Blog post7 min read The word, “coach” has been around since the 1800s and was used for private tutors. Eventually, coaches became dominant in sports. But in recent decades, coaching applies to almost every field. Because it’s a relatively new phenomenon, there are a lot of questions and challenges around coaching.
In this guide, I’ll address the most common questions and challenges with hiring a coach. By the end of this guide, I hope you know what a coach does, whether you should work with o6 days ago Read more -
Blog post3 min read When I started my first business ten years ago, I remember many internet marketers were selling Google ads courses and books. They made it look like everyone could become a millionaire by slapping up some Google ads.
You just had to follow their tactics. That was all! Sweet deal, right?
Well, here’s what happened behind the scenes. While those internet marketers were selling products about Google ads, they were doubling down on Facebook ads.

Blog post13 min read I used to be very bad when it came to personal finance. I didn’t even use a savings account until my late twenties. Sure, I had one, but I just left all the cash I had in my checking account.
That’s the best strategy for going broke. You either spend your money on crap, or you get lured in by speculative investments like Bitcoin, Gamestop, silver, cannabis companies, or whatever CNBC and the r/wallstreetbets guys talk about (yes, I actually used these opposites in the sam2 weeks ago Read more -
Blog post9 min read There are so many financial opportunities in the world. And it seems like millions of people are getting rich without much effort by simply buying Bitcoin, Gamestop stocks, or you name it. Every week, there’s another story about how some asset shot up triple digits in a short amount of time.
Those are outliers, and the truth is that most of us will never ride one of those waves that turn a few grand into a million dollars in less than a year. But that doesn’t mean yo3 weeks ago Read more -
Blog post3 min read If you become a listener, I guarantee you will become a better writer by simply becoming more aware of your surroundings.
Writing is only 10% execution. The rest of it is strategy. And one big part of writing strategy is listening. Too many writers are focused on the wrong things.
When I started, I spent a lot of time looking at what other writers did. I looked at their websites, social media, and the stuff they wrote about. If I wasn’t doing that, I was probably l1 month ago Read more

I know something about you without knowing you. I bet you spend A LOT of time in your head. You know, thinking, worrying, stressing, freaking out -- call it whatever you want. I call it a preoccupied mind. And with what?
99% of your thoughts are useless. William James, once the leading psychologist in America, and one of the founders of the philosophical school of pragmatism, put it best:
"A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices."
Pragmatism believes that the mind is a tool. Your mind should work for you, not against you. People who don't master their mind, don't believe it's possible.
They say: "I can't help but thinking these things."
Well, you can TAKE CONTROL of your mind with enough practice. I've done it. And in THINK STRAIGHT, I share exactly how. It's a quick read and you can use it to immediately to improve your thinking.
You have the ability to decide what you think. Or, you can choose NOT to think.
And that is one of the most important and most practical things you can learn in life. Before I learned that skill, I would spend hours and hours inside my head. Just think about how much you think.
- "I wonder what my boss thinks?"
- "What happens if I screw up and lose my job?"
- "What if my business never takes off?"
- "Does she love me?"
- "Why does my life suck?"
- "What if I get cancer?"
- "I can't finish anything. What's wrong with me?
And the list goes on.
THINK STRAIGHT reveals the recipe for taking control of your mind so you can improve your life, career, relationships, business.
I wrote this little book in a way that you can read it more than once. And I hope that this book serves as an anchor to you--especially during trying times.
The mind is the most powerful tool on earth. Change the way you think. And you'll change your life.
Are you also tired of putting off your dreams until “tomorrow?” Guess what! Tomorrow never comes. Am I right?
I’ve procrastinated and putt off my desire to write a book for a decade. I always came up with excuses like, “it’s not the right time.” Or, “I need to do more research.”
But in 2015 I got tired of this endless procrastination, and finally took action. Six months later, my first book was published.
Look, we all have limited time on our hands. And we’re getting closer to death every single minute. That shouldn’t scare. That should motivate you!
