entrepreneurship is activism

Learn how to sell what you make, what you do, what you think and who you are.
For every revolution, big or small, requires funds.

“Many women in the entrepreneurial field do not define themselves as entrepreneurs. This can be attributed to modesty and the patriarchy.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneurial_feminism

Understanding what the moving parts are of having a business can turn out to be an indispensable life skill.
Knowing how to make money on your own, how to create something and sell it, is the only skill that allows you to take care of yourself and your loved ones, fully on your own terms.

Industries change, jobs disappear, and the public sector is under seige with every budget cut.
As is your integrity and the standards you are allowed to have.

Entrepreneurship can be done in many ways, but the more visible the more you will reap the personal benefits of personal growth.
Because pushback will arise, because money is power. And money earned independently is even more power.

It is in the visibility of positioning yourself as a leader, you are galvanized into a new you who can stand the heat.

It is there, the Rock Star arises.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.

It is possible to get over your worst breakups and to experience a full healing, without a trace of what you went through.

Not only will your feelings for the person disappear entirely but, like a magic spell, all turmoil will be erased from your memory as well.
Sure, technically, you will still remember what you went through, and where you were when it happened.

Yet you will also be unable to resist the temptation to turn this whole saga into a juicy story.
The emotional layers will have completely disappeared.

However, the bad news is that it was probably this very breakdown where you promised yourself:
“Never again!”
That allowed it to clear up to the point of you not having any emotions with regard to the person or situation.

And it is from that state of being, that I wonder:
“Is what I can give freely, without the risk of grief uprooting my life, is that still enough?”
And if so, then will it also be enough if a new partner is your Sent-By-God-Divinely-Aligned Twin?

Maybe I’ve watched too many romantic movies – well, I certainly have – that I don’t recognize an emotionally healthy and mature relationship.
‘Cause I’d say, at first glance, the risk averse management of the connection equals you not properly feeding it, but starving it.

Until I got an entirely new thought.
Because what if having your emotions under control, is what is actually REQUIRED?
And not just with divine love, but always!
That we go through heartbreak in service of the next connection.
To smoothen it, like a diamond is polished and refined.

Whether you’re in the midst of it right now, or already cracking jokes about it, know this;
You will not just love again.

But you will love even more.

🏎️🏁⏱️Just In Time | CREATOR series w. troll dolls (new video)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

new video on YouTube:
click here to see it
-> https://youtu.be/rj6BguOIlwI

This week episode 6:
“🏎️🏁⏱️Just In Time”

In CREATOR we make our art/content, but you can plan anything with this system.

Welcome to The New Rock Star Channel.
We use the analogy of planning one week of a rock star tour, where the choice for different gigs symbolize the art your post on your social media.

The only rule for these videos is:
– no preparation
Because any process you don’t know by heart, belongs in the trash bin!

video recorded on Tuesday 17 March 2026

In this video;

1. Welcome to a new episode in the CREATOR series 00:00
And we’re turning up the heat, by adding some speed here!
With a more exciting way to plan:
Just In Time planning

2. The Safe Way To Plan 01:18
But before we get into the thrills of Just In Time planning;
Let’s first recap the more relaxed, spacious way to plan your production, which we also discussed in the previous videos.

The safe way to plan, is to separate creating content, from posting it, by one whole week.

What this means is:
– what you post, was content you created last week;
– what you create, is content that you post next week.

3. From being late to being just on time! 02:49
There may be things that won’t get done!
So you will start the week picking up the content which you did not finish in the previous week, because it just didn’t get done.

Which means your work for this week will not get done, and an even bigger chunk of this week’s work will be moved to the next.
And so on.

Until eventually all work is created in the week, or even on the day, it is also posted!

On a long enough timeline, all of creators will be creating Just In Time.

4. The spacious method is the way to start/ begin 05:12
Separating creating from posting, getting everything done in the previous week, allows you to get into the habit of creating content, and also gives you an understanding of the ins-and outs creating every pieces, and gets you to know your posting schedule intimately.

Start small with posting just one or two (pre-produced) pieces a week.
Let it grow to creating more pieces, having more posting days.
And ultimately, to creating the pieces closer to publication date (which will almost happen automatically).

5. Planning your week 07:28
Using the doll house, troll dolls and (laminated) cards that have your pieces of content on them.
(F.e. a card that says (create new) “Reel”)

You put the trolls/ pieces that you select to be created on the first floor, the room of Ready.
Move them through the doll house as you’re doing them.
And
Have them on the top floor (DONE) by the end of the week.

