- [Narrator] They say that the human race is doomed.
That we have lost touch with our true nature.
That the media has corrupted us
and that the planet has no future.
I disagree.
I believe that humanity is full of hope
and that our salvation lies within each one of us.
My name is Brian Rose, and my job is to listen.
The oldest method of learning known to man.
Each week I seek out individuals
that are changing the world.
People who are living and thinking in a different way.
Their stories will challenge your beliefs,
make you question your choices, and perhaps,
inspire you to change.
I never planned on doing any of this, but now I can't stop.
Join me on this mission, and make humanity something
we can all be proud of.
This is London Real, I am Brian Rose.
My guest today is Sanne Ham, recent graduate
of our Business Accelerator.
Welcome.
- Hi Brian.
- Tell us about you.
Where are you from and what do you do?
- I'm from the Netherlands, I'm from near Hague.
And now ever since I have joined
the Business Accelerator with you guys,
so during the process I have started my own business
for therapy and coaching, and I mainly focus on anxiety.
I'm still young, I'm only 21 years old.
So before I studied occupational therapy.
So I always wanted to go like into more therapy
and always helping others with their problem
and especially what I'm passionate about is
anxiety and heart disease because I also have
personal experience with that.
And so now my mission mainly is to help others with that.
And so I did quit my study and yeah aside from that,
I always like worked in store for a few years.
I always loved like working with people.
So that's what I love most.
- And what made you think that it was time
for you you know to take something
like Business Accelerator?
What was going through your mind to know that
I need some mentoring or I need some kind of plan?
- Because I know like starting a business
or something is something big.
And especially because I'm young
and I don't have any experience in business.
So I do have some people I know, but not like big
good network that can completely help you with.
And I do know, and I always believe in collaboration
and helping each other out, and I think that's
what attracted me to the course.
So they have people help you out,
people with experience so they can kind of teach you
what they learned.
And that's exactly what I needed at that time.
So for me it was perfect timing actually.
- And why London Real?
- I've been watching the show for a few years now,
I think two years.
Basically when I sort of get into crossfit and movement,
that's when I found out about the show.
I think my brother kind of said one day like
you should watch this episode of the Just Move guys
called Ido Portal, it's pretty good.
And so I watched an episode and that was actually
the first episode I watched, and then afterwards
a lot of others.
So I kind of knew about the Business Accelerator
for a longer time.
So that's why I also could make the decision
because I did know what it was about beforehand
so it wasn't completely new to me.
- And you joined.
And you start this experience for eight weeks.
You get into this Facebook group.
It's 150 people around the world.
I got video modules.
I'm asking you to do assignments, the accountability,
on Live twice a week.
What's that first two weeks like for you?
- It was intense and like crazy.
At the beginning I was like, oh,
what did I get myself into?
To be honest I was like, I had some moments
that I actually wanted to quit,
especially in the beginning.
No really.
But I did like it at the same time.
It was just I was a little scared to do a lot of things
because like, except for like the technical stuff
and like writing and things like that,
everything was out of my comfort zone.
So yes, that's why it was so intense
'cause you're constantly going in an area
where you are doing things you've done before.
So that's what made it so intense for me.
Yeah, but I did like it at the same time.
- And like now that you've finished the course,
what was the biggest win for you?
What's the biggest thing that you were proud of
that you accomplished or like something
that you learned?
- Speaking up 'cause that's what I never did before.
I think before I always, I had my ideas,
and I had things that I was passionate about,
but I never really talked about it
with almost anyone, or only a few people like.
And now I do it all the time.
And yeah, also I never really wanted to be
like the centre of attention, and I always kind of wanted
to hide or was the person that was more like
in the corner like the introvert.
And I also learned opening up more.
So speaking up, opening up.
That was like what was most beneficial for me.
Yes, definitely.
- Yeah, getting out of your comfort zone
and just like talking about it.
What's it like the people in the group,
what was your team like and all these people
from around the world you see on these calls
and have to do everything with?
What is that?
- It was what I found like most fun about the course
because you're going through so many new things,
like you have people you can share it with,
you can talk about.
They know exactly what you're going through.
