Hi,

Every quarter, I block the dates 📅, pack the mindset 🧠, and show up at Bloom Quarterly 🚀

Because this isn’t just another learning event for Master Coaches—it’s where I go to sharpen my edge.

Coaches don’t come here to take notes.

We come to upgrade our frameworks, challenge our blind spots, and leave with tools that actually move the needle for founders.

In this room, the sharpeners get sharpened. The noise fades. The clarity hits. And the playbook gets tighter.

Because if I’m not growing—I’ve got no business helping others scale.

Here's some Inner Game wisdom to chew on this week

1 question

Nearly everything in life has a useful zone, a desired dose. Ten minutes in the sun can energize you. Ten hours can burn you. This concept applies to many things: work, relationships, hobbies, exercise, food.

Where are you overdosing on? (​Click to Tweet​)

2 questions (and answers from me)

1. How do you handle failure as an entrepreneur? You don’t. You learn from it, adapt, and keep going. Failure is data—it tells you what doesn’t work so you can get closer to what does. (​Click to Tweet​)

   
   

2. What’s the fastest way to kill a business idea? Keep it a secret. You’ve got to get feedback early, or you’ll build something nobody wants. (​Click to Tweet​)​

3 insights from me

1. If you want to be happy, you must be present, to be present, you must be honest at all times. (​Click to Tweet​)

   
   

2. Your self-esteem hinges on your actions—avoid moral slips, as they’ll erode your self-respect and linger in your psyche. (​Click to Tweet​)

   
   

3. As humans, we can be really tough on ourselves. Be your toughest critic only if you are your greatest ally. (​Click to Tweet​)

Breaking the Cycle: From Burnout to Inner Game Mastery

Here’s the deal: In 2012, burnout wrecked me. 😩

My health collapsed—I was down to 61 Kg—and my mental game was a mess.

I spiraled into behavioral addictions, and one bad decision toppled everything.

On the outside, I was a high-functioning overachiever. 👔

Inside? Total chaos, anxiety, and existential dread. 😰

I dug deep, did the work, and found tools to transform.

But now, I see this same struggle everywhere: stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are crushing entrepreneurs.

That’s when it clicked. I needed to change the conversation about the pressure entrepreneurs face and how to live a life worth living. 💭

Because, truth is, many of us are addicted to stress. 😵‍💫

Even the most successful people I know feel empty, numb, and stuck in a cycle they think is normal. But it’s not.

So, I built the Inner Game Blueprint—a game-changer to break that cycle and help entrepreneurs live better. 🛠️

Now, let me ask:

What are you innovating? 💡

What challenges are you tackling? 🥊

What’s your game-changer? 💥

💯 The real career goal? Waking up and doing whatever you want, without feeling the need to post about it. Build skills, multiply your impact, disappear. 🚀

🏀 Facts. By the time you call the play, half the team’s already running in the wrong direction.

Here’s a rundown of some cool stuff I’ve been diving into this week.
