Entrepreneurship Without a Manual. 🛠️

Building an IKEA closet without the manual.

That’s basically how I’ve approached entrepreneurship my entire life.

You open the box, look at all the pieces and think:

I’ll figure this out somehow.

Of course, you make mistakes.

You put something in backwards.
Use the wrong screw.
And sometimes you have to take half of it apart again.

But eventually, the closet is standing.

And the second time is easier.

Not because someone suddenly gave you the manual, but because you understand the pieces better and know what went wrong the first time.

That’s exactly how I learn as an entrepreneur.

I’m probably what you would call uncoachable.

Not because I don’t want to learn from others. Quite the opposite.

I love listening.
I love exchanging ideas.
And I love learning from other people’s experiences.

But in the end, I need to experience things myself.

I need to build the closet.

And maybe that’s also a little bit of what this journey to Finland is about.

I’m here hiking with an amazing group of entrepreneurs and Outspire – Creativity Hikes.

And I’m going to embrace this experience with both arms.

I’ll listen.
I’ll observe.
I’ll learn.

But ultimately, I’ll still walk my own path.

Because nobody can really give you the manual for entrepreneurship.

Or for life.

And that’s also what the Airplane Podcast is about:

Entrepreneurship.
Life.
Ambition.
Making mistakes.
Happiness.

And, most importantly, figuring things out along the way.

This IKEA closet is just the beginning. 👇
