When I first wrote down my whole breaktroug story it was way too long to share here, so finally I have a shorter version to share. An Insta version of it will be posted in a few days if you want to follow it there at «@sivharstad» I grew up on a small sheep farm on the west coast of Norway and did everything “right.” MSc in Business. Corporate career. Management roles. Good salary. Traveling, skiing, partying, concerts. A fast-paced life that looked successful from the outside.

Today, I’m rebuilding from a different place. I’m selling what I need to sell, releasing what no longer fits, and dedicating myself to my real work:
