Thekrizzl in interview: Hearing Aid Acoustics & Dancing on Social Media

Lisa-Marie — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 11:00:35 +0000

Interview with Thekrizzl – Krizzl loves one thing above all: dancing! She is a content creator on TikTok and Instagram and shares dance content there. Especially her own choreographies, dance challenges, dance collaborations, such as with Ivana Santacruz or Ave, and tutorials can be found on Krizzl’s social media channels. But that’s not all. She also likes to share beauty, hauls and DIY projects with her community. Find out more about the red-haired beauty here!

Krizzl about wedding, dancing & her hair

In this interview Krizzl talks to us about her wedding. To be more precise about her wedding dress, because she made it herself! She also tells us about her way into the world of dancing. Through dancing she also met her husband. We asked her to which music she prefers to move and how one can imagine a dance cooperation as an outsider. Krizzl is clearly known for her beautiful red hair and her positive nature. That’s why we asked her which products she prefers to use in her hair routine. In addition, she tells us tips to make your own mindset more positive. All this and more, you can learn here in this interview!

“Let’s do my own wedding dress”

FIV: Hello dear Krizzl, how nice that it worked out today with the interview. Congratulations on your wedding! It’s hard to believe, but you made your wedding dress yourself. What inspired you to do it and how long did it take you?

Krizzl: Thank you very much!!! The thought came very spontaneously, just under 1 week before our appointment. Because that was also the period where we moved to a larger apartment. During the move I discovered a box with a lot of white sheer Ikea curtains. That was the moment where I thought…, wait a minute, Let’s do my own wedding dress! I quickly ordered some materials like hoop skirt, butterfly and floral elements and picked the rest from my closet. I was under a lot of pressure, but I was just so into it! The whole thing had then taken a whole three days and it was worth it!

2013 German champion salsa dancing

FIV: It’s clear from your social media channels that dancing is your passion. Could you tell our readers how long you’ve been dancing and how it became your passion?

Krizzl: I’ve probably been dancing since I was ten years old. It has always been a kind of therapy for me. It made me happy! I only ever danced alone, secretly, in my room, until I wanted to go to a dance school when I was fourteen. I quickly realized that I felt underchallenged and came to the point to teach myself on a voluntary basis. Style: Dancehall, HipHop. Through dancing I also met my husband at 16 and we both trained together dancing Salsa. Where we also together 2013, German champions have become. It is simply impossible for me to imagine life without it.

From classical music to rock

FIV: What are your favorite songs to dance to and why?

Krizzl: I love, love, love the 2000s! But I’m very open there. From classical music to dancehall/reggaeton/Latin. From HipHop/R’nB to Rock! The only thing I don’t listen to at all or very little are Schlager and Deutschrap.

After graduation: Hearing Aid Acoustician

FIV: You have also completed training as a hearing aid acoustician. How did it come about that you took this path?

Krizzl: I didn’t know what to do with myself after graduation. I just never knew what my dream job was or what my future should look like. I was always too busy with dance training and taking photos. Funnily enough, the profession of dance teacher never appealed to me, even though I received a lot of offers in this regard. Then suddenly I saw a sign in front of an acoustician’s shop
“Apprentice wanted.” I had never heard of this profession before and thought directly “Ey, that seems to be something where I won’t be bored.”

Krizzl’s trademark: her red hair

FIV: Your trademark definitely includes your beautiful red hair. What are your favorite products to use in your hair routine?

Krizzl: Thank you! I have actually always been asked about my hair. I can’t imagine any other color like copper on me either. My favorite product is once a scalp massage brush and my Octopus curler set for overnight curls, since I let as little heat as possible get to my hair. Everyone also always asks me what hair color I use, since I recommend to dye the hair with Elumen, that is the gentlest variant. However, you have to remember that everyone starts with a different color. I have naturally already red / brown hair.

Turn everything negative into positive

FIV: You radiate a lot of positivity on social media. Of course, social media and reality are two different things, but we would still be interested to know how you can always be so positive?

Krizzl: That’s right! There is not only black and white. Everyone has a story and also has hard times. Of course, one much prefers to show the beautiful sides. I try to turn all the negative things that have happened to me into positive things and to charge my environment at the same time. I have achieved this through my husband. If you have someone at your side who is always there, you live much more positively! It doesn’t always have to be your partner, of course it can also be your buddy, your best friend, your pet or your grandma.

