Doing what you want, how you want, where you want and with whom you want, that has always been my top goal. My name is Christian, I'm 41 and I come from beautiful Hamburg. I moved here from Poland with my parents when I was three and a half.
My father was an entrepreneur, and my mother worked just as many late nights as he did. We saw each other relatively little. Money was less of an issue, but time was. And time is sometimes more valuable than money. Ideally you have both; with us, one of them was always missing. I wanted to change that for my future.
I come from competitive sport, I'm a passionate athlete and I love people. I asked myself how I could combine that: what I learned in sport, hard work, discipline, perseverance, ambition, old values and virtues that have somehow got lost in the age of Facebook and YouTube, but that definitely get you to your goal. Combined with humanity, integrity and a genuine interest in people.
In 2005 I came across what I consider a wonderful business that brings exactly this together. I can work self-determined and free, choose who I work with and when, and the pay works for me, provided of course that I put in the effort. […] For me it's about combining several things: time for my family, travelling when and where we want, and of course the money has to be right too.
I found this with a company that has been on the market for over 30 years, that I consider reputable and of very high quality, with premium products, world-class athletes as references, and a lot of humanity and heart.
What should you bring? You should be communicative, enjoy your work, have an optimistic outlook on life and love people. I'll show you the rest. If this speaks to you and you sometimes ask yourself, like I did back then: Is that all there is? Can there be more? Isn't there much more in me than everyone, including myself, ever believed? Then get in touch with me and we'll see what we can do for you.
