van jouw verhaal door een wereldstad als Londen. Een reis in de voetsporen van
verhalen van creatieve helden en heldinnen die ons in deze stad zijn voorafge-
gaan. Denk aan Terence Conran, J.K. Rowling, Charles Dickens, Tolkien, David
Bowie en vele, meer of minder beroemde mensen uit heden en verleden. Peter

Dag 1 De Reis van de Held
In de eerste dag van De Reis van de Held in Londen loodst Peter jou in een inspire-
rende dag langs de verhalen van helden en heldinnen uit heden en verleden van
Londen over het overwinnen van enige van de specifieke uitdagingen die rechter
– breiners in hun verhaal tegemoet zien die een loopbaan willen die zowel bevre-
digend en succesvol is.
Je leert:
• Hoe de loopbaan te kiezen die het beste bij jouw talenten past
• Realistische doelen te stellen waarbij je gebruik maakt van
rechterbreintechnieken
• Hoe jouw weg naar succes te plaveien
• Hoe een ondernemingsplan te maken wanneer jij de onderneming bent
• Hoe gedisciplineerd te zijn wanneer jij jouw eigen baas bent.
Wanneer jij een uitlaatklep vindt voor jouw creativiteit in de vorm van een loop-
baan, zul je een vrijheid ontdekken in jouw werk waarmee je lang kunt leven. Waar
je nooit van wilt pensioneren. Je kunt jouw passie volgen, een briljante loopbaan
opbouwen en financiele zekerheid hebben – als je weet hoe ze te gebruiken.

In de tweede dag van de Reis van de Held in Londen prikkelt Peter jou met ver-
halen over rechterbreinstrategieën die creatieve helden en heldinnen in Londen
gebruiken om jouw bankrekening op te bouwen en de creatieve vrijheid te vinden
om te creeren.
Vraag het een kunstenaar, designer, architect, ingenieur, uitvinder, schrijver, musi-
cus, filmmaker, acteur, gamedesigner en iedereen die werkt in de creatieve eco-
nomie. Je zult van iedereen hetzelfde verhaal horen: Om het geld te hebben om
te creëren moet je creatief zijn met jouw geld.
Wanneer je gelukkig genoeg bent om de perfecte loopbaan voor jezelf gevon-
den te hebben, een loopbaan die jou je talenten laat uitdrukken en jouw creatie-
ve sappen laat vloeien, gefeliciteerd! Echter, Peter kent de harde realiteit die voor
de meesten van jullie maar al te zeer waarheid is. Zelfs wanneer jouw creatieve
sappen vloeien, betekent dat nog niet dat geld in hetzelfde tempo instroomt.

aangereikt krijgt in de verhalen van creatieve helden en heldinnen die ervoor zor-
gen dat geld in hetzelfde tempo binnenkomt, inclusief:

meeste geld kunnen opleveren:
• Hoe het ‘free’ uit freelance te halen en in rekening te brengen wat jij waard
bent;
• Waarom jij de valkuilen zou dienen te vermijden om te veel schulden in magere
tijden op te bouwen – en altijd het belang begrijpen van sparen in booming
tijden;
• Jou laten beseffen dat jij kunt slagen in jouw inspanningen zonder jouw creatie-
ve ziel te verkopen;
• Hoe de fondsen te vinden om jouw dromen te financieren.
Vol met verhalen die jouw ogen zullen openen, instructieve anecdotes en real life
helden en heldinnen als voorbeeld is De Reis van de Held in Londen jouw reisgids
om een financieel leven te krijgen – zodat jij jouw creatieve leven kunt behouden.

jouw aanbod? Ontbreekt het jou aan tijd, geld en kennis?

dinnen uit het heden en verleden van Londen gebruikten om een merk te zijn en

de marketing van jezelf is opgenomen in deze reisgids. Het Merk Held is volgepakt

leren om een onderneming op te bouwen.
Deze derde reisdag door Londen zit vol met winnende strategieen, innovatieve
ideeen, verkoop en marketingtechnieken die voor de creatieve helden in Londen
werkten.

• Hoe marketing te bedrijven zonder geld
• Hoe marketingverhalen te creeren die jou zullen verkopen zelfs wanneer jij er niet
bij bent
• Hoe een buzz te creeren rondom jouw verhaal door gebruik te maken van mond
op mond reclame (en in de huidige tijd: mond op mond reclame op internet)
• Hoe de opinieleiders in jouw markt zover te krijgen dat zij jou aanbevelen en
helpen
7. Jezelf promoten is een van de moeilijkste dingen die een creatieve held of heldin
moet doen. Het is ook het meest cruciale. Deze reisgids biedt jou veel kansen om
iets te vinden dat je kan helpen om dit obstakel te overwinnen en de attentie en
