Track I: How are you charged as a person and founder

As long as you don’t operate at your full potential as a person and fonder your business won’t either. In this track we undertake the inner journey to discover your full potential and what is holding you back. After this track, you will have all you need in place to fuel the fundament of your business, the one that will last. 

The power of inner conflict

Neglected conflicts that were built up over the years are (unconsciously and unwillingly) outsourced towards the business or relationships with significant others. 

This neglect often results in defense mechanisms like ignoring or outbursting, withdrawing yourself, ‘building walls’, or splitting the image in how you show up on the outside and feel on the inside. 

These mechanisms have the goal to keep you ‘safe’ from difficult emotions, but in fact, they result in behavior that is fueled by high-pressure energy. 

Without a doubt this energy will manifest in every detail of your life; for example, the way you look at things, how you react to daily triggers, how your emotions show up, how you communicate with others, in what manner you take accountability for your own actions and how you consolidate. 

In short: they show the bigger picture of you as a person and founder.

Are you in charge?

The least understood factor that determines the biggest part of the success of a business is the personality of its founder. Most founders suffer from mental health issues.

A UC Berkeley study found that 72 % of entrepreneurs reported mental and emotional problems, while a U.S. study showed that almost 50% of entrepreneurs come from a home where at least one parent suffers from a psychological disorder. Several studies report that founders were 10 times more likely to suffer from depression disorders, 6 times more likely to have ADHD, and 3 times more likely to suffer from addiction and depression. 

Founders self-report: lying awake at night (90%), tending to avoid conflict (65%), feeling burnout (64%), experiencing anxiety (59%) or suffering from substance abuse (14%). All these energies are deeply impacting the people around them and the course of the business

Dare to untangle what is keeping you chained

In this track, we use two highly structured and proven body psychodynamic  & language methods. The first is all about the wisdom of the body that will answer the themes you will see in the deck below. 

The second method allows you to enter the gateway to your ancestral inheritance.  Who we are today is significantly related to the ones who came before us. Imagine how we can impact the ones who will succeed us. This deep dive is based on the groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations (by Mark Wolynn).

Both methods provoke you to untangle your most important conflicts and fears. It will manifest the treasure that you seek: your true and infinite source. 

This is the fundamental ingredient in how you build and run your business and relations, to last.

In order to move forward you need to let go

In the end: the founders who were brave enough to face their inner conflicts are the most successful. Deciding to take the inner journey made them more humble and open to others; they were able to letting go and move forward.

Founders that face inner conflicts are significantly decisive in initiating and facilitating the future success of the business (Collins and Poras, Good to Great).

In this track, we will identify and unravel this inner conflict and discover the unique ability of the founder that lives underneath. This is the main ingredient to move forward to Track 2: Validate Your Visionary Business Model.