If you crate your pieces a week prior, all trolls are DONE, and in the Dome of Done (on the top floor)
If you create Just in Time, the pieces have been posted as well, and are on the balcony (on the top floor).

The difference between a Just in Time planning and a spacious, stress-free planning, is NOT in what you create!
You create the same.
The difference is in whether you have also shared it, or if this content is still waiting to be shared (next week).

6. Now with a Just in Time planning 13:58
Creating and posting all in one workflow, for one whole week.
The week starts will all pieces lined up (“Ready”) and at the end of the week, all content has been posted (balcony).

Introduction: Keeping pieces in transit
(will dedicate the next video to this – this is just an introduction)
Really big pieces of content can stay in transit, on the floor of Doing.
You can pick them up there next week.

turn to the darkness | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | 29th in the “Lost Posts” series | 2023 08 19

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

turn to the darkness

When the heaviness pulls you down, and unnamed fears make their most unwelcome comeback;
embrace them like a lover returned.

full post* retrieved from Social Media
19 August 2023

There can be many real and identifiable reasons disturbing our faith, emotions, identity.
And at least one of them is Rock Star specific.

For what goes up, must come down.
Euphoria followed by a clingy, needy, unsatisfied anger.
Or intense loneliness.

Like every real Rock Star will tell you, about how they feel in their hotel room afterwards, in particular because they usually travel without a significant other.

Our society has us close to being programmed to wanting a regulated life.
Peak-performance theories try to change that into the ambition to lead an extraordinary life.

But no one could prepare you, for a life where the highs are high, and the inevitable lows have you pondering if maybe…. just maybe;
Should you settle down?

Creatively, in particular.
Who would notice if your high was not that high anymore?
And the extremes were capped to manageable proportions.

Then remember you are doing this because every time you fully engage, with your passion, your work, the things you love and people you love;
The well of love in you is filling up!

And in your fullest expression, it’s flowing out of you.
Regenerating? Yes! But sooner or later also at the same time;
Emptying it out.
Completely.

The darkness you feel inside of you, can only be filled with love;
But WHAT you love, is just a projection.

You, are source.

I only know three women, and that includes one famous one, whom I would call nomads.
And no men.
Ironically, since men are usually the ones portrayed as the drifters, the minimalists, the ones who have detached themselves from material possessions, got over their past, and broke generational spells that were carried over in old memories.

And I don’t know if these three women have really done this inner-work I attribute to their lone wolf status, but that does not take away from how aspirational I find them.

How acutely aware I become of the heaviness of my diaries and notebooks mostly, but paperwork in general.
I have gone over the purpose of keeping them multiple times, and it is like intellectually I stand by it, but emotionally I don’t.

I think it must be somehow linked though to not wanting new furniture, and being thrilled with my old pieces.
They carry so many memories like who gifted it to me, on which flea market I found it, what the special occasion was to buy something new, or what I acquired because the previous tenant left them.

My bed couch has a two-meter long hammock underneath where you could theoretically store your duvet and pillows, but it is used by my cats in case of emergency.
I cut the opening a little wider, so they can still use it now that they’re fully grown.
I was afraid their bigger bodies would otherwise get stuck.

But to replace this squeaky old bed couch?
Never.
It’s my cats’ panic room.

Maybe it’s a good one for 10, 15 years from now, when I no longer have pets.
An endgame to no longer be living in this Akashic library of my life, but to be free of my old self and its remains.
Belong to the earth.
And to carry belonging in my heart.

Rock Star Take On (your) ART
| The New Rock Star Channel
—

The New Rock Star Channel is back!
With a new format:
– 10 minute video
– no preparation

This week, the twenty-seventh video.
A Rock Star Take On (your) ART

video recorded on Tuesday 10 March 2026

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a new episode of a Rock Star Take on;
And today the topic is (your) ART.

More specifically why the art of (non-professional) creatives, is being seen as not of value.

After this video, you will understand the very clear and immediate reason for creativity being marginalized, instead of creativity being cheered on!

2. We Need Your Art 03:50
The work of creativity and art being important is being led by Amie McNee.
You can find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspiredtowrite/
And her highly recommended book is: We Need Your Art (2025)

3. What makes a mature healthy industries 06:00
Before I get into why creativity is not cheered on, I want to get into a little bit of exposition on why “even” from the big picture perspective of art in general;
It is so important to have creatives making their art.

