The rescue team is a large group of volunteers that have the mission of helping people in dangerous and difficult situations often where the police, paramedics and [...]

Tim Ferris wrote an interesting book called the “four hour work week“, the book became very popular and it was well deserved as this is a great book. The book however reflects the lazy mindset that the majority of people seem to have in the Western world. Everyone wants to be rich but few are [...]
I absolutely love books, even though I am slow reader and hardly ever give myself time to read. But those few times where I am actually able to read a good book are fantastic. Books used properly, change lifes. So here are 2 books that influenced my life in a big way. 1. Real Estate Riches [...]
A few years ago I was like so many other young men experimenting with different ways of making money and working independently. I tried a lot of different things such as buying and selling cars, Internet businesses, stocks, franchises, buying stuff in bulk and selling at my local flea market, real estate, service companies and [...]
In business it is important to be philosophical and think about why your in business and what you want to get out of it. Business isn’t just about making money, for most founders there is a much deeper reason for why they do what they do. Some of us have the need to create, others [...]
I just finished wathcing a youtube video entitled “A Conversation With My 12 Year Old Self”. In the video the filmmaker takes an old video of himself when he was 12 years old and mixes it with video of himself 20 years later.

I sometime feel like there might be something wrong with me because I have this extreme drive to succeed in life. This feeling has lived within my soul for as long as I can remember, I feel like I have to become successful and that it is my mission in life to do something positive [...]
I just love how much of a nerd I can be sometimes. A few months back I connected the sales on my website with my cell phone so that every time I make a sale on my website I get a SMS informing me of it. I think it is very important to always know [...]
I think one of the most important things for a person to do in this life is realize who they really are and what they want to get out of this life. The only way to experience true happiness in life is by knowing what you want. But it is not easy to find yourself [...]
My company is specialized in assisting families to rent out their summerhouses to both local and foreign travelers, we have so far only been working with renting out Icelandic summerhouses.

photo by Antoine Millet I have two books on my nightstand, The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss and The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco. I am in the process of reading them both and I can highly recommend both of them as they have so far had a very big impact on me. Both [...]
For the past 6 or 7 years I have always used the last 2 days of each year to write down 10 goals for the upcoming year. This has become a tradition that I enjoy very much since it gives my a clear path to follow in the new year. It is my experience that [...]
Two days ago I got a an epiphany. I have always been working towards the goal of creating a successful company and a successful company in my eyes was something that had a large office with hundreds of employees, investors begging to invest, massive amounts of money, thousands of customers and all the extravagances that [...]
Recently I have had many discussions about how to create an environment that motivates young people to start up there own companies and create value for themselves and their community.

The same seems also to be true of everybody that is starting up his or her first business regardless of age, sex and nationality. The obstacle that I [...]
