So grateful that I could be part of this! A vision that truly became reality, like I couldn't even imagine.

An evening filled with connection, vision & excellence. Experiencing the lifestyle we are all working towards.

I can't wait what the future holds for me, this organisation and everyone in FTP. This is only the beginning 🤍

Soms ontmoet je iemand en verandert alles.

Een jaar geleden kwamen we in contact via TikTok, en binnen een week besloot ik ervoor te gaan. Twee dagen later stond ik al op mijn eerste event. Nieuwe omgeving, nieuwe mensen, niet wetende wat dit me ging brengen, maar het voelde meteen als de juiste plek.

En dat begon allemaal bij jou, Mandy.

Jij was degene die mij kennis liet maken met FTP en mij stap voor stap heeft begeleid. Niet alleen in de business, maar ook in mijn persoonlijke groei. Je zag iets in mij, nog voordat ik het zelf volledig zag. En dat heeft echt het verschil gemaakt.

Van een eerste event, naar mijn eerste Mastery Mansion, team trainingen, bonding days en zoveel momenten waarin ik ben gegroeid. Jij bent daar een groot onderdeel van geweest.

Ik ben je oprecht dankbaar voor je energie, je geduld en het vertrouwen dat je mij hebt gegeven. Dit heeft mijn leven veranderd, en dat is niet iets wat ik ooit voor lief zal nemen.

Op naar nog veel meer samen. Let's create a legacy 🤍 taken in Utrecht by @tessekoolen

Day 5 in the Azores 🌊

Another day of exploring, slowing down and realizing just how much I value the freedom I’m building for myself.

Being able to work from wherever I want, take time to explore, discover new places and create a life that doesn’t revolve around a 9–5, that’s the real goal ✈️🤍

Because for me, building a business was never just about making more money.

It’s about creating more freedom, flexibility and choice.

And honestly… if this can be my office view sometimes, I’m definitely on the right track 😉🌊

3 months. October → November → December 🔒

No more waiting for the “perfect moment”. Just showing up, staying consistent and seeing what happens when you really lock in.

New goals. New standards. Same me, just more disciplined. 🖤

Day 4 in the Azores 🤍

Another day of exploring, taking the long way around and collecting moments I’ll probably remember for years.
And honestly, this is one of my favourite parts of building a business online.

Building a business that gives me more options.
More places to see.
More experiences to have.
More freedom with my time.

Because what’s the point of building success if you don’t get to enjoy the life it creates? ✨ taken in Nordeste, Azores by @tessekoolen

You’re not always going to feel motivated.

Some days you’ll feel strong.
Some days you’ll feel tired.
Some days you’ll want to skip the workout altogether.

But every time you choose to show up anyway, you’re building more than just a stronger body.

You’re building discipline.
Confidence.
Trust in yourself.

And that version of you you keep imagining?
She’s built in the days you almost didn’t show up 🥊

Keep going.

Day 3 in the Azores 🌿

A little glimpse of the kind of life I’m working towards.

Having the freedom to take a trip, explore somewhere new, experience more and still have the flexibility to keep building what I’m building.

I don’t want to choose between ambition and freedom.
Between building a business and actually living my life.

I want both.

And that’s exactly what I’m creating 🤍

For a long time, I thought freedom meant having enough money to do whatever you want.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize that's only one piece of the puzzle.

Because what good is financial freedom if you don't have your health?
What good is having time if your mindset keeps you stuck?
And what good is building a successful business if you never actually use that freedom to experience life?

For me, freedom sits at the intersection of finances, health, mindset and experiences.

That's why I'm building my life around all four.

I'm working on creating additional income streams.
I'm investing in my health.
I'm working on my mindset and becoming the person capable of creating the life I want.
And I'm making space for experiences: travelling, exploring, learning and simply enjoying my life along the way.

And that's also what I love about the business I'm building.

It's not just about making money.
It's about creating an ecosystem that can give you more options in life.

The goal isn't to escape life.
The goal is to build a life you don't constantly need to escape from.

What does freedom mean to you?

Comment “FREEDOM” or send me a DM if you want to see what I'm building 🤍 by @tessekoolen

Maybe you don’t need to pick one thing.

Maybe you’re allowed to build, travel, train, create, explore, fail, start over and figure it out along the way.

There’s no rule saying you have to fit into one box.

Girl, go do it all ✨

Day 2 in the Azores 🤍

Maybe the life you keep dreaming about is actually built from the decisions you keep postponing.

Taking the trip.
Trying something new.
Choosing freedom.
Starting before you feel ready.

I’m slowly learning that I don’t want to keep waiting for the “right moment” to actually live.

So, here’s to saying yes a little more often 🌊
