my name is Michael Keet. Let’s start with my teenage years. The were not so very successful, kicked out of school, no education or relevant working experience. This continued until I reached the age of twenty one. Then there was someone that wanted to help me. I was offered to go back to school for a year. And so I did. Three years of evening schools later I’ve got my bachelor degree and later on my MBA at a Dutch University. But that’s not the only thing, at the age of twenty one I was no good for anything and at the age of thirty I was the finance director from a company that employed over 400 people and had a 60 million turnover. All accomplished in nine years. When I went back to school I realized that this was a one time opportunity. This is what got me back on track, I’ve changed my mindset. I realized that my mindset was one of the most powerful things I had. And this is also one of the things I’ll be showing to you later on.
So, I’ve been a finance director or business controller for about thirteen years. Then again a turning point in life, I started my own business. I’ve developed my online accounting system for self employed and small business owners. I ‘ve also established my own accounting an tax office. This has been changed into a franchise formula, several accounting and tax offices in The Netherlands.
But the start of my company didn’t go smoothly. In the beginning I ran it based on common sense. Quickly I realized that I didn’t know anything about having your own business. So I started to attend trainings. One of them was a mindfulness program. That appealed to me, so much that I also became a mindfulness coach. Mindfulness really helped me, because when I was a finance director or business controller I was afraid of losing my job and income, so I had money stress. As I became an entrepreneur, my income was cut in half, we adjusted our spending pattern and with mindfulness I had hardly any money stress.
Now I’ve combined my 25 years of experience in finance and my mindfulness expertise from the past four years into Moneyfulness and I’ve created a unique program. You will learn to LIVE with MONEY, more money and less stress.