Tips: Make mindset more positive

FIV: Do you maybe even have tips for our readers to make their own mindset more positive?

Krizzl: What always motivates me is the thought “You only live once” and the attitude that it doesn’t matter what others think of you, because as long as you love yourself the world is much nicer. I also always try to convey these values. Self-love, respect and tolerance. Always think of yourself first! This has brought me personally very far. I realized that I was a “people pleaser” and wanted to please everyone and thus slowed myself down a lot.

“I just love taking the wheel”.

FIV: You often do dance collabs. Do you think about a choreography together? How long do you have to practice? How many attempts do you usually need until the video is in the bag? So in short, how can you imagine the preparation and process of such a video?

Krizzl: Most of the time, I’m the one who consciously organizes everything. I just love to take the wheel. I often look for popular/current Dance Challenges or get inspired by new music. Then write dancers that would fit well with the idea and then meet at the location with a suitcase full of clothes and most of the time the best ideas are born on the spot. My husband is a videographer, so he always comes along. Equipment is also at the start. Usually we always do three good takes after we’ve all rehearsed first and that’s it, because if it doesn’t work after the fourth, fifth, sixth try, it can’t work. So sometimes it goes really fast, but sometimes you hang on for a whole day.

Krizzl in private: empathic & stubborn

FIV: Last but not least, we’d like to get to know a bit of your private side. What is your best and what is your worst quality?

Krizzl: The best quality is probably my strong empathy. That’s the ability to recognize and understand other people’s feelings and motives, to simply be able to put myself in my opponent’s shoes. My worst would be my stubbornness or my stubborn nature. I can sometimes be intransigent and then close myself off directly and it then really takes a while until I can open up again.

FIV: Thank you again for your time and the great interview and I wish you all the best on your way!

Become a Speaker: Earn money with knowledge, checklist and tips from the expert – Interview

F_kinski — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 13:02:24 +0000

Become a Speaker – What does a Speaker do? How much does a speaker earn? How do you become a speaker, do you need training? After our speaker agency interview, we got some feedback on the topic of being a speaker and becoming a speaker. So today we had a quick catch up with the owner of speaker agency Keynote Speaker One to talk about the question that many of our readers are interested in: How do I become a speaker? How much does one earn as a speaker? Can anyone become a speaker? We also wanted to start off by finding out how virtual lectures are changing the world of speaking – or are they? We’ll find out now, in the second interview.

Thanks to Keynote Speaker One: Speaker Agency (external).

How much do you earn as a speaker?

FIV: Thank you for taking the time again! Today we want to hear what tips you have for those who want to become speakers. Not only as a transition to my questions about becoming a speaker, I have to ask you! I’m sure many people are interested in one thing in particular: How much do you earn as a speaker?

Knowledge that creates money brings money. So simply put, the more effective your knowledge serves to achieve goals, this does not always have to be money, it could also be about building networks, for example with business representatives, more commonly known as lobbyists, the higher the knowledge transfer is calculated and charged. In short, if you manage to generate more money for the client, you can become a consultant or speaker.

First, though, it’s important to me, speakers don’t just work for money!

Prices for Speaking, Workshop and Coaching

There are many people who have, let’s say, made it, for whom money also no longer has the significance it has for others who are still starting out. They want to pass on their knowledge and experience to the next generation. For example, if millionaires speaking at a small startup conference. For them, it’s primarily not about the money, but about helping other people, motivating them.

To come to your question about the earnings, who starts as a speaker, without an agency, is already good with three-digit fees. As a rule, it is only one hour of work on site. Of course, there is preparation, travel, the final input for the participants, but it is often limited to 60 minutes when it comes to speaking. Those are the early days. Events with over 200 participants usually have people speaking who earn in the four-figure, five-figure range.

Then there are whole workshops or coaching sessions, so to speak, with simultaneous mentoring. Such a day can look like this, for example, that a lecture is given for 30 to 60 minutes, followed by a work unit for 30 to 120 minutes. This change takes place because, 4 times. The effort in the preparation is of course much higher. Accordingly, there is also a higher fee here.

When it comes to prominent speakers, as well as CEOs of large companies, we’re usually talking four-figure to six-figure amounts, for an appointment.

That information will have to do for now!

Topics that will make you a lot of money as a speaker

FIV: In which areas, or in other words, with which contents and lectures, can you earn a lot of money as a speaker?

