<p>One of the best things about entrepreneurship is that you never stop learning. Since 1992 (!) I have fallen flat on my face more times than I can count, and had some very visible successes too. Occasionally both happened at once. Most of all, all those years have taught me to know myself extremely well.</p>
<p>In my enthusiasm to apply AI, I forgot one important rule in the previous Inspiration Shot: always check everything. Whether you work with people or with AI agents. Unfortunately a few links did not work properly, including the blog about magic in Peru and my posts about AI, relationships and KPIs. You can still read everything in <a href="https://estherjacobs.info/en/blog/ancient-wisdom-new-magic-inspiration-shot-may-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the previous Inspiration Shot</a>.</p>

<h2 style="color:#fff;margin:0;text-align:center;">The advice I give most often</h2>
</div>
<p>Many people who want to quit their job, who want to stop doing what they are doing now or who want to start something new, think they have to make a radical choice right away. Let everything go. Jump. Start over.</p>
<p>My advice is usually the exact opposite: do not burn all your ships behind you straight away.</p>
<p>Instead, build a bridge between where you are today and where you would like to be. Use what you already have: your experience, your network, your knowledge, your reputation and maybe your income for a little while longer. Test your new idea in or alongside your current work. Talk about it. Help someone. Try a small first offer. Pay attention to what sparks enthusiasm, both for you and for the people around you.</p>
<p>On Instagram I shared my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CeigPKwD3OO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&#038;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">8 steps to turn almost anything into a business</a>: look at what you already know or can do, find out who it is valuable for, solve a concrete problem, turn it into a simple offer, test it on a small scale, ask for feedback, talk about it and improve as you go.</p>
<p>That may sound less spectacular than “I quit everything and followed my dream”. Usually it is smarter, calmer and more sustainable. Entrepreneurship is not about having the perfect plan. It is about taking the next step.</p>

<h2 style="color:#fff;margin:0;text-align:center;">Keep reinventing yourself</h2>
</div>
<p>I am often surprised and honoured when people tell me they have been following me for years, some even for more than 25 years. During that time I have reinvented myself more times than I can count: from charities to speaker and author, from Expedition Robinson to the first Dutch digital nomad, and during Covid my work shifted almost completely online.</p>
<p>After a year sabbatical, I notice that I feel like connecting live again. Small groups, real conversations, sitting around a table together. That is why I am organising a few exclusive <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/ai-dag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">practical AI days at my home in Amsterdam</a>. The first one filled up almost immediately and there is one spot left for the second date. It seems people are looking for something different than yet another online course.</p>
<p>I am also playing with a new idea: walking in Cinque Terre for a few days with a small group of inspiring entrepreneurs. No conference room, no tight schedule. Just walking, talking, exchanging ideas and seeing where the conversations take us. Maybe after 34 years of entrepreneurship that is still what it is about: trying things, building as you go and adjusting along the way. Feel like joining? Let me know.</p>

<p>Entrepreneurship is one thing. Living as a digital nomad is another. Combining the two makes it even more interesting. How do you decide what matters most? Do you move quickly or stay put for a while? Which countries do you choose? What do you bring?</p>

<p>&#8230;I have never worked for a boss? I have been an entrepreneur for 34 years now and I have probably failed a hundred times. Looking back, I am actually quite grateful for that. Every mistake, setback and unexpected detour taught me something. Not just about business, but especially about myself.</p>
<p>We often expect leaders, entrepreneurs and well-known people to be good at everything: vision, numbers, communication, details, charisma, empathy, execution. Almost nobody is all of that at the same time.</p>
<p>That is why I spend my time almost exclusively on things that give me energy and where I can truly add value. I try to avoid, delegate or simply stop doing the rest as much as possible.</p>
<p>Maybe that is my most important entrepreneurship lesson: success does not come from trying to be good at everything. It comes from knowing what you should mostly not do. I also wrote this <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D8WJCUqWu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media post about prime ministers</a>.</p>

