From full-time recruiter to sustainable entrepreneur: My journey to freedom and impact

As someone who values sustainability, health, and freedom, I've found a path that has not only transformed my own life but can also inspire others to pursue their dreams. In this blog, I share my transformation from a busy Recruiter in Amsterdam to a life of freedom, sustainability, and online entrepreneurship.

My life as a Recruiter in Amsterdam
After graduating in 2014 with a degree in Human Resource Management, I worked in various HR roles. I loved my last job as a Recruiter. However, I worked more than 50 hours a week, was always available, enjoyed a vibrant social life, and exercised about 6 days a week. This was my 'normal' because everyone around me was doing it. Until early 2020 when I was unexpectedly laid off. For a month, I felt miserable until I realized: they had given me back my freedom.

Time, location, and financial freedom
Let me be clear: I had a very good job and earned almost €50,000 a year. But on the flip side, I also had high rent costs, only 25 vacation days, and worked more than 50 hours a week. The redundancy gave me a financial cushion that allowed me to discover what I truly wanted to do with my life. I chose to travel and do volunteer work, focusing on sustainability and health. This experience opened my eyes to the possibilities of a life outside the traditional rat race.

Through traveling, it became increasingly clear that I would never go back to office work. There is so much to discover and contribute to in the world that I wanted to retain the freedom to continue doing so. I explored various forms of online work, such as freelancing and blogging, but didn't feel passionate about them. Also, I'd still be depenend on projects and companies. Not to forget that I enjoyed connecting with like-minded individuals and collaborating. That's when I came across a global online community that felt just right. I watched a 30-minute webinar and knew: this is it. 

The community is filled with people like me. Ambitious, eager to make a difference in the world, valuing health, sustainability, and freedom. Where others would tell me 'you're living in a dream world', these people would cheer me on and say: 'Let's make it happen!'

The community teaches me everything about being an (online) entrepreneur. We have masterclasses and very inspirational teachings from leaders all over the world. They introduced me to High Ticket Network (affiliate) marketing, something which was very new to me.

Essentially, it involves promoting the products or services of an organization. Each time you make a sale, you earn a commission. It's actually a very old way of doing marketing. For example, traditional marketing often reserves 50% for advertisements, TV commercials, etc. With Network Marketing, this percentage goes to the people = money to the people instead of other organizations. Why would we reinvent the wheel when there’s something out there that completely aligns with our values? 

There are many different types of affiliate marketing. I chose High Ticket Affiliate Marketing because it adds value and doesn't solely focus on making money like with links through Amazon. That's what I've found in Enagic, a Japanese organisatrion that exists already for 50 years and produces medical graded machines. Their main product is Kangen Water.

Kangen Water is an ionizer that not only filters your tap water but transforms it into Electrolyzed Reduced Water. Countless scientific articles have been written about it, and its impact on our health is enormous. With adjustable pH levels ranging from 2.5 to 11.5, it has more than 68 different applications that eliminate the need for chemicals. It replaces amongst others bleach, beauty products, conditioner, and is a very powerful degreaser. And, my favorite: it washes pesticides off fruits and vegetables (see picture). So, it was a no-brainer for me: this is a product I want to have and start my business with.

It's not without reason that more and more people are choosing to start their (online) business with Enagic. There are numourous reasons to mention, but let's keep it short: 

• Enagic has a patented commission plan, which means that no other organization is using this way of payment.
• With one sale, you can earn between €285 and €4,500 (ofcourse, you have to build this up!)
• Proven product lifespan of 25-30 years and working towards the mission of Global Health
• It is versatile: from online advertisements to offline demonstrations. By using the product yourself and experiencing the benefits, you naturally want to tell others about it. It's like recommending your favorite restaurant, but getting paid for it. How you do this is up to you. 
  

I now live here, at La Foret du Dragon. A beautiful place in the heart of a Natura 2000 area where we are setting up an eco-project focusing on biodiversity and land regeneration. Through forest bathing, we bring people back to themselves more deeply because in all the hustle of the world, we've forgotten how to truly connect with ourselves, others, and nature. We have a campsite, 4 accommodations, and offer pilgrimages with our herd of animals and retreats.

I think it's awesome that I can share Kangen Water with visitors here. This way, I want to make health and sustainability a continuous topic of conversation. We humans are 70% water, so it's essential for our health. New visitors receive two bottles of Kangen Water with a flyer (see picture) that zooms in on the global plastic problem. Away with chemicals, away with plastic! Everything comes directly from your tap, what more could you want! Our goal is to provide each accommodation with a Kangen Water machine, including their shower, and spread sustainability/health. The fact that I earn (good) money directly from this is obviously a bonus

During my travels, I always said, "where you feel fear, there lies your growth potential." That's why I invite you to take that first step towards a life of freedom and fulfillment with me. Whether you want to spend more time with your family, do volunteer work, make an environmental impact or explore the world, I'm ready to guide you.
