Hello steemians,
It's the FNG in the house here, introducing myself to the community here.
It all happened just over 24 years ago when, by a stroke of fate, the most amazing man on earth may have been born (idk, lol). It also happens to be around the time that I was born. Coincidence? Definitely!
Anyway my name's Maikel and I'm your not so average Dutch guy, meaning I'm one of the few who's never smoked weed (even though it's legal here). I know, I know... I do make up for it by drinking plenty of beer, just to stay hydrated of course. ;)
Other than that I'm an aspiring entrepreneur. Haven't started any business yet, but constantly learning the skills that would be needed. I've been to university here before, but I've never really bothered graduating. The classroom style wasn't really for me, and I felt like it wasn't the best place for me to learn the right skills.
That being said, I do study a lot on my own:
I'm constantly learning about things like marketing (especially online marketing), personal development, leadership, economics, investing and the like. I was thinking of sharing some snippets of knowledge here on Steemit, if there's any interest. Just let me know below if you'd like to learn about any of those topics.
Here's to connecting a face to the words. Cheers!
Besides drinking beer and occasionally getting FUBAR, I like playing video games and watching anime (currently in progress with One Piece). I also play a sport called "Korfbal", which I assume most of you haven't heard of before. Don't worry though, I forgive you! ;) It's not really that well known outside of the Netherlands and Belgium, but I suppose it's most comparable to basketball. Here's a summary of a game if anyone's interested.
I'm currently working at Bavaria, the brewery (ironic, I know). Not something I'd like to do long term, but it earns money while I think about what I really want to do.
"That's all folks"

Looking forward to connecting with some fellow steemians!
If there's anything you'd still like to know feel free to ask it here or in the chat. I'll be creating my account there shortly, but the username will be the same as here (assuming it's available).
