Are any of the following questions applicable to you? 

  • Are you stuck in daily business worries?
  • Is more attention paid to your operational matters rather than the long-term vision?
  • Do you want to grow and expand but you don't know how?
  • Do you have many ideas but tend to forget your goal?

If any of the above questions seem familiar to you, it might be time to think about hiring an entrepreneurial advisor. An entrepreneurial advisor can;

  • Advise on growth, investments and automation
  • Help you to think strategically
  • Provide consultancy on human resources
  • Last – but not least- helps you to anchor the changes in your company and take the employees with you.

As an experienced entrepreneur, I know better than most that a successful business is not only a result of hard work and experience, but also from being enthusiastic and passionate about what I do, everyday.  I have been fortunate enough to build up an extensive network which has enriched my professional experiences and enables me to bring a wealth of knowledge to every project.

As I have experienced all facets of entrepreneurship directly, and understand the benefits of having a coach- and of being a coach- I am passionate about sharing this knowledge and helping businesses to grow and prosper. Consequently I decided that, after the sale of my two companies, I would take the step of starting to coach and advise entrepreneurs, like you, unlocking access to my vast network/partner base to help you grow.

Whats next?

Establishing what your goals and aspirations are,  and understanding your challenges and limitations, will be the critical first step. I do this with a business view and an empathic heart, because I know better than anyone how difficult entrepreneurship can be. 

Custom Made

What is Custom made?

Advising is always made to measure. That is why we determine the advice process together, based on your questions and wishes. Subsequently, we will draw up a tailor-made plan with levers that give you a better idea of your own mission and goals and how to realise them. During the trajectory, I will coach you to make sure you keep a sharp focus on achieving the defined set of goals.

Our first meeting is,  of course without obligation. In this exploratory meeting we look at whether our personalities, ideas and energy fit together. This is crucial in order to be able to work together in good faith and with success.

I focus in particular on SMEs that have largely passed the start-up phase.  My speciality is helping those companies, who’s next step is in-house, but who are not quite getting off the ground due to internal or external blockages. If you are open to an experienced, entrepreneur-sparring partner, who holds up an honest mirror to you, please contact me.  

Mission

What is my mission?

My mission is to share positive energy, knowledge and my network with inspiring and enthusiastic entrepreneurs.

By advising and sparring, I am happy to pass this knowledge on to you so that together we can come up with insight and good solutions.

I do this in combination with a business attitude and a social heart. As an entrepreneur you will be given tools that will give you a better insight into your own mission and goals.

  • Ailén Gamberoni, co-founder of Cucina Italiana

    It is practically impossible to imagine how many unknowns can arise when you decide to open a business, especially if in a foreign country. The Dutch system is not that simple, because you must know it in depth in all its nuances. With my start up Cucina Italiana I had several difficulties and when Jeroen started to help us was truly precious: with his expertise he reassured us and advised us in the best possible way. Not only is he a keen entrepreneur, but he has also an important and valid network of contacts that make him truly useful and valuable. I highly recommend his advice, first of all as an entrepreneur, but also as a trusted person.

  • Leo van Lier en Luke Lunter, Startsmiling.nl/Tandartspraktijk Acht

    Jeroen luistert aandachtig en stelt gerichte analytische vragen. Met zijn empathisch vermogen en enthousiasme leidt hij je gestructureerd naar de antwoorden op je vragen. Je wordt door hem nog enthousiaster om je nieuwe project op de rails te zetten. Opvallend is zijn kennis, brede kijk en ervaring. Voor ons heeft zijn advies geresulteerd in het goed in de markt zetten van ons product. Ook later in het project toen we vastliepen met onze sociale media heeft Jeroen in een kort gesprek de vingers op het probleem gelegd. Hierdoor konden we betere keuzes maken voor de toekomst.

  • Mirelle Klijs, De Verzuimmakelaar B.V. en 2de Spoor B.V.

    Met twee bedrijven onder mijn hoede die allebei in een andere groeifase zaten, werd het tijd om iemand in te huren die op mijn niveau kan sparren en meebouwen aan beide zaken. Jeroen is aan de slag gegaan en een aantal knelpunten had hij snel boven tafel. Hij heeft processen geoptimaliseerd, werkwijzen efficiënter gemaakt en heeft medewerkers productiever gekregen. Er is meer structuur gebracht. Voor mij als ondernemer is het prettig om te sparren met Jeroen. Hij geeft eerlijk en helder advies en denkt in het grote geheel. Soms een luisterend oor, soms juist de kritische vraag. Dit altijd in een sfeer die prettig is en constructief. Het moet nut hebben wat hij doet, anders doet hij het niet. Alles is heel transparant. De samenwerking ervaar zowel ik als mijn collega’s als zeer waardevol en positief.

  • Wouter Groenewegen, Pelog Trading B.V. & W.F. Groenewegen Holding B.V.

    Al vele jaren is Jeroen mijn zakelijke adviseur. Door zijn ervaring en zijn heldere kijk op ondernemen is Jeroen voor mij een zeer bruikbare gesprekspartner. Zijn adviezen op gebied van risicobeheersing, financiering, verzekeringen, human relations, management en contracten zijn voor mij  en mijn bedrijven van grote waarde.