Time is limited, that’s why we must do the things we want: Today.
In this “best of” collection, I’ve handpicked 30 of my best articles that help you to overcome procrastination, improve your productivity, and achieve all the things you always wanted.
Plus, I’ve written an extensive introduction about my life and work philosophy.
And I’ve made many improvements and edits to the articles. So the content of this book is different from the articles on my site.
In Do It Today, you’ll learn:
1.Why we procrastinate and how we can overcome it
2.How to increase your productivity without being stressful
3.How to achieve more meaningful things in your life so you can enjoy it more
Are you ready to start reading this book?
If so: Do it today—not tomorrow.
Do you want to change your career? Start a business? Stop losing sleep over a deadline? End your relationship? Or maybe, just live a fulfilling life? Everyone has goals and ambitions in life. But we often don't pursue our inner desires because of one thing: Fear and a lack of self-confidence.
In Win Your Inner Battles, I will show you how to destroy fear and live your life with a sense of purpose.
You’ll learn how to:
- Conquer fear
- Improve self-confidence
- Stop worrying
- And live life on YOUR terms
I wrote this book based on my own experiences. No matter how bad your situation is, there is always a way out.
“Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
This book is for people who also believe personal freedom is the most important thing in life.
In our free world, we can do what want, spend time with people we like, and have a career that gives us joy. And yet, we don’t use our freedom. Why is that?
The problem is that we’re held captive by ourselves. On a deeper level, we all strive for the same thing: To be free. It’s in our nature.
Every human has the desire and the need to be free. What It Takes To Be Free will lead you on the path to personal freedom. It’s a highly practical guide that’s based on timeless wisdom and personal experience.
You’re the ruler of your own kingdom. You can do anything you want, spend time with people you like, and have a career that you love. If you’re willing to do what it takes, you will be free to do those things.
Welcome to the age of remote work. Technology gave you and me the opportunity of a lifetime. No more commuting. No more time-wasting. No more annoying meetings.
This collection of articles shows you how to be highly productive no matter where you work. You can work from home, your bedroom, hotel room, bedroom, guest room, or any other private space into your primary workspace. Remote work leads to better output, higher work satisfaction, and more free time.
But remote work is not easy. It requires a system. When you work at home, you’re your own boss. That means you must adopt a “work first” mindset.
In this “best of” collection, I’ve handpicked my best articles that show you how to:
1. Form the mindset you need to get things done from home
2. Improve your productivity with proven techniques
3. Manage and improve yourself
When you adopt the ideas, strategies, and habits that I share in this collection, you can take on any work-related challenge that life throws at you. You no longer wish that you had a perfect office or the best resources in the world, you will be highly productive with what you have. Wherever you are.
Ik mag je weliswaar niet kennen, maar toch weet ik iets over jou. Ik durf te wedden dat je CONSTANT vast zit in je eigen hoofd. Je kent het wel; denken, stressen, flippen etc. Je mag dit noemen wat je maar wilt – ik noem het “verloren in je eigen gedachten.” En waarom?
99% van onze gedachten zijn namelijk nutteloos. William James, eens prominent psycholoog in Amerika, en een van grondleggers van de filosofische stroming Pragmatisme, zei het al:
"A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices."
Het Pragmatisme ziet het brein als gereedschap dat in je voordeel werkt; je hoort niet belemmert te worden door je brein.
In tegenstelling tot wat velen geloven kan je CONTROLE over je geest krijgen met genoeg oefening. Ik heb het zelf gedaan. En in Denk Praktisch! deel ik exact hoe ik dit heb bereikt. Het is geschreven op een vlotte manier en je kunt het meteen gebruiken om je denkwijze te verbeteren.
Bovendien schreef ik dit compacte boek op een manier zodat je het meer dan één keer kan lezen. En ik hoop dat dit boek als een anker voor je kan zijn, waarnaar je in de moeilijkere periodes grijpt.
Verander je gedachten, verander je leven.
