Why you deserve to become a world-class innovator…
According to the World Economic Forum, there are 10 skills that people will need for 2025.
The Reinvention Club covers five of them:
- Innovation and analytical thinking
- Creativity, originality and initiative
- Reasoning, problem solving and ideation
- Critical thinking and analysis
- Flexibility and resilience
That means learning to innovate faster and at minimal risk now — is not just a smart skill to have; it’s essential.
It’s YOUR time, YOUR year—and YOUR opportunity to create a *catalytic* change in your business results.
Your future customers are searching desperately for innovative solutions to their new and existing needs and desires. And there has never been a better time to get in on the action and help the people searching desperately for innovative solutions YOU can create.
Maybe you don’t feel like an “innovator”, or you often question your innovation abilities. Mia Culpa!
The Breakthrough Innovator Program was designed to show you how to turn your ideas into paychecks. Breakthrough Innovator shows you how to replace inertia with proven innovation skills. Skills that are easy to learn and powerful to use allowing you to turn that niggling feeling of wanting to innovate successfully - into a reality.
No more sitting around thinking about ‘what ifs’. No more falling back on excuses when opportunities arise. You can create the innovation you want while, at the same time, positively changing your industry and the lives of your customers.
Want to know who makes it in this innovative world?
It’s not the brainiest or tech-savvy innovators. It’s the ones willing to “learn and adapt.” Because they’re committed to finding creative and innovative ways to “build business solutions” or “offerings that lead their industry.”
There’s room for you at the table, fellow innovator. And I’m here to give you a helping hand every step of the way. If you decide to join us, I can assure you that your mindset and results will completely transform together over the next 12 months.
I can’t wait to welcome you to Breakthrough Innovator and cheer you on your way to success.
Cheers,
Nils

The program is accountability based. Can you share what the accountability or mentoring is like?
People have no shortage of ideas. What they usually lack is the support to help them validate and build them and have the accountability to make sure they get acted on.
Together we set your goals and activities for each month and quarter. We also identify if you’re aiming to high or low and work through any potential obstacles to achieving them.
Each time we catch up, we review your progress and if things aren’t progressing as they should be you can expect a direct, frank conversation challenging you on your progress.
Bottom line is if you’re not achieving your goals through lack of action, you’ll soon change your attitude and effort.
