When I first started helping working mothers find time for what truly mattered to them, I was still working full-time, raising three children, and writing books in the evenings. Needless to say, I had to be very careful with how I used the hours available to me each week.

That is why, instead of preparing professional course material in advance, I ensured I was ready to teach the course and created each video only after a group of women had signed up. The group and I met one evening a week, and during the weekend before, I would record the next session’s video.

I filmed at home with the equipment I had—far from the professional recordings I later created with a filming crew and marketing agency. And yet, it was enough. One participant even told me she loved the atmosphere in these homemade videos.

Perhaps they were even better in their own way—cats jumping on my desk and tractors passing outside in the garden—than the polished versions with perfect light and sound that I made later. Who knows? Now that I mainly work with corporate clients, professional videos have their place too. But these early ones are special.

So, many years later, I have decided to give you, one of my followers, access to these original videos. I hope they will be valuable to you in at least two ways:

1 – Practical tools for you.
You will learn how to take charge of your time, energy, and enthusiasm—something I have now helped hundreds of people to do. If you also purchase my book Beyond Efficiency (just €5), you can follow along with all the exercises I mention in the videos, plus many more.

2 – Inspiration to start small.
These videos are proof that you do not need to wait until “the right time”—when you expect to have more skills, more money, or more confidence. You already have what you need to take the first step today.