</div>
<p>In Amsterdam I had a few days to recover from my jet lag and the intense week in Miami with my father and sister. I am still savouring a special moment with my father. Since his pneumonia he has been very tired and his clear moments have become rare. Yet somehow, whenever I am with him, something unexpected happens. After I had told him I would leave again the next day, he slowly placed his trembling hand on my back. And suddenly he gave me not one, but ten little kisses on my cheek. Love does not always need words.</p>
<p>I wrote this Inspiration Shot from my Tiny Trullo in Puglia. An extra reason to go to Puglia was a special request from the Irish television programme <a href="https://www.rte.ie/player/series/cheap-european-homes/SI0000011946" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cheap European Homes</a>. If they could interview and film me at my Tiny Trullo. Of course I said yes. A chance to share my story, inspire others, capture some beautiful drone footage and shine a spotlight on Puglia is not something I turn down. My episode will air on Irish RTÉ TV in March 2027.</p>
<p>It confirms something I have believed in for years: the power of visibility and free publicity. I even created a course about it, sharing my experiences and tips: <a href="https://estherjacobs.info/en/workshops/modern-promotion-free-publicity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Modern promotion and free publicity</a>.</p>
<p>After Puglia I travelled on to Gruissan, a charming French seaside town that seems to have stayed in the eighties, to visit a friend. Then I will be back in Amsterdam for the first <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/ai-dag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">practical AI day</a>. After that I am going to Malta for a few days for the 45th anniversary of my Nyenrode society, together with 57 (!) women. Then comes the second <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/ai-dag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">practical AI day</a>, for which there is one spot left.</p>
<p>And then, for a change, no flights for a while. If everything goes according to plan, I will simply be in Amsterdam in July and August. My favourite time of year. Who knows, maybe we will bump into each other somewhere this summer.</p>
<p>PS. Curious where I am? On my <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website agenda</a> you can always find my current schedule.</p>

<p>Het leuke van ondernemerschap is dat je nooit klaar bent met leren. Sinds 1992 (!) ga ik regelmatig op mijn bek en boek ik zichtbare successen, soms tegelijk. Het belangrijkste is dat ik mezelf in al die jaren supergoed heb leren kennen.</p>
<p>In mijn enthousiasme om AI toe te passen, was ik in de vorige Inspiratie Shot één belangrijke regel vergeten: altijd alles controleren. Of je nu met mensen werkt of met AI-agents. Een paar links werkten helaas niet goed, waaronder de blog over magie in Peru en mijn posts over AI &#038; relaties en KPI&#8217;s. In <a href="https://estherjacobs.info/blog/oude-wijsheid-nieuwe-magie-inspiratie-shot-mei-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">de vorige Inspiratie Shot</a> kun je alles alsnog teruglezen.</p>

<h2 style="color:#fff;margin:0;text-align:center;">Mijn meest gegeven advies</h2>
</div>
<p>Veel mensen die hun baan willen opzeggen, die willen stoppen met wat ze nu doen of die iets nieuws willen beginnen, denken dat ze meteen radicaal moeten kiezen. Alles loslaten. Springen. Opnieuw beginnen.</p>
<p>Mijn advies is meestal precies het tegenovergestelde: verbrand niet meteen alle schepen achter je.</p>
<p>Bouw liever een brug van waar je nu bent naar waar je naartoe wilt. Gebruik wat je al hebt: je ervaring, je netwerk, je kennis, je reputatie en misschien ook nog even je inkomen. Test je nieuwe idee in of naast je huidige werk. Praat erover. Help iemand. Maak een eerste klein aanbod. Kijk waar energie en reactie op komt.</p>
<p>Op Instagram deelde ik mijn <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CeigPKwD3OO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&#038;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">8 stappen om van bijna alles een business te maken</a>: kijk wat je al weet of kunt, ontdek voor wie dat waardevol is, los een concreet probleem op, maak er een simpel aanbod van, test het op kleine schaal, vraag feedback, vertel erover en verbeter terwijl je bezig bent.</p>
<p>Dat klinkt misschien minder spectaculair dan “ik heb alles opgezegd en ben mijn droom achterna gegaan”. Maar meestal is het slimmer, rustiger en duurzamer. Ondernemerschap begint niet met perfectie, maar met beweging.</p>

<h2 style="color:#fff;margin:0;text-align:center;">Jezelf opnieuw blijven uitvinden</h2>
</div>
<p>Ik ben vaak verbaasd en vereerd als mensen me vertellen dat ze me al jarenlang volgen, sommigen zelfs al meer dan 25 jaar. In die tijd heb ik mezelf regelmatig opnieuw uitgevonden: van goede doelen naar spreker en schrijver, van Expeditie Robinson naar Nederlands eerste digital nomad, en tijdens corona verschoof mijn werk bijna volledig online.</p>
<p>Na een jaar sabbatical merk ik dat ik weer zin heb in live contact. Kleine groepen, echte gesprekken, samen aan tafel. Daarom organiseer ik binnenkort een aantal exclusieve <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/ai-dag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI-praktijkdagen bij mij thuis in Amsterdam</a>. De eerste zat vrijwel direct vol en voor de tweede datum is nog één plek. Blijkbaar is er behoefte aan iets anders dan nóg een online cursus.</p>
<p>Ook speel ik met een nieuw idee: met een klein groepje inspirerende ondernemers een paar dagen wandelen in de Cinque Terre. Geen conferentiezaal, geen strak programma. Gewoon lopen, praten, ideeën uitwisselen en kijken wat er ontstaat. Misschien is na 34 jaar ondernemerschap nog steeds: dingen uitproberen, al doende bouwen en aanpassen. Heb je zin om mee te gaan? Laat het me weten.</p>

