Building a Bridge between Advancement & Aspirations
!
An inspiring journey in text and images: allow a Personal Trailblazer! to guide you
towards making decisions based on your own core values.

5. Reaching the other side, all on your own
At one time, your life was one big adventure; the sky was
the limit. The world around you was safe and sound.
Then, your mind begins to wander towards the future.
You want to grow up to follow in your Dad’s footsteps.
Or perhaps: become a firefighter instead. Like your
father's best friend. Step by step you boldly venture to
find out what you can get away with. And with what you
cannot. Stumbling is not an issue; you just get back on
your feet again. Of course, you aim to be all you can be.
The first challenge presents itself. You take a deep breath
and start to run. At the last minute you jump, a giant leap
towards freedom. You beam with pride. You have reached
the other side, all on your own.

7. Laying a sturdy Foundation
Your ambitions exceed the boundaries of the world as
you know it. Opportunities are there for the taking. You
spot possibilities that others tend to overlook. You love
your trade; it never ceases to inspire and energize you.
Hobby and work are one and the same. Your motto is:
"Do what you love to do and you'll never have to work."
And you yourself are the living proof. Day in, day out.
You are building a foundation for the future, one brick at
a time. For yourself. For your family. For your
employees, who stand by you through thick and thin.
You push forward, step by step. Exceeding limitations
and restrictions. Your endurance catches on and
transgresses borders.

9. Taking Pride in your Achievements
Your life story is a success story. Each page deriving from
your own hand. An accomplishment which you are
immensely proud of. Even so, at times your feelings of
pride make way for notions of doubt. Naturally, given time
uncertainty often proves to be the basis for security. You
are accustomed to weighing the pros and cons before you
make your decisions. Now, your doubts seem to follow a
different tune. The fortress you built, is strong enough. It
can hold its own. You sense that the story of your life is
not yet comprehensive. The final chapter consists of
numerous blank pages. These are destined to portray some
long-cherished aspiration. Where business is concerned,
you are used to capturing opportunities. Are you up to
seizing this chance as well? To lay down your own saga?

11. Dreaming about the Future
Financially, you're doing very well. The world is at your
feet. And the sky is the limit. Your business outperforms
the competition in absolute terms as well as by
comparison. Your assets open doors that for others stay
closed. But do you also have the ability to rise to the
occasion yourself? Do you invest enough time and energy
in self-development? Or does the gate to your personal
ambitions remain ajar? If everyday issues prevail on your
calendar, you are building imaginary castles in the air.
And these dissolve as time goes by. So stop dreaming.
Dreams are only worthwhile when they are made to
materialize.

13. Looking ahead
The range of your horizon fully depends on the
perspective you take on. Those who close their eyes will
never accomplish long-cherished aspirations. Your
dreams and heart's desires are also within reaching
distance. No need therefore to look beyond the horizon.
Let it go, take in a new position and change your
perspective. Your Personal Trailblazer
will help you to
uncover the true core values in your life. In joint effort,
he will enable you to refocus on your drives, ambitions,
preferences, dreams and aspirations. This way your
horizon will slowly but surely come within reach.

15. Voicing your Heart's Desire
Fulfilling a dream starts with expressing it. Let your
partner, family members, friends, colleagues and business
relations know about your lifetime dream. Your approach
to business is already set in stone. Van Hoof Life
Assessments will help to articulate your vision on life
itself. This is no small task. It requires courage to make
and take the time within a daily full schedule. Do you
have the guts to pull down day-to-day barriers?
Do you dare take on the challenge to really think outside
the box... and to leap? Your Personal Trailblazer is there
to guide you. Van Hoof Life Assessments facilitates
journeys during which you will prove empowered and
able to identify exactly what really counts in your life.

17. Building Bridges
The gap between aspirations and reality can, in fact, be
overcome. The trick is to design and build a bridge
between financial ambitions and personal aspirations.
Van Hoof Life Assessments offers the tools and expertise
to tackle such a project. The first step of our joint
expedition is to establish mutual trust. Then comes the
time to roll up our sleeves; to reflect, to incite, to
challenge, to consider and to anticipate. Together, we will
eliminate any obstacles along the way. Your path will
reveal itself, one step at a time. Right up to the point that
your aspiration becomes a reality. And you have reached
the other side, all on your own.

19. Preparing for the Plunge
A dive into your future requires you to step out of your
comfort zone. In order to prepare for that plunge, we will
select a motivating location. Van Hoof Life Assessments
can recommend several inspiring places within Europe
and beyond. Needless to say, your own preference is
crucial in this respect. The "Life Assessments" method
requires more than a mere investment in time and capital.
It focusses on triggering your creativity and personal
inner energy. If you are ready to invest in yourself, I
cordially invite you to an experience which will enrich
and transform your life.

Roel van Hoof (Eindhoven 1956), Your Personal Trailblazer!
The slogan "Roaming the world" has several meanings, all of which
can be found in every aspect of my life. For me, elementary questions with regard to coaching or otherwise - are always part of a greater
concept. After all, in order to form a bridge between personal growth
and aspirations, it is necessary to examine the complete picture.
Aspirations and expectations will then form an equilibrium and the
bases for optimum decision-making.
Since 1990, I have been counseling individuals and organizations
through my unique method called: The Trailblazer Principle !
