This summer, Doors Open Female Hub is the place to be for female entrepreneurs, local & digital nomads. Our extensive summer program in June, July and August is the ideal (summer) cocktail of working, learning, networking and relaxing!

Do you want to enjoy the amazing summer feeling but also be productive and build your business at the same time? Sign up for Business & Beach, our special summer concept. Between July 1st and August 15th 2019 you have the opportunity to work for only €19 per day (excl VAT and EventBrite fee) at the Female Hub – the number 1 coworking space for ambitious women. That is less than €2,50 per hour for:

Your own flex space in a bright and inspiring office in The Hague center
Unlimited coffee, tea and water
Ultrafast WiFi
A private garden to enjoy your lunch (fridge and microwave are available) get new inspiration
The possibility to brainstorm and network with other female entrepreneurs

After having been very productive at the Female Hub for a whole day, within 15 minutes you are at Scheveningen beach to feel the sand between your toes! For a nice beach walk, a delicious snack, a surfing lesson or spontaneous networking drinks with other women from the Female Hub… Digital nomad vibe, anyone?

You can come as often as you want. You can reserve your spot – depending on availability – at any time, even on the same day. This way we offer you summerly freedom at its best.

After a SOLD OUT first edition in April we are now organizing a second one!

One of the ways to generate more clients and more revenue is by blogging. There are even people who earn their full income through this and can therefore work completely/partially location independent. Even if it is not your goal to become a digital nomad who shares his/her travel adventures online and is able to earn their next ticket to another tropical destination by doing this, blogging can be a very interesting method to attract more clients and generate income.

Under Nathalie van Wijkvliet’s guidance, you’ll get started on the basic principles of succesful blogging. Even if you have never written a blog before you can join this masterclass!

What we learn with pleasure, we never forget”,

a quote once written by the American poet Alfred Mercier. And that’s great, because we have the perfect way to learn and boost your business in the most fun way possible this summer: The Female Hub Summer School. After a SOLD OUT edition in 2018, we are back with a new and improved version in 2019.

Are you an entrepreneur or do you want to start your own business? And do you recognize this:

… I have a lot of ideas, but I don’t know how to make them concrete.

… I keep making up excuses why this ‘isn’t the right moment’ to follow my dreams. I keep postponing it.

… I often doubt if I can actually do it and notice that I’m insecure about my work.

… I really want to take my business to the next level but I don’t know how.

… I don’t know how to tell my ‘story’. How do I make sure that I am visible and that I stand out between other competitors?

… I need a push in the right direction and would like to brainstorm with other entrepreneurs about what works and what doesn’t work.

Do you recognise yourself in these statements? Then don’t hesitate and follow the Summer School here to be the first one to get a SUPER early bird ticket. Ticket sales start on Wednesday May 15th.

In this masterclass you will learn in 2 hours that there are only 6 buttons you have to press in order to build a kick-ass brand. After knowing these buttons EVERYONE wants to buy your products or services.

Does this sound to good to be true? That is because it is…

There is no standard recipe how to build a strong brand. What works for one brand, doesn’t work at all for the other one. In this masterclass, you will work on your own recipe for success. You sink your teeth into these topics:

A product for everyone is a product for nobody: you will be challenged to look critically at your target audience. Step by step you will determine who your ideal customer is. And that will be way more detailed than “30 year old women from The Hague”
The pitch: You will craft your story. What makes your brand unique? How is your product or service different than your competitors?
The competition: Speaking of competition… Who are your competitors? You will get eye-opening insights and will learn that your competitors are not always who you think they are.
I am not on Snapchat. And that’s fine: you will make a solid plan which marketing channels will work for you.
Plan, plan, plan: you will learn how to develop a solid campaign and content plan and why it is so important to start on time.
How scary, I mean… How cool is this? You will discover that sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone to build a strong brand. And you will learn how to do this.
The essential tool kit. You will get practical tips & trics about which tools you can use to build your brand.

ABOUT THE TRAINER

This masterclass will be taught by Nathalie van Wijkvliet. If there is anyone who can tell you how to build a kick-ass brand, it’s Nathalie. Ten years ago, she was part of the launch of the innovative book concept “Dwarsligger”. She raised 1,5 million dollars through crowdfunding for hardware start-up Ockel Computers and helped to turn Doors Open Female Hub into a success in less than 6 months time. She turned her own company, My Happy Footprint, into a profitable business in less than a year and earned a spot on the #Viva400 list. She knows better than anyone else how to get the attention from the right target audience for an unknown product or service.

ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS

This masterclass can either be joined “stand-alone” or as part of the Female Hub Summer School program. For more information about the Female Hub Summer School, visit the Doors Open Female Hub website.

We all have dreams. And 2019 will be the year to finally make these dreams a reality. Some of us dream of running a successful business, others of a quiet Bed & Breakfast in Spain… Maybe you are constantly thinking about a new job. Or you want to run a marathon. Instagram shows us the most beautiful pictures of people who already turned their dreams into reality. But what about your dreams?

Don’t worry, I (Suzanne Mau-Asam) know exactly how you feel. How difficult it can be to make your dreams come true. But I also know that it IS possible.

How do you make sure that your dreams turn into reality? That they don’t just stay dreams? That is what this masterclass is all about.

You will set your goal, make choices, a plan of approach and FOCUS. You discover your internal motivation and will learn how, step by step, you’ll get closer in reaching your goal. At the end of this masterclass you are ready to realize your dream within 90 days!

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS MASTERCLASS?

Making a vision board: you will visualize a “What if everything is possible?” dream life.
Setting goals: How do you get from the “Everything is possible” dream life to SMART and realistic goals?
Commitment and conditions: what do you need to realize your dream life?
