Je bent niet alleen.

SUMMARY:Spookgedachten van ondernemers (NL)
DESCRIPTION:Zelfs de meest zelfzekere ondernemer krijgt er vroeg of laat mee te maken: spookgedachten. 👻  Ze sluipen stilletjes binnen en doen je twijfelen aan jezelf\, je keuzes of je kunnen. Herkenbaar?\nZe nemen vaak de vorm aan van:\n\nStraalangst\n“Op Instagram vertellen over m’n aanbod? Aaaahhh\, straks vinden ze me arrogant.” \n\nFaalangst\n“Wat als niemand opdaagt voor mijn event? Of niemand mijn nieuwe online aanbod wil kopen?” \n\nImposter syndrome\n“Wie ben ik om anderen advies te geven? Straks merken ze dat ik ook maar wat doe…” \n\nFriends fears\n“Wat gaan mijn vrienden denken als ik weer iets nieuws lanceer?” \n\nComparison monster\n“Zij hebben al 10k volgers\, een team én een webshop… en ik?” \n\n… en nog vele andere varianten.\n\n  \nHoe herken jij deze gedachten bij jezelf? Wat doen ze met jou als ondernemer?\nEn vooral: hoe kan je ze doorprikken zodat je weer met meer vertrouwen je eigen pad volgt?

SUMMARY:Workshop: ervaar de superkracht als ondernemer met een turbobrein 🧠
DESCRIPTION:Ben jij iemand met een turbobrein (dat brein dat altijd en overal op volle toeren draait)?\nOp bovenstaande data hosten we een informele workshop: “Ervaar de superkracht als ondernemer met een turbobrein” samen met de Turbobreinen familie\, met Patricia De Bruycker aan het roer.

Je bent niet alleen.

SUMMARY:Dealing with imposter syndrome\, low confidence\, and perfectionism - Freelancers in Belgium PRO Business Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Even experienced freelancers sometimes doubt their abilities\, compare themselves to others\, or hold themselves back with overly high standards. In this session\, we explore how imposter feelings show up in freelance life\, how to recognise when perfectionism becomes unhelpful\, and what to do when self-doubt keeps you from being visible\, confident\, and consistent in how you show up professionally. \nExpect an honest and supportive conversation with fellow freelancers\, combined with practical reflections and ideas you can immediately apply. The focus is not on “fixing yourself”\, but on understanding these patterns\, normalising them\, and learning how to move forward with more confidence and ease. \nAbout the formatThis is a Freelancers in Belgium PRO Business Roundtable: an interactive online session where freelancers openly share challenges\, experiences\, and practical approaches in a safe\, peer-to-peer setting. \nWe meet online every month on a Friday to discuss real freelance challenges and exchange practical advice. Each session is hosted by Freelancers in Belgium founder and community leader Jenny Björklöf\, who brings insights from her own freelance journey and from running a community of over 17\,000 freelancers. Some sessions also include guest experts who add their perspective to the discussion. \nAccessThis event is exclusively for Freelancers in Belgium PRO members.You can join PRO for one month (€24.90) to attend this session and access the full platform. After joining\, you can RSVP for the event. \nLearn more and join here: www.freelancersinbelgium.be/pro