I would answer the question like this: Don’t pay attention to the topics, but to the customers or industries. Also a good tip for all those who want to become a speaker. Which industry, economy or trade sector has high sales and at the same time many companies, i.e. potential clients?

A simple, classic area that really everyone knows are banks and financial institutions. They manage assets of wealthy people and are accordingly always looking for new inputs from all areas. Whether it’s marketing for reach, sales for closes, or digitization in companies, for more efficient, internal work processes. Such wealthy clients are naturally willing to pay more for good content.

Example: Facial expression training for asset managers

FIV: Can you give me an example of such a special and at the same time profitable area?

A practical example, one of our speakers is particularly concerned with facial expressions. That means he reads faces, more specifically, the emotion in the other person’s face. So he can see whether someone agrees or disagrees with an opinion, simply put. So if a wealth manager is sitting in front of a wealthy person in a meeting, proposing different investment options, he or she can tell by facial expressions whether the client is more likely to agree or disagree, no matter what he or she explicitly says.

Perhaps a client rejects a certain type of investment, simply out of principle or because he or she went into the conversation with other plans. But you can tell from the facial expression that there is a lot of interest, so the investment advisor should not change the subject now, but perhaps drill down a little further, once again mention advantages and so on. This is a simple example, but this simple action generates in the end perhaps an additional turnover of 10 million. All this by learning from 1 day.

Such knowledge, such skills are worth their weight in gold when it comes to investment advice.

Becoming a Speaker: Tips from the experts

FIV: Thank you for the insight. With this example you can see directly how deep the topics can go in your speeches or with the customers. I would also like to be able to read the facial expressions in the interview! Where do I pick up, where not, very exciting. That brings us right to the questions for our readers who want to become speakers! How do you become a speaker and what do you need?

Checklist: Become a Speaker

This is where I would give you very Speaker-Like, succinct bullet points. Let me think for a second. In very, very short, this is what it takes to become a speaker:

Who are you? Generalist, specialist or a known person
You need a track record or specific skills that lead to successes
You need a topic, better still a prepared presentation on slides
You need experience and reputation through project and customers
You need networking, outreach, orders, repeat business and referrals.

Your appearance: personality and theme

FIV: What do readers who want to become speakers need to know about each of the areas you just mentioned?

Okay, let’s recap in really, really short order. You have to decide how you want to appear. There are generalists, like CEOs, managers, self-made millionaires, who don’t specialize in a certain area, but can overview, understand and also explain more complex contexts. They know the steps, but often not the work itself. Simply put, someone had the idea for software, but doesn’t know how to program. Programmers do the work, she or he takes care of the management and development of the company, between programming, sales, accounting, human resource management, location management, etc. The same is true in business and politics. Here it is important to have reputation as a speaker, that means people know what you stand for.

Are you such in generalist? Or are you a specialist, i.e. the programmer who knows how to implement ideas and build an application from them?

These are specialists, they deal with a precise topic. The programmer perhaps with Industry 4.0 in digitalization, more explicitly with “Automatisms in production lines the automotive industry”. A generalist would rather give a lecture on “Industry 4.0 in the automotive industry”.

Important for these two groups of speakers, they need success stories! Because only those who have success stories to show will be perceived by others as mentors.

Then there are well known people, they are booked for your name, for internal and / or external reputation reasons.

So first and foremost, find your personality to portray to the outside world and your theme, or themes.

Experience and reputation (good reputation for recommendation)

FIV: What did you mean by experience and reputation?

Experience is made up of many components, the most important of which is your track record. You’ve been doing your job for 20 years and you’ve done it successfuly. Or, you’ve programmed an application that hasn’t been done before. You’re top in human resource management and now you’re passing on your experience as a headhunter. You have built a successful company. All these are success stories.

At the same time, however, failure is also ok, that is, mistakes that were made. The mix of success and failure then creates the hero story. Depending on how emotional you want to build your own speech, a very powerful tool for emotionalizing the audience.

Does training as a speaker make sense?

FIV: Is there actually a speaker training?

Most speakers are self-taught. They are good at something and can explain it. I don’t think training is useful, at least not one that is longer than a little coaching, from another renowned expert. Also handy to see what criteria you would look for yourself when looking for a coach. But the danger is, one tells you this, the other that. What you then lose as a speaker is your authentic manner, whether calm or psyched up as an entertainer. So I would say coaching to package content better, to deliver better, in presentation and structure, makes sense. Anything that changes personality should be well thought out.