<p>…ik nog nooit voor een baas heb gewerkt? Ik ben inmiddels 34 jaar ondernemer en ben in die tijd waarschijnlijk wel honderd keer op mijn bek gegaan. Achteraf ben ik daar best blij mee. Elke fout, mislukking en omweg heeft me iets geleerd. Niet alleen over ondernemen, maar vooral over mezelf.</p>
<p>We verwachten vaak dat leiders, ondernemers en bekende mensen overal goed in zijn: visie, cijfers, communicatie, details, charisma, empathie, uitvoering. Maar bijna niemand is dat allemaal tegelijk.</p>
<p>Daardoor besteed ik mijn tijd bijna uitsluitend aan dingen waar ik energie van krijg en waar ik echt waarde kan toevoegen. De rest probeer ik zo veel mogelijk te vermijden, uit te besteden of simpelweg niet meer te doen.</p>
<p>Misschien is dat wel mijn belangrijkste ondernemersles: succes komt niet van alles kunnen, maar van weten wat je vooral níét moet doen. Ik schreef daarover ook deze <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D8WJCUqWu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media-post over premiers</a>.</p>

<p>In Amsterdam kon ik een paar dagen bijkomen van mijn jetlag en de intense week in Miami met mijn vader en zus. Ik geniet nog steeds na van een bijzonder moment met mijn vader. Sinds zijn longontsteking is hij erg vermoeid en zijn heldere momenten zeldzaam geworden. Toch gebeurt er altijd iets onverwachts als ik bij hem ben. Nadat ik hem had verteld dat ik de volgende dag weer zou vertrekken, legde hij langzaam zijn trillende hand op mijn rug. En ineens gaf hij me niet één, maar wel tien kusjes op mijn wang. Zo zie je maar: liefde heeft niet altijd woorden nodig.</p>
<p>Ik schreef deze Inspiration Shot vanuit mijn Tiny Trullo in Puglia. Een extra reden om naar Puglia te komen was een bijzonder verzoek van het Ierse televisieprogramma <a href="https://www.rte.ie/player/series/cheap-european-homes/SI0000011946" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cheap European Homes</a>. Of ze mij mochten interviewen en filmen bij mijn Tiny Trullo. Natuurlijk zei ik ja. Een kans om mijn ervaringen te delen, mensen te inspireren, prachtige dronebeelden te maken én Puglia wat extra aandacht te geven, laat ik niet liggen. In maart 2027 komt ‘mijn’ aflevering op de Ierse RTÉ TV.</p>
<p>Het bevestigt opnieuw iets waar ik al jaren in geloof: de kracht van zichtbaarheid en free publicity. Ik heb er zelfs een cursus over gemaakt waarin ik mijn ervaringen en tips deel: <a href="https://estherjacobs.info/workshops/moderne-promotie-free-publicity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moderne promotie en free publicity</a>.</p>
<p>Na Puglia reisde ik door naar Gruissan, een charmant Frans kustplaatsje dat in de jaren 80 is blijven hangen, om een vriend te bezoeken. Daarna ben ik terug in Amsterdam voor de eerste <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/ai-dag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI-praktijkdag</a>. Vervolgens ga ik een paar dagen naar Malta voor het 45-jarig bestaan van mijn Nyenrode-dispuut, samen met 57 (!) vrouwen. Daarna volgt de tweede <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/ai-dag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI-praktijkdag</a>, waarvoor nog 1 plek beschikbaar is.</p>
<p>En dan, eindelijk, een tijdje geen vliegtuigen. Als alles volgens plan verloopt, ben ik in juli en augustus gewoon in Amsterdam. Mijn favoriete periode van het jaar. Wie weet komen we elkaar deze zomer ergens tegen!</p>
<p>PS. Benieuwd waar ik uithang? Op mijn <a href="https://www.estherjacobs.info/agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website agenda</a> vind je altijd mijn actuele planning.</p>