So in a short time, you really,
even though you don't even physically see each other,
like only through like the webcam,
you really get like really connected to those people
because you have so much in common during the process.
And what I liked about our team
that everyone was so different.
So that's why with in one week,
those people could help everyone
and the other week was more other people helping around.
So everyone has their own talents and yeah, so,
you can really help each other out.
That's what I like a lot.
So it was really beneficial to work in a group.
That's what I prefer.
I'm not like one who wants to do things only alone.
That's not my style, no.
- And how was selling?
How was doing your own live webinar?
And having to do all that?
- That was so scary.
I was so scared.
I think before I was about to start,
I was like almost backing out.
I almost backed out of it and then it was like, no,
I'm just going to do it.
So I calmed myself down and I did it.
Selling part was like most difficult for me.
So like talking about the subjects is
where I feel comfortable with.
I do know what I'm talking about it
and I do know it can be helpful
and beneficial for people to hear it.
But the selling was more difficult
because I'm not used to it.
And I suppose it's not something you do before
and you're really new to it, so yeah.
- But you did it.
- Yes, I did do it.
- And you sold products.
- Yes.
- How does that feel?
- Yeah, like afterward that feels really good.
Like with me it was also like
after my first webinar, I didn't know people wanted
to buy my products.
They messaged me afterwards.
So at first thought no, not my product.
Until I got like messages afterwards.
So yeah.
- And what are the next 12 months like for you?
What do you want to do with this business?
- I definitely want to continue what I'm doing right now.
I want to improve it.
And working on creating a new product.
So kind of to take everything I've learned.
And yes so what's most important for me is
to continue to put out my message
so I'm going to continue to stay active
in social media.
My main focus now is on anxiety,
but also I want to focus more on anger
because I think we have a lot of suppressed anger.
And that's actually, people struggle with anxiety
are also people who suppress their anger.
That's kind of what I figured out.
So yes, and collaborate, that's what I found out
I love most, collaborating with other people.
And I think because I'm young,
that's actually my benefit.
Like a lot of people actually want to collaborate
with someone who's young.
They actually like that.
So that is what I love most.
And to get my certificates.
So I'm also going to go to Australia really soon.
So yeah a lot of new things are going to happen.
Yeah, but you an see, working on my business,
getting certificates, and collaborating is
like the main thing, yeah.
- And how have you changed as a person?
You know, if we walked outside and bumped into Sanne
who didn't take this course, what's she like?
- Like all those things she would seal up inside.
So all that passion, all that knowledge,
that she gained over the last year,
she kept all to herself and she'd not be worth it.
And what I found out now that actually in short time,
like eight weeks, I already help people.
You know I never expected that.
For me it was never was about money.
Now of course I like money.
Everyone likes money or you lie usually.
But it wasn't like my main motivation.
And it was what I think when you're actually
in a conversation with a coaching session with someone,
and you notice how helpful it is what you do,
yeah then you know what you do it for.
That's for me yeah.
- And to someone who's watching us now,
who's on the edge, I don't know if I should join
the Accelerator.
I don't know if it's for them.
What would you tell them?
- To do it, and to face your fears,
and to fear something new is normal.
Like always when you go to higher level
or you go to do something, it will always be there,
it will always be present.
And fear's not the enemy.
You know it's always here to teach you something.
And more about yourself.
And what you know one of the things
you do not want to figure out what you do want.
And you need contrast to grow, it's normal.
Don't think you're crazy if you have a lot of fear,
it's normal.
- Sanne, you are wise beyond your years.
It's great seeing you on those live calls.
I mean that you showed up, you did the work,
and you went all in.
So thank you so much.
And thank you so much for contributing.
And yeah, it's hard to believe you're 21
and you have all this knowledge to link
and construct your future.
And it is about adding value to people's lives,
just like following your passion.
And I love this thing about anxiety and anger,
and I'm thinking about my own right now.
So you must be doing something right.
So it's awesome.
Welcome to the family.
And the next 12 months, we'll be watching you
and your teammates, and let's do some big things.
Okay?
- Yeah, that's cool.
- Alright, thank you.
- Thank you.
