Hi, welcome to my LinkedIn page. 

Who am I? A corporate director turned into a corporate consultant turned into a business mentor for consultants. It took me 20+ years to get where I am today.

I believe that entrepreneurship is the greatest force for change on the planet. And I am a strong advocate for female entrepreneurship.

Passionate about helping other female solopreneurs - like you - earn a lot more money with their expertise. Because you deserve it. Because the world will be a better place as a consequence of it.

This is why I founded Expert Success Academy, whose mission is to turn experts in their field into real expert business owners.

Founder, Mentor & Coach

eSuccess Academy transforms great experts into successful expert business owners. How? Through transformational programs that help you to monetize your expertise, uplevel your mind for success, and remodel your business to have more impact with less work.

Strategy VS Implementation

I am a big planner.

I have finished my calendar for the next year.
I like to have it all planned out.

I used to be a travel guide as my side job when at Uni. And I know from that time on, what is well planned has an exponentially HIGHER chance of running as we wish it would. 

But I used to be also somebody who delayed the execution and was in constant planning mode, as it felt safer. Paralysis by analysis was my thing.

Nowadays, strategic planning takes me 1 week,
and execution of the plan takes 51 weeks.

Knowing both sides, I see clearly
Failure is the consequence of being in one extreme or another.

Don’t hide behind planning, as I did for a long time; 
But also don’t underestimate the planning.

Imagine working the whole year on the things that will not bring you the results you desire. What a waste of time, energy & money!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬.

If they are not the right ones for you:
no matter how nice your planning tool looks,
no matter how hard you work,
You won't reach the destination.

Therefore, having a solid plan is 50% of success.
Even if it takes just a tiny part of your calendar.

Would you like to get your strategies reviewed?
To increase your chance of reaching your goals exponentially?

Or do you want to bet and hope?

Typically, experts come to me because they are tired of trying hundreds of different strategies & tactics that are available on the market. They want to get PERSONALIZED answers instead of being pulled in different directions by marketers, all selling the "best" solution. It's not only tiring, but it's costly in terms of money and time and also emotionally draining.

We help "starting experts" to get their first paying clients, and we also support more advanced experts to leverage & automize their marketing so that they can concentrate on areas of their business that they love the most. 

If any of the above resonates with you and if you are also ready to find out YOUR AUTHENTIC WAY TO MARKET & SELL your services or GROW YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT WORKING MORE, let's talk.

On the first short DISCOVERY CALL, we will get to know each other, and I will advise you - based on your aspiration and current situation - on the best next steps FOR YOU, RIGHT NOW.

Business Mentor helping consultants, executive coaches, corporate trainers, & B2B experts grow their businesses faster 🚀, easier 🪶, and more enjoyable 😀, thanks to my holistic 3S approach: strategies, skills, & self

I was planning to fail.
I just didn't know it yet.

For months, I was offering 2-day corporate training at € 2K.
On paper, it looks nice to be earning that much in a day.

But these days were rare.

I sat down and did the math.

To hit € 100K a year?
I'd need 50 clients.

Not to mention that I would need to deliver every single week.
Without breaks. 

The numbers don't lie
My model was flawed

This business model was designed to burn me out
before I ever reached my goals.

I wasn't building a sustainable business.
I was building a trap.

You can be living the same story with your coaching packages.
Or with your service priced too low.

What helped me to flip it?

I did the proper planning.
I looked at my capacity. My energy. And my desires.

I realized I want 5 clients, not 50.
I want to offer a deeper transformation to a few,
Instead of a constant client search and selling.

I asked myself, "What do I need to charge to build the business I want?"
The answer? € 10K minimum per client

Suddenly, I needed 10 clients instead of 50.
Suddenly, I had space to deliver exceptional results.
Suddenly, my business made sense.

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail."
It's true.

But you cannot plan without having a sustainable business model
That starts with an offer that will make your revenue goal a reality,
even if charging more feels uncomfortable first,

But what is the alternative?

