30 Posts In 30 Days - Day 25: One Person Business

This is Day 25 of the 30 Posts In 30 Days Challenge I set for myself to start writing online. This post was originally published on X.

“You have a $100,000 product in your head.”

It was at the end of 2022 when I first stumbled upon that sentence, while aimlessly browsing through the web.

It was the title of the latest article from a blog by a guy called Dan Koe (you might have heard of him).

His take on how to turn knowledge into a business, and how we all have it in our heads already, really resonated with me.

To put it mildly.

At this point, I’ve been working for myself for about 7.5 years.

That’s a long time.

I took that step way earlier in my life than most people probably do.

And I’m really glad I did, even though I didn’t know what I was doing back then.

I had everything I needed.

Over the years I was able to build a career around my desired lifestyle.

This gave me the freedom I was always looking for.

And in a way, I felt like, “I made it”.

I neglected it for too long until I wasn’t able to ignore it any longer.

I realized that I felt stuck.

I’m not sure if I have grown too comfortable, too scared, or too distracted to make a change in my life for so long.

Until I read that article.

Dan’s ideas gave me a completely new perspective

Not just on business but on life in general.

I didn’t realize back then that this was the beginning of a long and thorough transformation.

So far it’s been a long and hard journey and I’m still in the middle of it.

But nothing worth having comes easy.

It’s a relief to know that I’m not alone.

We’re all in this together.

And it’s good to have you on my side!