Live or virtual: advantages and disadvantages

FIV: In view of the current situation and all the digitalization, what do you think is better as an expert: live or virtual? Why: Especially through the time with Covid, we have done many things online that were previously almost always offline. For example, meetings, workshops and, of course, training and coaching. Did you have digital lectures?

I’ve also had a lot of digital lectures in the last year and a half. But I’m not a fan of it, at least not with the current solutions and bandwidths!

For example, I just had to split a group of 260 people, into three groups, so I had to hire an additional 2 speakers. All because it’s not possible to reliably bring more than 50, 60 people in one stream. This is despite the fact that we had already chosen one of the great software solutions for this appointment.

Problem: Bandwidth for video calls

FIV: What exactly is the problem?

The big problem, the bandwidth and the common processing of the data. I am the only one who can stream a video. The more that connect with video over, it’s no different with audio, the worse the connection gets. So basically I’m talking without seeing a single participant. At the first event I thought okay, this can be worked on. But now, a year later, it’s no different. As I said, I’m not a fan of digital training when those are the conditions when it’s also live.

In this example, it was so that no one could ask a question back without having to join in extra, after all, everyone has to deactivate their microphones and webcams. In a live situation, I would see a response immediately, digitally, without video, because of bandwidth or software, I don’t know, people have to actively decide to check in first. That’s an incredibly big barrier. That’s why hardly anyone dares to ask a follow-up question. It always feels like an interruption to the participants, so they feel like they are “interrupting”. It’s also hard to take away that feeling.

After all, you don’t see the reactions of the other guests and you don’t know how they are thinking or feeling, do they have questions or not? Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?

Communication and audience response

FIV: So live or virtual makes a difference?

Yes, live or virtual makes a big difference! Of course, there are always the exceptions, the very diligent, who can learn just as effectively digitally. But as a rule, emotions are part of it, as just discussed but also queries. As a speaker, it’s also much easier for me to see the number of questioning faces, depending on how specific the topic is. Then I can respond to them, for example, elaborate a little further.

At the same time, the participants have the opportunity to discuss among themselves, i.e. live, quietly during the lecture, but also during the breaks, and of course before and after the speaking. The spirit, from stage to audience, is also quite different. And in the end, it’s not just about the factual knowledge, the information, but above all about motivation, wanting to achieve more! Sometimes you first have to awaken the will, sometimes you have to focus and channel it.

Live lectures have many advantages, for the participants and accordingly also for the client. The results are more effective.

FIV: Thanks for the great and detailed answers!

Part 1: Speaker Agency and Trend Topics

Speaker Agency – Learning is something that never stops. We start with our parents, in kindergarten, come to school, do training or study, attend workshops, training and further education, learn languages, arts. Out of personal passion or to earn more money. Many companies invest a little more and book real experts for their company and their employees. Many names are only known in professional circles, others are prominent and known to all. We caught up with the owner of a speaker agency today to talk about the industry, processes and speakers. What are important topics for companies, what are trending topics? We also asked him: how does one actually become a speaker? Maybe you have some valuable knowledge of your own that you can share with others. But let’s start at the very beginning!

Hiring a tax advisor: 3 mistakes! Too much tax, too much advice and costs

F_kinski — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 14:36:02 +0000

Hiring a tax accountant / Mistake – You want to find a good tax accountant near you! Because, you want to avoid risks and dangers, after all, it will cost you cash if you hire the wrong firm for your accounting. Costs for additional processing, advice and service, and of course losses, for example, if tax benefits are not taken (quote above). In the article on Lukinski, 3 specific risk factors are described that usually only become apparent after years of working together. The 3 risks first at a glance.

Hiring a tax advisor: 3 mistakes

In our great overview on the subject of tax advisors, the recommendations for many cities, for good tax advisors in the area, the tax advisor costs everything on the subject of starting a company and possible legal forms; taxes are so important for entrepreneurs that today we once again focus on the tax advisor choice. Because, especially the selection of the tax advisor is a central factor, for the success of your company. Before we look at the 3 mistakes in detail, here is an overview for you.

Assign risks to the tax advisor:

Intensive, regular cooperation; means commitment and time for tax consultant changes
Amount of monthly and additional costs; money missing for reinvestment
In the long term: lose money (pay too much tax, plus costs for tax advisor, lack of reinvestment) due to lack of qualitative / quantitative advice

Source: Lukinski.de, article tax consultant for enterprises

Let’s look at each of the commissioning risk factors.

