When someone asks, “How are you?” do you think about it before you answer... or do you automatically answer, “Great”?
Or here is another common one: "Busy", that has somehow become code for "Successful". 

Think about it. How often do we show up to family and friends hiding the real things: the struggles, the doubts, the messy human moments? And yet, sometimes we hide the joys too. The triumphs, the wins, the moments that make our hearts soar. We don’t want to brag or make anyone feel small, so we keep even the good things to ourselves.

The result? We move through life quite monotonously if we're not careful. We dull both the highs and the lows. We settle for mediocrity, rarely showing what is TRULY happening in our lives.
 

This Christmas, try something different. Share it all.
The laughter, the excitement, the messy moments, the doubts. Let your loved ones see the full spectrum of who you are, rekindle those honest connections with your siblings, your parents, before you developed al...

Our Christmas breakfast this year was, once again, a blast.

The kind that starts with good coffee ☕, warm hugs 🤗, and ends with people yelling across the room about how many nationalities we might have at the table, loudly disagreeing over what counts and what doesn't.

We caught up, celebrated the year, and then wrapped it all with a quiz that turned perfectly normal entrepreneurs into competitive gladiators ⚔️🔥.
Yes, we all respect each other.
Yes, we’re here for connection and support.
But put a flip chart in the middle and suddenly everyone wants to WIN, and it becomes a full-blown comedy show 😂.

Teams huddled like sports coaches whispering strategies. Pens were flying ✍️. Arguments over “what’s the unofficial community superpower?” got louder by the minute. People sprinted to the flip chart to squeeze in one last answer. It was chaos… fun, hilarious chaos.

What made it even better? The insights that came out between the laughter 🌟.
We realised the real glue of this community isn’t j...

The heating stopped working at the Clubhouse, and I was informed by the person who has rented it for a workshop... Not cool Mandy.

What followed was two days of me sprinting around Nyon, and eventually Aubonne hunting plugs, adapters and radiators like a woman on a heroic, but slightly ridiculous, quest.

When it was over, I half jokingly, half curiously, turned to ChatGPT to make sense of my “headless chickening” … and actually, did it deliver some interesting insights

Here are four points that shed some light on my reactions:

Stress can give you tunnel vison.
When the pressure rose, my brain locked onto one mission: “the plug!!”  and I literally couldn’t see any other solutions, as chat GPT stated: “tap dancing in front of my eyes.” Solutions like, just grab a new radiator and go...

Pressure to perform led me to overcommit. 
I wanted everything perfect for the renter, so I doubled down on fixing instead of stepping back to think.

Optimism bias is sneaky.
I trusted things would wo...

When the idea of the B-inspired community first came to me, it came from both fire and frustration. Seeing so many small business owners carrying the same challenges quietly and alone, afraid that sharing the full truth of their journeys would make them look less credible, less professional, less successful… or whatever story we had learned to tell ourselves.

But the truth? The struggles we face are normal. And there is absolutely no shame in them.

I didn’t want “networking.” I wanted real connection. Real trust. A place where collaboration and collective intelligence could live again. I feel like everyone is talking about it but it's rare to truly find. The kind you often lose when you step out of employment and no longer have colleagues who truly understand the good, the bad, and the messy.

So I went all in. Masterminds. Workshops. Coworking. And to my delight, I discovered I wasn’t alone in believing that this kind of space was deeply needed.

Now, as we move into our third year,...

Our recent session on passive income was a breath of fresh air.

Warm, practical, and completely free of the usual “get rich while you nap” nonsense. The feedback was clear: people loved the honesty, the clarity, and the zero-BS approach Lynn Bruines brought.

🌟 First, we defined what passive income can bring:

✓ More Freedom
✓ Earning while you’re out living your life
✓ Almost exponentially scalable: one effort serving many

❌ And what it is not

✗ Effortless
✗ Free of time investment
✗ Possible without visibility & marketing

No magic shortcuts, but absolutely real potential when approached with intention.

🔍 We also got hands-on

We worked through the prompt questions to identify which passive income model actually fits us, Our personality, strengths, and business reality. Everyone left with:
- Clear next steps
- A direction that felt doable
- A path that wasn’t built on hype, but on strategy

Our latest workshop had one big takeaway: ChatGPT is only as smart as the way you train it.

Here’s what stood out:

1. Train your "GPT's"
The paid version is worth it, if you want Chat GPT to take on different "personas". You can tailor it to your tone, style, and goals specific to each of the different "persona's" and it doesnt get mixed up by the different types of prompts you might be using it for. Use them to get sharper focus in every area.

2. Stay sane, turn off suggestions.
The endless stream of “maybe you’d like this” isn’t helpful. It’s information pollution. Fewer distractions, more focus.
 

3. Feed it your own thinking. Don’t just ask “write me an article on XYZ.”
Give it your ideas, values, and opinions as the starting point. That’s how you keep it objective and authentic.

But here’s the twist: tools like GPT only mirror what you bring. If your prompts are vague and not thought through from several angles (content, tone, what you want the output to be specifically), the qu...
