world, during which I worked my way through all the ups and downs of leadership, I decided: Now is the time to start something new - to go my own way and freely realize my ideas. And so this blog was born, a platform on which I want to share my journey to self-employment, my projects and everything that is important to me with you.

You might be wondering why someone who has worked for large corporations for so long suddenly dares to take the step into self-employment. The answer is simple: because it's fun! I wanted to get out of the 9-to-5 and into a life full of freedom, creativity and self-determination. Today I work on projects that are really close to my heart and I can implement my visions in the way I see fit.

One of these heartfelt projects is 'Holz vor der Hütte' - a platform for everyone who wants to source firewood sustainably and locally. The idea came to me because I was once looking for a regional wood supplier and realized how difficult that can be. So I thought to myself: why not create a platform that solves exactly this problem? It's fun to develop something that not only helps me, but also others - and that's exactly what I'm looking for in my self-employment.

Another exciting project is property management, which I am setting up together with a partner in Germany. We want to manage properties sustainably and with modern customer service that maintains the value of the properties - or even increases them. Because let's be honest: who said that property management has to be boring? It's all about thinking about things differently and doing things better.

And then there is my coaching and consulting project. After so many years in leadership and management, I want to pass on my knowledge and support people who want to set something up themselves or who want to develop their careers. I am particularly looking forward to working with Purpose Punks and MindDriven - I'm already itching to work together on exciting projects and bring about real change.

This blog is my personal adventure diary. Here I share my successes, my setbacks and the little lessons I learn along the way. It's not just about what I do, but also how I grow and what I take away from it. And who knows - maybe this will inspire you to pursue your own dreams and go your own way.

So, grab a cup of coffee (or tea, whatever you prefer) and join me on this journey. I'm glad you're here and hope my stories make you think, smile, or maybe even take action. Welcome to my blog!
