Four goals that replaced each other
Repeat · 1 November 2026
Each goal replaced the one before, and that's how it stands here:
- As a boy: only tech. The endless possibilities of the digital world. That still fascinates me more than anything.
- From about 2008: my own start-up, a big business. Business interested me just as much as tech. I had my first issue of WirtschaftsWoche at about 17, when it was time to choose a career. I don't remember it more precisely than that.
- Around 2019/2020, with minimalism: no big business anymore. A billion wouldn't have given me anything a million doesn't, and a start-up would have cost me what I want to keep: the decision. Outside money overrules everything in the end.
- 2026: stop selling my time. What counts isn't the size of the business, it's who owns my hours.
