The Trail Notes

Introducing “The Trail Notes” – Newsletter

Yesterday I shared with you the thoughts that guided my last 10 years.

I wanted to find the best way to start and lead a family.

Now that I’m blessed with my lovely wife and our son – it feels real.

While I was looking back, I found that I’m always surrounding three major topics.

I call them my BFFs – because it’s Business, Faith, and Family.

I love all three and focus on them since they’re all eternal games – I can’t win or achieve them.

So all that’s left to do is to keep playing all three until the day I die.

This is where you come in.

You are a brother to me on this road.

The journey ahead is one where we will walk together.

You’re probably a man, married with kids, looking to become the leader and Present Provider your family needs.

We have many things to learn.

In this Newsletter, you will get the notes of my journey.

Since it’s an email, you are invited to see the email as an invitation to chat.

You can answer to my thoughts, lessons, tips, and trials.

I’d love for us to share the journey.

We will mostly discuss business and family.

There are so many stories ahead.

I’m excited for you to join me on the road ahead.

To really keep the Newsletter personal – I’m actually writing it in my newsletter journal with a fountain pen.

Here is a picture of proof:

So that you see it’s a personal letter from me to you, sharing the notes from my trail to become the best Present Provider for my family – and helping you become the best Present Provider for your family, too!

Let’s grow together, my brother!

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless. It will get stronger and better, but it also feels like we’re losing more and more the human touch. I’m trying to figure out how to talk about business without touching the subject of AI. The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…

  • You Won’t Have Time “Someday”

    I’ve thought about this a lot. We often take our life and the time we have for granted. How often do I catch myself with a thought of:“Someday I’ll do this” or“When I have time, I’ll get to it.” Those are statements that make us feel good because we didn’t say no to it — and we still believe that we will get there. But the reality is: We don’t magically get more time. And we also don’t know how much time we have left in our life. My mom dreamed of retirement. Yet God has called her home by…
