This document is a travel guide that explores retracing the steps of Ebenezer Scrooge in London. It discusses how the stories we tell ourselves profoundly impact how we see ourselves and our lives. Just as Scrooge transformed from a miserly man to a generous one after being visited by ghosts, we have the power to change our stories and transform our destinies. The guide is led by Peter de Kuster, who will show travelers how to identify dysfunctional stories and rewrite more empowering ones that inspire action and help achieve goals, as Dickens illustrated with Scrooge's journey.

1. Introductie
Door Peter de Kuster
“Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you bloody
well better find some way that is going to be interesting –
Katharine Hepburn
Er is niet zoiets als sinterklaas of de kerstman en er is zeker niet zoiets als
de perfecte loopbaan. Dat is wat de meeste mensen werkelijk denken en
het is triest, omdat er genoeg belonende, uitdagende en vervullende
ondernemingskansen zijn die creatieve mensen in staat stellen hun gaves te
gebruiken en er mooi voor beloond te worden.
Diegenen die genoegen nemen met minder dan het beste hebben
simpelweg niet de juiste job gevonden – nog niet. Jij kunt het allemaal
hebben als het over een creatieve loopbaan gaat – wanneer jij weet hoe.
Het feit is dat de meeste mensen hun job haten. Zij zouden liever iets anders
doen – wat dan ook. Het hoeft niet zo te zijn. Wat als ik jou zou vertellen dat
jij nooit meer een dag hoeft te werken in jouw leven? Zou jij niet
2. geinteresseerd zijn? Wanneer jij de juiste match vindt in jouw loopbaan,
voelt het niet langer als werk. Je wordt elke dag wakker opgewonden over
hoe jij jouw geld verdient. Dit perfect harmoniseren van jouw talenten,
vaardigheden, persoonlijkheid en werk creeert een passie en een verlangen
alswel een gevoel van tevredenheid die meer waard is dan goud.
Het kan van jou zijn, wanneer jij deze reisgids door Hollywood wilt lezen.
De uitdaging in deze reis is dat creatieve ondernemingen heel anders zijn.
Om vooruit te komen dien je naar de top te zigzaggen. Laat de verhalen van
creatieve helden en heldinnen uit Hollywood jou tonen wanneer te ziggen
en wanneer te zaggen om het meeste te halen uit de kansen daarbuiten.
Gebruik een Reis van de Held gids wanneer je op avontuur gaat op zoek
naar jouw droomjob. Er is geen schat die op jou wacht ergens op een plek X
op de kaart. De begraven schat is in jou. De jacht naar de schat (of het doel)
is de beloning. Omdat als het over een loopbaan gaat er geen ‘daar’ is. Het is
alle maal een ontdekkingsreis, een queeste. Genieten van de queeste is waar
succes over gaat.
Dit is de eeuw van mogelijkheden voor de creatieve persoon. Innovatie en
ideeen zijn goud waard. Onzin en bureaucratie woren vervangen door
3. respect en beloningen voor de slimme en creatieve persoon. De
zakenwereld is aan het veranderen, beter aan het worden, beter voor jou.
Ben je klaar voor deze spannende tijden?
Deze reis van de held gids zal je in staat stellen om te floreren. Wat ouders,
leraren en bazen kunnen hebben gezien als problemen (slordigheid, luiheid,
korte attentie spanne, nonconformisme) kunnen in werkelijkheid
verborgen schatten zijn in de zoektocht naar een droomjob.
4. Intuitie, emotie, divergent denken, dagdromen, floreren in chaos, grote
plaatje denken, slimheid, open – minded zijn en het vermogen om te spelen
en lol te hebben zijn waardevolle kwaliteiten in de juiste setting.
En toch is het niet exact eenvoudig om een creatieve loopbaan op te
bouwen. Je moet in staat zijn om met afwijzing om te gaan. Het is onderdeel
van het alledaagse leven voor de creatieve held. Er is ook dat grappige
gevoel dat je niet helemaal past – en dat doe je ook niet. Godzijdank. Een
onconventioneel persoon ben je met onconventionele ideeen. Je wordt vaak
gezien als onvolwassen, temperamentvol, humeurig, moeilijk, afgeleid,
onverantwoordelijk en irrationeel.
De waarheid is dat jij jouw prachtige zelf kunt zijn en vooruit komen met
jouw onderneming. Deze reis van de held gids zal jou helpen jouw loopbaan
te managen door gebruik te maken van een whole brein benadering die
voordeel haalt uit hoe jij bent. Zonder te vergeten hoe de wereld werkt.
