My experience with Andy was truly necessary for my development in my Photography work.

I am a Destination Wedding Photographer who works around the world and at some point, I found myself I needed help to go further. I couldn’t do everything I needed for my own company.

Through friends, I have found Andy and since the beginning, we understood what was necessary to reach new goals and project my organization to understand it better and foresee what needs to be done to follow my wishes to be my best.

My journey with him was carefully managed and discovered myself in each session.  I have achieved to be more organized and give priority to what I needed to do first to be prepared for my next step.

Nowadays, I have decided to do my second program with him to be able to go even further and be self-empowered. Not an easy journey but I expect to do it perfectly with Andy’s help.

According to what I have achieved, it is an investment working with Andy and super advice to whoever would like to get to know themselves better. Surely, Andy would make you know yourself better and feel more powerful for what your business needs and even better, what is needed for yourself. Do not miss his approach as your mentor!

And he was there, every step of the way, helping me or introducing me to the right people when I needed it.

“But you keep yourself so small! What do you really want? For yourself?” was one of the first things Andy said to me. My mind went blank as I felt the tears stinging. I knew very well what I wanted for my clients. But for myself …?

Andy’s razor-sharp questions put his finger on the sore spot(s). I had a nice well-run business, but I was cruising on autopilot, without knowing where to go and without GPS. In a small plane that no longer really felt like mine.

He pushed me (lovingly, but hard enough :D) to learn to listen to my heart first and only then to my head. To break out and do what I wanted to do: experiment. To make an impact. To fulfill my childhood dream and write my book. I’m too big to fit into one box, he made me realize. And he immediately spurred me into action: “Make a plan! Get up with it and go to sleep with it! Change your approach, but not your goal!”

And so it happened: January 9, my first Co-Create workshop was a reality. And he was there, every step of the way, helping me or introducing me to the right people when I needed it. Everyone needs an Andy, really.

I needed someone who could help me to get all these thoughts into action.

Last year I came to the point where I felt completely stuck Stuck in my business, my network, and everything around me. My head was full of thoughts but none of them were complete or could find a way out. I was tired of being in the same cycle all over again. I had been working with a business coach before, but this was not what I needed. I didn’t need someone to tell me how to run a business, I already knew that I needed something more. Something different. I needed someone who could help me to get all these thoughts into action.

And so, I scheduled a meeting with Andy.
He didn’t need an hour or lunch to make me decide to work with him. He just told me the things I needed to hear to decide. And trust me, you will not sell anything to me if I don’t need it ;) along the way, he was my trusted sparring partner. He challenged me to be a better me and to see myself as an expert in what I do. As a vessel full of positive energy, he could turn my energy around and that was exactly what I needed.

Getting out of my head and into action. And no, he did not push me to go live or make silly movies that did not feel good. He guided me to find my own voice.

Finding my voice again and getting unstuck was my biggest achievement during the time I worked with Andy. These days I get a lot of compliments about my vibe and my presence online and I know I did that myself. But without Andy, I would not have been halfway by now.

So, from the bottom of my heart – Thank you Andy!

Beating around the bushes when answering his questions and remarks is not an option, as they will return until answered honestly.

The last year has been very challenging, both in my business and in my private life. Having Andy as my business coach helped me a lot in keeping my course on both levels.

Beating around the bushes when answering his questions and remarks is not an option, as they will return until answered honestly.

His mindset is just what I needed: internationally oriented, aiming to reach the sky, while keeping an eye at a stable situation in my family and making sure the work-life balance stays healthy.

Andy’s support was and still is highly appreciated by my family members as well as by myself. Moreover, Andy is a true energy bomb and has a gift to connect interesting like-minded people on his vitalizing events.

I learned to pivot from self-criticism to self-confidence and that time and time again when criticism rears its head.

What did 9 months of mentoring from Andy Nijs get me?
In other words, how have I grown in 2022?

I now really connect with what I want, even if it’s just materialistic and I allow myself to have it;
I drive around in my dream car;
I learned to pivot from self-criticism to self-confidence and that time and time again when criticism rears its head;
I know now that it’s normal, that sometimes we go through a more difficult period, and that’s ok;
I love what I do – the professional jacket fits me like a glove;
I know where I want to go;
I was suddenly able to pitch my offer this fall;
I realize that I am on my way and that I see the path ahead of me, in part because I now have examples of people who are now where I want to get;
I understand and accept that fear is part of it
Ah, and I got a new partner (because I was beaming so much);
Ha, yes and I realize there are a lot more guts to throw into the fray, we keep growing.
