you don’t need more discipline. you need this:
Hey friend! A lot of people think the hardest part of achieving their goals is finding the perfect strategy. But the truth? The hardest part is sticking to your goals when life gets unpredictable. Right now, I’m traveling while running my business. Which means new places, new distractions, and no “perfect” routine to rely on. But you don’t need to be traveling to struggle with consistency—maybe your work schedule shifts constantly, your motivation comes in waves, or life just keeps throwing...
i almost quit this week
Hey friend! To be honest, this week I almost quit. I’ve committed to putting out one YouTube video per week, but this time, I struggled. Hard. I sat there, stuck, questioning myself: Am I even cut out for this? And in that struggle, I found something important. Something I wish I had understood years ago. Something I want to share with you today. Because I think it's super valuable. When It Feels Too Hard to Keep Going You probably know this feeling. That weight in your chest. That creeping...
why most routines fail
Hey friend, Every January, millions of people say,"This time, I’m going to stick to a routine." By February?Back to old habits. Maybe you’ve felt it before. You start strong, feeling motivated. But after a week or two, life gets in the way. Work piles up. You feel tired. One skipped habit turns into two… and suddenly, you’re back at square one. The worst part? You start to wonder if you’re just “not disciplined enough.” But here’s the truth: It has nothing to do with discipline. It’s about...
fear is your portal to growth
Hey friend, It took me three years to post my first YouTube video. Three years of overthinking. Of procrastinating. Of telling myself, “Maybe next month.” I knew I wanted to start, but every time I thought about posting that first video, this wave of inner resistance would hold me back like an anchor. It wasn’t laziness. It wasn’t a lack of ideas. It was something deeper. And that’s what I want to talk about today—because if you’ve ever felt that same resistance, whether it’s starting a...
why i sold a 7 figure business at 24.
Hey friend, I sold a 7-figure business at age 24—some of you may know, some may not. Sounds super cool, right? Like something you'd see on the cover of a founder magazine? Maybe. But the truth is, the story behind it runs much deeper. Today, I want to share why I actually walked away from it all. (I created a video about this story which you can watch here, if you prefer watching over reading.) Now let's start: Back in 2018, my brother and I launched an Amazon FBA business selling men’s care...
My first time on Product Hunt 👀
Hey friend! A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks—I’ve left snowy Switzerland for sunny Koh Phangan in Thailand (my third time here!), and I’m diving into a simpler, more focused way of living. Instead of juggling a million projects, I’m putting my focus on two things that truly light me up: YouTube: Documenting my life abroad & sharing the ups and downs of building a lifestyle business This newsletter: Because I love writing candidly about personal growth, purpose, and the lessons I...
early xmas gift from me 🎁
Hi friend! Can you believe it? Just 9 days until 2024 is in the books. This is the time to pause, look back, and celebrate the wins—the happy moments, the progress you made, and the things you achieved (trust me, there are more than you think!). But it’s also the time to look ahead and start setting the tone for the year to come. Now, don’t get me wrong: I’m not a fan of the classic “New Year’s resolutions” (because let’s be honest, a new date won’t magically cure procrastination, lol)....
i built a non-profit app 👀
I know, I know… - I haven’t sent out any value newsletter in the last 2 weeks. BUUUT: There is a good reason for that. I was working on a tool that will make it easier than ever …to break bad habits (like smoking or alcohol)… …and instead build good habits (like exercising or meditating)… The best thing? A lot of money will be collected by doing so & 100% of it goes to charity. „So where’s the catch“ you may ask? To be very honest: THERE IS NO CATCH. I just built this for fun & because I...