A healthy industry, is a layered one, containing different elements :
A Rock Star level – the faces of the industry, the one everybody knows.
A professional level – a good working business model every professional has access to.
An education system – there needs to be a training for 15-25 y.o. to learn the craft
An amateur level – Aha! Here we have it.

An industry without “normal people” practicing its basics, is not a healthy one.

4. Why non-professional Art and creatives are not encouraged 10:30
It is because you’re not spending any money, so the system of capitalism does not benefit from your hobby. And because you’re not socially contributing.

Not in video but example:
When you go three times a week to your local gym, this is encouraged because:
-you are spending money. You’re contributing to your local economic system
-you are contributing to the social structures around you.
Whereas when you are at home making your art, you do neither.

5. Making art is rebellion 12:22
Being a creative is a very Rock Star thing to do because there is such an anarchistic free-spirited quality to it.

Next up a Rock Star Take On
CHARISMA

It will go out on this blog.

you are either in integrity or not

You know at least two haunting daunting projects or tasks that await you.
One recent and one old.
And you can not do them, and no one would notice.

Retrieved, story added and reposted March 2026

“They’re both old, and I still haven’t done them”
I would say to Suzanne 2023.
Because they are.
Although one of them has definitely cleared up a lot. It should not be such a big deal for me anymore to tackle it (it’s clearing out the basement).

And although I still agree with Suzanne 2023;
I would also argue or reassure her that the KNOWING you’re out of integrity, is really what’s doing the magic here.
Not the acting on it.

The not-being in integrity is in your sloppy, messy, annoyed, I-can’t-even, thoughts about it.
Not in the “it” itself.

In other words: I would say awareness is what brings integrity.
Not the action.

A cleared basement is out of integrity if it was attained by not attending to other more important duties.
Or if you bully your family members into keeping it clean.

It reminds me of when we lived abroad when I was a child. The children of a bunch of families regularly played outside, unsupervised.
And we were given a couple of rules, from which I remember only one, probably because we systematically broke it;
We were not supposed to turn over any rocks, because there could be snakes and scorpions underneath.

With this in mind, we took turns turning the stones, with the other children at safe distance.
The one who turned the stone, flipped it over, immediately fleeing back.
Tiptoeing we’d make our way back, to see what was there.

“We always we were always turning rocks…” I said to my mother, when we were already back in the Netherlands.

She paused then said:
“But you were careful though.”

She had never told me what to do;
She had learned me to be aware.

Gold | 2026 03 10 | That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

I have a guilty pleasure I never told anyone.
It’s not sexual, but it is perverted.

I love it when soft values are tied to capitalist measurements.

It is a form of modern day heresy, when what we need is more respect for what is of real value, instead of willingly contaminating it with financial language.

It started when I was introduced to the concept of Erotic Capital.
I think there was even a book with that name (just checked! true!) which acknowledged that attractiveness but also sexual experience gave you “capital”. Leverage. Bargaining chips.

It’s one of the few paths where there is still economic mobility:
You can still get doors to open, if you play your cards right.

Now obviously there’s a lot to unpack here about patriarchy and how it enforces beauty standards that suppress women and women’s engagement.
But I won’t go there.

When I write I allow myself to not try to figure out the workings of thousand year old power structures, and can even enjoy the guilty pleasures I discovered in them.

Which is that beauty and sex being capital, was gasoline on my already blazing fire.

Until I snapped out of it!
What was I thinking?!
And forgot it, until the topic resurfaced again. Under a different name, but definitely for the same game.

Sexual capital.
Creative capital.
Social capital.
Sexual Power.
The Power of Seduction by Robert Greene.

And ultimately just:
Power.

Because this had been the key:
I wanted power.

It had all started in 1992, with the movie Basic Instinct featuring Sharon Stone.

I was mesmerized by her. And wanted to know what made this woman so powerful.
Not just her estimated assets of 110 million, apparently.

And it was a lot, closer to home.

⌛️📈📋Do THIS, every Friday | CREATOR series w. troll dolls (new video)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

new video on YouTube:

-> https://youtu.be/JQJk3_zTS98

This week episode 5:
“⌛️📈📋Do THIS, every Friday”

In CREATOR we make our art/content, but you can plan anything with this system.

Welcome to The New Rock Star Channel.
We use the analogy of planning one week of a rock star tour, where the choice for different gigs symbolize the art your post on your social media.

