🌀 Why This 13-Week Guide Is Not Like Any Others
A creative, ethical and human approach to entrepreneurship
I realised that I could dive a little more into why this guide I’m currently working on is not like any others.
When we hear the word “entrepreneurs,” it often carries, at least in my experience, either a pejorative connotation, or an attitude of: “ok, sell it to me.” Which, right now, might seem like a paradox, because yes, I AM trying to convince you this one is different.😁 But it really is. So if you have a few minutes, read on.

💡 It starts from the inside
Most entrepreneurship guides focus on strategy, productivity, and profit.
This one begins with something deeper: who you are, what you care about, and how to build something meaningful without losing yourself along the way.
I honestly believe, in the current education system, anywhere in the world, does not teach how to be an ethical entrepreneur this way.
👣 For those who don’t feel “that’s not for me”
What makes this guide unique is its foundation in self-awareness, wellbeing and creativity, before any business plan is on the table.
It speaks to those who don’t necessarily see themselves as entrepreneurs: young people (even children), creatives, introverts, late bloomers or those unsure where to start, but who know they want to build something with heart.
Rather than jumping into tactics, I invite you to (re)connect with your joy, strengths, and purpose. You're not expected to come in with a polished idea; you’re guided gently to discover one through reflection, presence, and curiosity.
This slow, intentional unfolding is unlike the fast-paced, hustle-oriented tone of most mainstream business books.
🌍 A changing world needs new kind of entrepreneurs
I believe we are entering a new phase in our human history. We cannot carry on the way we live (overproduction and maldistribution are a few aspects I can think of). In order to change this, we have to be working from the inside, inside the system, standing right at the centre of the storm.
That means we’ve got to take action ourselves, not wait for someone else to do it, in order to become self-reliant and self-sufficient.
I also understand that sometimes resources are limited, but in this guide, you’ll be reminded often to act with what you have and trust your gut (read my post on intuition for more guidance on how). This will change the outcome for you and for the people around you; but you’ve got to stick to it.
🧠 Wellbeing isn’t optional: it’s essential
Another powerful differentiator is the strong emphasis on mental and physical wellbeing.
Instead of treating burnout as a side note, this guide weaves hydration, sleep, movement, rest and emotional self-regulation directly into each week. These aren’t add-ons; they’re essential tools for sustainable creativity and resilience.
You’re encouraged to work with your natural pace and energy, not against it.
🤍 Human-first and the misunderstood power of individualism
The tone of the guide is also radically different: it’s non-patronising and honest.
I have been there so many times, so I’m fully aware of how important that is for making real progress. This guide doesn’t assume you have a team, start-up capital, or even confidence, it believes that you have a desire to create something that matters.
It makes space for fear, doubt, failure, and nonlinear progress.
There’s no performative optimism, only real encouragement.
Life is a full spectrum of emotions; none can be denied if we truly want to grow.
On the subject of individualism, I could write a full post on how it has been distorted through society’s conditioning (once again!) and to believe it’s a negative trait in community living. Let’s revisit that later.
🌀 Designed for all kinds of minds
This guide is for everyone by design.
I’m not keen on using labels, but for the purpose of this post: yes, neurodivergent individuals can absolutely access and benefit from it.
It supports different rhythms, learning styles and sensitivities. There’s an open, non-rigid structure, visual thinking support (coming via my newsletter), space to rest and consistent reminders to listen to your own body and intuition.
Whether you're ADHD, dyslexic, autistic parts or simply tired of one-size-fits-all models, this guide respects your experience.
🌱 Built on ethics and legacy
This guide doesn’t treat ethics and legacy as afterthoughts.
They are central.
You, readers, are not only asked what you want to build, but why, and how you’ll do it without compromising your values. The guide invites you to consider your community and our planet, not just the bottom line.
📖 Not a how-to. A companion for the journey.
This is not an e-book that tells you what to do.
It asks powerful questions. It gives you tools for self-discovery.
And it leaves space for you to decide for yourself.
It’s definitely not about conformity!
It’s about alignment, with yourself and the world around you.
And yes the guide will also be affordable, because I believe this kind of support should be accessible.
I sincerely believe that after applying (some or all) of these guide exercises, you’ll envision something more positive and ethical, for yourself and your community. I know it did, does and will be for me!
