Why You Need A Guide
Nearly 80% of all first and second time projects with China end up more expensive than anticipated. Over 20% of entrepreneurs spend 3 times more on their first project than expected. 68% of these projects are considered a failure because of the negative balance sheet and 45% because of not receiving products according to specifications.
Experience shows that in most cases, this could have been avoided
Entrepreneurs seek support from consulates, chambers of commerce and business relations when preparing for working with China. However, these resources are often not specialized to solve the project specific challenges.
In fact, most of my clients are referred to me by consulates, organizations and friends!
Build your success on my 10 years experience in China
In May 2011 I moved to China after managing a multi-million dollar order for two months in 2010. In the first year, I assessed over 100 LED display manufacturers, leading to an order of Nokia for custom designed, 3-meter high headphones shaped LED tradeshow furniture which we delivered on time and within budget.
Since then, I have worked as consultant and project manager on dozens of custom development projects in LED display and from IP cameras to fire extinguishers and from Android based GPS systems to self-help testers.
100% of my clients receive higher quality products for less money from China
In 2016, I co-founded our makerspace TroubleMaker. Since then, we have received over 16,000 visitors. Approximately 2,000 have enjoyed one or more of our services and over 200 projects have been developed under the guidance of designers, engineers and other specialists from our network.
Reported cost savings vary from 15,000 to 120,000 USD per project.
In 2020, 90% of all projects have been delivered remotely by means of online coaching and creating China based teams to support entrepreneurs that are not able to travel to China.

FITS IN EVERY AGENDA

FAST AND EFFICIENT
Most of my clients need way less than a year to reach their goal. However, you can remain scheduling calls for the full year. For example, for a new project.
Here Is How It Works
At the start of our cooperation, we schedule an intake call of about 45 minutes. In this call, we determine your current position and set your goals. From then, you have access to my agenda for one full year and you can schedule as many coaching calls in it as you need to succeed with your project.
The calls are conducted on Zoom. In most cases we will use video to enhance the conversation. The recordings are available to you in your private support area. Each call will be 15 minutes long.
At the end of the call, you receive a simple to perform assignment which also shows up in written form in your private support area. You can schedule your next call after uploading your report to your private support area. This ensures that you implement each step of the process. Completing an assignment can take as less as 30 minutes, but you are free to take as much time as you need.

What Makes Me Different
In the '80s, I envisioned the iPad after seeing a laptop with a foldable touch screen. However, I lacked the knowledge, skills and funds to bring my vision to life. The same is true for other ideas I had until I joined a company that provided the resources and gave me the freedom to create a disruptive new product that made them market leader within 2 years' time.
In 2016, I started TroubleMaker to empower every dreamer to become an entrepreneur and to empower entrepreneurs to change the world. I live my dream life in which I help people like you reach goals.
I've been tinkering with electronics, chemistry and scale models as a teenager. Started my first company when I was 23 and bankrupted it. Started my second company when I was 30 and sold it when I was 37. Studied 3 years to become Master-Practitioner in NLP and was trained by a WOSTEP certified trainer as a Watch Maker. I have developed the SportLED Soccer LED Perimeter System, helped Nokia creating their 3-meter high, headphones shaped LED Arch and developed a fully functioning French fries vending machine. As founder of TroubleMaker, I have coached entrepreneurs to realizing their hardware projects in China.
I am immensely passionate about helping people ahead in life. Seeing people blossom from my support and create a better situation for themselves and their family gives me the feeling of growing as a human being.
My mission is to make this world a better place to live for everyone on it. This goal is impossible to reach as a single person, so I scale and accelerate my results by helping other people reach sustainable goals.