The only rule for these videos is:
– no preparation
Because any process you don’t know by heart, belongs in the trash bin!

video recorded on Monday 9 March 2026

In this video;

1. Welcome to a new episode in the CREATOR series 00:00
And fingers crossed it’s a one-taker!
Because this series always turns out to be far more complicated than I anticipate…

2. Types of planning 00:20
Content Planning?
Not quite!
Because as a creative your planning is different to the content planning of a business.

For you, improvement is not in a (better) Content Planning, but in your:
Production Planning.

I distinguish two types of creators:
the CREATOR
and
the MESSENGER
Both will be discussed in this video.

NEW 2026:
Want to work together on this?
The CREATOR and MESSENGER now have matching programs.
You can find them both here:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/current-offer/

Topics in this video:

– The Week Review (Do THIS, every Friday!)
What you could be doing every week.
The different elements are:
🥳 REVIEW
🧐 RETROSPECT
🦸🏻‍♂️SELECT
📆PLANNING

– The MESSENGER
Introduction to this different type of creator, who does not work with a content calendar and whose week review will also look different.

3. THE PREVIOUS WEEK (your recap) 05:20
🦸🏻‍♂️SELECT
Your week started with selecting what pieces you wanted to post this week.
Your ideal output.
💻🎸🎨🎬 CREATE
You’ve spent the week creating this.
But!
💡 You got a lot of ideas
And
💻🎸🎨🎬created two extra pieces

4. REVIEW 12:12
What you created
This is the first step, and name bearer of your Friday review

Q: What will you be reviewing?
A: The selection of:
– everything you posted last week (what’s “on the balcony”, our social media)
+
– everything you already created (it’s on the dollhouse topfloor in the Dome of Done), but will not be posted until next week.

The laminated cards I use under the trolls on the topfloor (balcony and Dome of Done), can be collected and provide an overview of everything that we created.

5. RETROSPECTIVE 15:33
This is not “What” you have created, but HOW you have created.

Anything:
– unexpected
– or that failed
– or that was a success
Can be learned from.
Every lesson improves your creative production process.

6. 🦸🏻‍♂️SELECT 18:22
The pieces you want in your content/ posting calendar.

This is also the point where you may consider coming up with a recipe;
So instead of inventing the wheel every week, make a blueprint, assigning different days to different types of content.
Having a rhythm to your week, makes creating so much easier.
It takes the guesswork out of it, if you know what to make.

The trolls/ pieces you want to be creating this week, go into the Room of Ready on the first floor.

7. The Planning 21:50
When are you going to create these pieces?
By far the most complicated step!
In Scrum, the system underpinning this process, the planning step takes the longest.

You do not have to plan out your whole week, just the first few days so you can get started.

As you go through your week, the term priority and prioritization are important.
You’re in a dance with your pieces of content, moving around what needs to go first and what can wait until later.

The art of creating with limited time, unexpected things, etc, is one that grows overtime.

Reviewing pays off in learning lessons every week;
And making every week easier and more pleasurable.

8. The MESSENGER 24:05
Introduction to this new type of creator, which I will be highlighting and telling more about in future videos.

The next CREATOR series with troll dolls
will go out on this blog.

brush yourself off and start again

Compliment yourself for parting with the old
For staying the course, no matter how far lost you got

Celebrate, because today you are exactly where you need to be

I have to say, I was a bit stunned at how much I needed to hear this message, 2.5 years after writing those opening words…

As if I pulled a super-matching oracle card from a deck I do not own, or Instagram served me a post from an unknown account.
And I saved it as background picture for my phone:
“My luck! This is just what I need!” 

Because the times they are achanging.
And I am at that point where you have your swimming cap and goggles on, at the edge of the pool.
Taking a very deep, slightly hurdled and emotional breath, knowing this is the only way forward.

The management summary is this:
My work will be limited to 40h a week, including content creation.
And this is new.

My creativity has always come first, but because of this my workhours have gotten completely and utterly out of hand.
In particular if I include what I will call:
“Creative loss.”
Which is being “sidetracked” by my creative mind, which cannot function in a minimalist productivity environment.

Creativity needs wandering, and in my case that wandering was often online.
The tabs on my computer have been like windows to the world, and I no longer want that;

I want my window to be 100% connected to real people!

And then, maybe, a tiny bit to education too. But very targeted, very specific.
And within the 8 hours.

And at 18.00?
This window will close.
On weekends?
Dito.
To give more breathing room to my social life, but also;
To start curating my 20 year big body of work.

*soft sigh*

A task of Herculean proportions.

And a journey that starts like all the others, with a single step or an insecure dive.

And more often than not;
Alone.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.
