How it (not) started
After finishing my studies I had no desire whatsoever to start working for myself, to be an entrepreneur. I had successfully completed an IT-education and back then in the '80s, IT was the big deal, the future, the place to be. I had a nice, varied job and enjoyed mutual respect between myself and my employer, resulting in a fair exchange of my time and my talents for their money. But times changed, true management got replaced by shareholders. By default, these are not at all interested in the company, the employees, the customers or the business. They just want, at all cost, fill their abysmal bank accounts at the expense of someone else's energy and effort. Leadership was no longer based on trust but on fear. The fear to lose your job and your income.
So I left voluntarily and for a long time kept searching for a new EDS (that was the name of the company). Just as long until I finally realized that I would never find it because I was looking for a shadow, a time-ghost which would never return.

How plan "Z" turned into plan "A"
The securities of thirty years ago became the insecurities of today. Employment for an indefinite period is replaced by temporary contracts, permanent employees by interim projects, extra-legal benefits disappear, unemployment benefits become less and less, work obligation recently changed to 67 years of age, hoping that physically you'll still be able to enjoy your retirement ... preferably with a pension that can still be paid and so on.
That is why I recently understood there is only one solution to secure financial freedom: take matters into my own hands and work to build an independent and preferably residual income!
My income currently is still dependent on an employer, but that is not a goal, more like a means. As you read elsewhere on this site I decided to give my spare time passion for writing more sense, more meaning.
My wife and I also put energy in building our own, international business, in a partnership with Jeunesse, a Health & Wellness company, which chose Netwerk Marketing as the way to distribute their products worldwide.
