Newsletter #18 - Sixpack-Story Manifesto Overweight is the disease of today. Cardiovascular issues the resulting problem. A healthy lifestyle the challenge of the future. It seems very few people are able to tackle health problems, especially weight loss, themselves. I personally suffer from a high cholesterol and find it challenging to get it down based on diet only. We are bombarded with fatty, salty, sugary foods and caffeinated, alcoholic drinks in advertising, supermarkets, restaurants, social events, work, ... Discipline and good intentions alone don’t seem work. And the world is continuously trying to get you off the right path. Habits and routines provide a solution. Being supported by people who have the same goals as you could be a game changer. That’s why I want to launch Sixpack-story, a community for founders, freelancers and techies working on their health. While the sixpack is the signpost, the community goals could represent much more: the ability to do a handstand, elbow lever or a backflip. Running a marathon, or going for the Iron Man. What kind of solutions should this community offer:
Sixpacks are typically associated with fitness gurus and bodybuilders. They should be an achievable goal for entrepreneurs, freelancers and developers And everyone else by extension, but let's not try to boil the ocean! I’ll start upon sending this email, and I’ll give myself 31 days to see if we get any traction. As a first quality gate. Wish me luck! |

I’m still doing projects, I have 2 current clients - albeit one dormant - and 1 new client in Amsterdam from Wednesday onwards The plan is to grow this. To grow more clients, and get more projects, and have more people do the work...
Newsletter #68 - More Turmoil! The end of April was the deadline I set myself to find a freelance rol. It colminated in a quite dramatic nogo on the Unilever freelance role, and a first Upwork project I would start searching for employee roles from May 1st onwards The Upwork project gives the opportunity to postpone just a little longer I need to find another project - can't bet on one horse - either on Upwork, but preferably via other channels. Upwork is where I compete with others. Doing...
Newsletter #67 - Turmoil! I was pushing back my April newsletter, because a professional change was upon me I'm not sure why that means I have to push back writing? Excitement, Anticipation, Busy-ness? Anyway, the change didn't materialise A very promising interview for a freelance role at Unilever ended in ... The role being withdrawn for Juristic Reasons Whatever that may mean I don't know, and it's frustrating to not get clear responses, but by now I'm smarter than trying to keep digging:...
