Life mission: to be able to help anyone in 5 minutes, now and 300+ years after I’m gone. Now building: a text-based personal brand agency for founders and executives. Why? I fundamentally believe the world would be a better place if people have more autonomy (personal brand). I want the best stories of (wo)men in the "arena" told and told well. Passionate and skilled writers ensure these people (and their work) get the attention they deserve. This startup is part of my self-designed Empowering MBA, in which I build 18 startups in 18 months. I believe the world would be a better place if everyone would (and could) pursue their calling. I work to make that a reality. ---- Me in 30 seconds ---- After business school I planned to become a professional football/soccer coach. I joined a startup instead, helped grow it to 25 people before having to fire half of them. I moved to rural Japan to join a corporate incubator, couldn’t handle the bureaucracy and quit after 2.5 years to start my own thing. Then I drop-shipped, day-traded, consulted startups, did digital marketing for local businesses, and coached young people and small businesses. Along the way, I found my calling. I call it Empower: to be able to help anyone in 5 minutes, now and 300+ years after I’m gone. I spend my time reading, learning, writing and building empowering startups. (With some coaching on the side.) Dutch native turned global citizen, I now live in central Japan. ---- What I’m working on ---- Empowering MBA – I’m launching 18 startups in 18 months. Currently building – A text-based personal brand agency for founders and executives. (Growing my mom’s real estate agency on the side. Out of love.) ---- Contact me? ---- Coaching, collaboration, speaking or interview request? - Schedule a call here: https://cal.com/jimbouman/ Anything else? - Email or DM me.