Failure? Burnout? Closing a business that never took off?

I spent years figuring this out through trial and error.
You don't have to.

I review business strategies for female experts who want to reach their goals sustainably without burning out. If you want a second pair of eyes on your model before you lose another year, send me a DM.

Do you like to play games? I do 😍

Everybody would say that the goal is to win,
BUT the hidden goal is to have FUN.

And if you need a reminder like I do:
Business is a game ⛳️

And by this saying I don't mean - don't take it seriously.
I do take serious my chess or poker :-)

At the same time, let's not forget the fun!

And to have fun, there are 2 things that we need:
👉 To be surrounded by people we like & trust
👉 Understand the rules of the game

Are you with me?

Because here's what happens when you don't know the rules:
You make moves that feel right.
But nothing works the way you expected.
It's confusing. It's overwhelming.

And suddenly, 100K goal feels impossible.
You're not having fun anymore. You're just surviving.

The truth about reaching your first 5 figures a month:
It's not about reinventing the wheel.

It's about choosing ONE proven path and following it.

Many paths work.
Different strategies. Different approaches.
All of them can get you there.

But you need to pick ONE. Choose wisely.
Learn its rules. Master its game.

❌ Stop jumping between strategies.
❌ Stop trying to create your own rules before you understand the existing ones.

✅ Choose your path. Learn the rules. Play the game.

That's how you reach your goals. And actually enjoy the journey.

Have a nice playful weekend!

P.S. You have my 👀 on your biz to see if your strategies are aligned.
Complimentary in January :-)

Your input is appreciated 🙏

I am preparing a live event for experts and
I would love to know which topic speaks to you the most

1. Art & Science of Goal Planning & Achieving

2. Your €200K Offer Suite

3. Discover Your Unique Value Proposition

4. Position Yourself As An Authority & Sell With Ease

You are not for everybody.
So, why are you not able to say NO?

I see this pattern with so many talented experts ⬇︎

They take on clients who aren't the right fit.
They say yes to projects that drain them.
They accept opportunities that pull them away from their zone of genius.

Here's what I know:

When you start your solopreneur journey
➥saying YES to everything makes sense.
You're learning. Testing. Finding your way.

But there comes a point when you need to specialize.
Choose your people and their BIG problem you want to solve.
Narrow. Focus.


Why? For multiple reasons:

👉 To sustain the multitude of tasks as a solopreneur.
You're only one person. Your time, energy, and attention are limited.

👉 To be truly great at what you do.
And deliver extraordinary.

👉 To become an Authority in your space.
It can only happen if your brand is clearly associated with WHO WHAT & HOW

👉 To pierce through the noise like an icebreaker through ice.
When your message speaks to your target audience, they listen.



This laser-focused approach requires saying NO.
No to clients, opportunities, and learning that are not fit.

So, why do experts keep saying yes when they should say no?

Maybe they don't know what I have just explained.
It took me years to get it.

Or maybe it is a FEAR
Fear that the right client won't come.

There's an old saying: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Meaning - we were programmed from our young age to play for safety

It doesn't need to stay this way.

You can build predictability & sustainability into your business.
And you won't need to grab every bird that flies by.

Here's how it works:

It's a flywheel with three components working together:

1. The more you specialize → the better you get at serving your ideal client

Better client results create:
• Stronger proof and testimonials
• Higher retention and referrals
• Easier sales conversations

2. Choosing your segment → enables a proactive approach

Clear positioning creates:
• More targeted messaging
• Better lead generation
• A predictable sales system

3. Both together → strengthen your brand

When you combine specialization with the right segment:
• You attract dream clients consistently
• You command premium prices
• You build momentum that compounds

And the cycle accelerates.

Yes, you'll work harder in the beginning.
Building systems takes effort.
Saying no feels uncomfortable at first.

But once the flywheel starts spinning, everything gets easier.

Each no to the wrong fit slows your momentum.
Each yes to the right client makes the next one easier to attract.

How good are you at saying NO?
