Dirk Van Reenen is today's guest on the Join Up Dots business coaching podcast. He is the founder an visionary of an amazing and motivational company Bergflow. Bergflow is a company that helps other businesses tackle huge obstacles, whilst finding the least resistance. As the name says "BERG" - Mountain (in Afrikaans - South African). It's a symbol of power, magnitude and vastness. A mountain represents challenges, and challenges represent opportunities. Whilst Flow - Known as "the zone", is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, involvement, and enjoyment in the process. Dirk is an award-winning entrepreneur and sought after international business consultant and speaker. Launching and selling several startup companies and was also one of the top Brokerage CEO's for Keller Williams Realty International, leading one of the fastest growing brokerages for Keller Williams worldwide in 2016. How The Dots Joined Up For Dirk But as we see time and time again in Join Up Dots, there comes a time when the path starts going in a different direction. And this happened to our guest, as back in 2016 , Dirk discovered a deeper purpose and re-evaluated everything he was doing and the path he was on. He made some huge changes including resigning from his corporate CEO position, shutting down one of his businesses, and relocating across the United States to launch BERGflow in January of 2017. Today, Dirk has been blessed to work with companies in 13 states, 4 countries, and on 3 continents, following his purpose: Empowering Entrepreneurs, CEO's, and Leaders to build powerful and productive teams and helping them grow and scale their businesses while giving them a better quality of life with more fulfilment. And it seems that Bergflow is the legacy work that his life has been building up to. So when he decided to throw it all in the air and reinvent his life was it truly scary time, or liberation from start to finish? And looking back what could he have done differently if he had the wisdom of experience at his fingertips? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Dirk van Reenen Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Dirk van Reenen such as: Dirk shares the steps he took back in 2013 to block out distractions and change his outlook to find true passion and mastery. Why if you really want to find the true passion in your career, you simply must endure the pain that comes with starting something new. We discuss the importance of knowing yourself, and then surrounding yourself with people who make you better at being yourself. And lastly…….. When you can stop looking and comparing with others how your life can feel light and free.

For a lot of business owners, the pandemic has cost them their livelihood. For example, Yelp! recently shared that 55% of the businesses using their platform which closed down due to the pandemic aren't coming back. What's a business team to do when you're looking at those kinds of numbers? How can you avoid having to close down?The answer, I believe, is all about being able to make a pivot. And this is something we've been discussing in great detail on the show.Unfortunately, for some business teams, pivoting might not be too obvious. Sure, curb service and delivery for some restaurants makes sense, but what if your restaurant wasn't so much a restaurant, but a bar? What if you're reliant on a market that's not doing so great right now such as realty?Today's guest, Dirk van Reenen, excels at helping teams focus on the foundations of business and how they scale their businesses in ways that they might not have noticed before. In fact, with the future looking like things will be changing faster and faster, it's important that all businesses know how to quickly pivot.So what does that look like? Well, the first thing is all about building the right team - and that's where today's conversation takes us.Listen in as Andy and I learn more about Dirk's business BERGflow and how it might benefit those of us going through or preparing to go through a hard time.Enjoy!

The world where senior executives, business owners, and leaders operate can be rather lonely. They manage the business and communicate with partners and clients, all while maintaining their teams. How do they, then, find psychological safety within a group where they can share with peers to help them grow their businesses, while at the same time, develop their lives? Joining us in today's podcast episode is Dirk van Reenen. Dirk is an award-winning entrepreneur and a highly sought-after business consultant and speaker. He is the founder and CEO of BERGflow, and this year, he has been named the new CEO of GoBundance. Dirk's purpose is to empower fellow entrepreneurs, CEOs, and leaders to help them grow and scale their teams and business while giving them fulfilment with a better quality of life. Check out the critical points of this episode in the highlights below. Don't forget to tune in to the podcast to know more about the journey to living an epic life.   The Start of GoBundance (3:16) The founders were all entrepreneurs who started to hold each other accountable in reaching their goals.  They started focusing on their health and their relationships. What they saw was a powerful core beginning to develop—men stepping up to hold each other accountable and challenge each other toward significant success. As people become more successful, they become more isolated to the point where they are not comfortable with their friends and family anymore.  GoBundance is a community where you can come in and share your challenges and struggles openly. You will be held accountable and get fantastic advice and masterminding from other highly successful people. GoBundance vs. the Traditional Mastermind (07:16) GoBundance looks at a more holistic view of the person. They have a term in GoBundance “a whole life millionaire.” GoBundance's six pillars: age-defying health, authentic relationships, bucket list adventures, extreme accountability, genuine contribution, and horizontal or passive income. During large and small trips, after having a strong start to your day and experiencing that adrenaline rush, you get a higher level of creativity, and you get to think outside the box. There is a lot of connectivity within the tribe, even outside events. They have an active community, and they conduct weekly or bi-weekly meetings together. They each want to be open about their challenges and create an environment for engagement. Criteria and Process to Become a Member (11:35) You have to be at an accredited investor level. They have an application process to make sure that the right kind of culture comes into the tribe. They don't just look at your success; they want to see how you're giving back to the community and your organization. They have a 30-day onboarding process to help people integrate into the tribe. Most people don't understand how influential the people that they're around within their lives. People can affect you negatively, even when they believe they're helping you. When you're in the company of people who inspire you, the bar gets higher. You get a mindset that you can achieve whatever you set out to make. The Six Effects That Are Determining the Destiny of Your Life  (19:22) 1st: The influence effect 2nd: The multiplier effect 3rd: The accountability effect 4th: The authenticity effect 5th: The purpose effect 6th: The connection effect Book Recommendations and Rituals (37:39) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill The Fish That Ate The Whale by Samuel Zemurray The thought behind the Miracle Morning says that you start every morning with no outside distractions. It is how can you connect with who you are, what your purpose is, what's important to you, and what your intentions are for the day before you ever encounter them. "The first thing that I do in the morning is I get up and drink a big glass of water, make myself a cup of coffee, and then I get on my spin bike. That's a part of starting my day; I love working out and getting sweaty. After that, I typically just kind of sit, relax a little bit and cool off, then I'll take a cold shower. And after that, I get into starting to do some journaling, meditating, planning my day. And then my goal is to spend time with my family before kids go off to school, and then I'm ready to encounter the day." Dirk explains that consistency with his routine brings him more energy and focus.   You can connect more with Dirk on the BERGflow website and through his LinkedIn profile.
