The making of my universe

Good afternoon my dear followers of my blog and readers of my posts,

today is a really wonderful warm saturday with bright sunshine and blue sky here in Vinhedo, Sao Paulo, where I live. I have just quit the online training session about digital Marketing of the Future, where I have participated during the last 6 hours since 8am.

I like to participate in online events and I especially love to participate in online trainings about subjects which are interesting and useful for me and my new entrepreneurial activities. It`s good to “eat” brain food and to learn new exciting contents from experienced creators and developpers.

You might call me crazy for this, but I am deeply convinced that You have to be passionate and obsessive if You are getting started as an independent entrepreneur. And that`s exactly what I have become since the beginning of this year.

I admit that last year, when my CEO told me that my headquarter has decided, to retire me at the end of August 2024, I was – let`s say – impressed. And I also admit frankly that I had serious difficulties to conform myself with this decision and perspective.

On one hand I was terribly proud that I would thus be able to hand over “my” brazilian company to my sucessor in perfect state and once again – like already during the years 2021 and 2022 – with the best ever business year – in all relevant dimensions, means with regards to net sales, operating result EBIT and profit – accomplished during the meanwhile 50 years long history of our brazilian subsidiary.

But on the other hand I had massive dificulties to understand, why the hell I needed to leave this company if everything under my responsability and control was wonderful. I mean – to use an analogy – we all don`t know to many cases of highly successful soccer team coaches, who have been winning all championships, but have been made redundant by their clubs.

Finally I understood that the main reason for me to retire was that obviously that I have been to young for my company. And once I reached this conviction, it made me proud and happy. Now I really am just thankful for my headquarter`s wise decision.

I feel like a bird whose cage someone opened so that it could escape. And released birds – as we all know – do not return to their former cages…

In my new liberty I have since earlier this year started to develop systematically my own business ideas.

My first important decision was to reactivate my own consulting company KFH IM & Consulting Services Ltda (http://kfhservices.com), which I had put asleep, but never closed, 10 years ago, when I became President of Vulkan do Brasil as permanent employee. But I decided to upgrade it with an extended service portfolio and to give it a completely new professional visual identity.

For the first time since I opened my company 15 years ago in Recife, after my return to Brazil from Mexico, I am offering as well B2B as B2C services for my global customers.

My B2B service portfolio includes now general interim management, all kinds of business consulting services including business development support, sales support as well as professional trainings, speeches, presentations and also mentoring and coaching for individuals and groups of executives and managers.

As B2C services I am now offering for the first time professional and personal mentoring and coaching services for individuals.

As mentionned above, I have meanwhile approved the new visual identity of my company KFH IM & Consulting Services Ltda (kfhservices.com) and I have together with my great friends and fantastic marketing supporters from Amplia Soluções e Consultoría (https://amplia.derybr.com.br/) developped my initial brandnew branding concept.

This goes along with the development of the visual identies for all my brands, the registration of the brand rights under my name and the purchase of all relevant brand internet domain names in Brazil and in the USA.

I can proudly say that I have the best, highly qualified and extremely agile brazilian professional colaborators when it comes to my digital marketing service providers Amplia Soluções e Consultoría (https://amplia.derybr.com.br/), my law firms – general & IP protection – Sperling Advogados (https://sperling.adv.br/) and Luiz Leonardos Intellectual Property (https://llip.com/) and to my accounting service providers LCR Contadores (https://lcrcontadores.com.br/), which I have chosen and contracted already.

For my B2C professional mentoring and coaching services I have registered my own new brand S4H Services 4 Humans and for my B2C personal mentoring and coaching I have registered my own new brand ItsMyLife.

D-day is September 1st, when fully in accordance with my – then – former employer Vulkan, I will be totally free to do what and how I love to do.

Interesting remark. Vulkan did not limit me with respect to supply ANY services for competitors of Vulkan. I really found this surprising and I am open to talk to whoever is interested in my services from September 1st on.

Within the restructuring and relaunch of the new extended service portfolio for my consulting company KFH IM & Consulting Services Ltda I developped the idea to include one brandnew, unique and extremely fancy and promising business idea which – after conversation with several trustful and highly experienced friends – I finally decided to develop as a totally new, independent start-up company, which I pretend to launch to the markets durin Q1 2025 under the already registered brand name S4B Services 4 Businesses.

You can trust me – my partners and I will very positively impress You once we publicly unhide and launch our start-up until in the latest March 2025.

But my thoughts went further. I decided that the time has come to start with the creation of my own virtual community, which I will soon launch under the already registered brand name Tribo do Klaus (Klaus`s Tribe).

All this is constantly beeing developped further and – as I see it today – there will finally be three active players in my ecosystem Universo do Klaus (Klaus`s Universe), which I – for sure – also have already registered as my own new brand incl. the internet domains etc.

I always find it extremely exciting to watch videos about our universe.

Right now my partners and service providers from the different companies with all kinds of professional experiences and expertise and I are full speed determining the visual identities of all my new brands and we are finishing the technical tools and process definitions and set up`s for my community Tribo do Klaus and my ecosystem Universo do Klaus.

Last not least – since August 1st – our highly experienced and skilled friend Laura is supporting me fulltime with content creation and traffic for all my professional social media profiles and other important creative activities within my ecosystem Universo do Klaus and my virtual community Tribo do Klaus.

I hope all this excites You as well. What I truly can promise You is, that this is just the beginning. My brain is full of many more fancy business ideas and projects, which will not take longer than necessary to go live.
