From 2015 to 2018, I summarised my startup experiences and knowledge from my work on the Startup Genome and Startup Ecosystem Reports on the StartupGeist blog. I also documented the entrepreneurship journey of entrepreneurs through 100+ interviews on my StartupGeist podcast. Finally, I would like to share some valuable entrepreneurship and startup tips and links with you.

I’m glad you’re stopping by StartupGeist!

Can I tell you a secret? No! I’ll do it anyway …

-I only really started to LIVE as an entrepreneur.

And you can do that too!

Do you want to start something? But you don’t know how!

I would like to recommend 2 approaches – active or passive.

I started passively and became more confident and courageous because I built up knowledge. The knowledge gave me a ‘hypocritical’ security.

Looking back, I would start actively with small projects right away. If only I had had the courage I have today…

(1) Active: Learning by doing

Be brave and implement your ideas immediately. Read the following articles:

• Wie du Unternehmer wirst! (Teil 1)
• Wie du Unternehmer wirst! (Teil 2)
• 25 Wege passives Einkommen und Geld im Internet zu verdienen (Teil 3)

(2) Passive: Read and dream