Communication and bonding – risk number 1

First of all, a risk factor that is not directly related to the topic of “losing money” or “costs for the tax advisor”. It’s the regular, intensive relationship you have with your tax advisor. While most business relationships are relatively irregular, you’ll need to talk to your own tax advisor for many, recurring transactions in the. Whether it’s levies, consultations or queries.

If you don’t feel absolutely comfortable during the first meeting, or if you are not on the same wavelength, then you should refrain from working together. That is why it is so important to compare tax advisors, through recommendations from experienced entrepreneur friends or through initial discussions with different tax advisors. Also important so you have different quotes in front of you. How often you will communicate, you can already see by the weekly to annual meetings, even if only digitally.

Deadlines for submission of accounts, wages and annual financial statements

Regular communication includes, for example:

Monthly submission of the accounts, by the 10th of the following month (deadline at the tax office)
Wages and salaries, as of the 15th of the month
…
Financial statements

As an entrepreneurial person, you are in constant contact with the tax office. Therefore, you should also look for people with whom you, as described, are on the same wavelength. If it quickly comes to disagreements and disputes, the share of communication decreases and so you come to risk number 3: The lack of tax advice.

At the same time, you’re just as reluctant to make contact and won’t ask some questions you would have asked an accountant you trust.

So in addition to all the facts and figures, the personal level also plays a role.

Change of tax advisor: When mistakes add up

Already by the above points you have seen how in your company is connected with the tax adviser. Accordingly, a change is not possible overnight, it must be well prepared. You need to find a new firm that will take you on as a client. Especially good law firms check if they want to work with a client. The new tax advisor must then, as immediately start working for a smooth transition, for example, if you have a dispute with your old tax advisor.

So the commitment is relatively long-term, until you notice mistakes (we’ll get to that in a moment) and find time to change tax advisors in addition to the day-to-day business of your company. But don’t worry, if you find someone who accepts you as a client, the change is made relatively quickly, from the first conversation to the start is maybe 7 to 14 days.

Thanks to digital accounting, the change of tax advisor is possible within 24 hours if the mandate is accepted by a law firm.

Monthly, too high cost burden – risk number 2

Of course, tax consultants don’t work for free. When you look at the costs of a tax consultant, you also look at two values.

Cost factors: 1) Regular and 2) Additional services

Cost factor 1: Regular services – The basics, i.e. your bookkeeping and financial accounting, are usually calculated according to the value in use. Value in use means that the monthly amount of the costs is based on the amount of your turnover. The more turnover you make, the more you pay. The fees are calculated according to an official scale of fees. In addition, tax consultants have a small margin, up and down.

This means you pay a fixed value depending on how much revenue you make. Nevertheless, offers from different tax advisors can differ, as they have a percentage margin.

Cost factor 2: Additional services – In addition to your monthly basic costs, there are also additional services, for example consulting, but also the annual financial statement is charged extra. Here lies the risk factor, how much consulting is good, how much is bad for you and your company? There is no general answer to this question. Because, depending on how much previous commercial knowledge and also interest you bring yourself, ideally only 1 or 2 hours a month. Consultation means already inquiries here. Just about every minute is billed. If your tax advisor talks to you on the phone for 10 minutes, then an employee has to be informed (5 minutes), another 20 minutes of documents are procured, a decision is made and a call is made back – already 1 hour of additional effort has arisen, for one question. At 120 euros / hour, quickly a relevant topic for young companies.

So you have two cost factors and especially the additional services can quickly add up. If you use a lot of consulting, which many founders do, then every minute is charged. If you take an hourly rate of 120 Euros as a basis and only 1 additional hour per week, 4 hours of additional consulting (one appointment or distributed) will cost you 600 Euros. As a large limited liability company, this may not be a problem, but especially at the beginning, in the start-up phase, this is a lot of money.

Example calculation: Extra costs due to consulting

Here again in quick and simple summary, the calculation of the additional costs, by consulting service.

Hourly rate tax consultant: 120 Euro
Additional effort / week: 1 hour
Monthly extra costs: + 600 Euro
Annual extra costs: + 7.200 Euro

If a GmbH was founded with 25,000 Euro starting capital, an item of 28.8% of the equity capital, in addition to the costs for regular accounting.

Advice is important, but pay attention to dotted questions and be prepared, for example by doing your own research, this saves time

Dubious tax consultants? Too much advice

If you have a less reputable tax advisor and regularly 10, 12 or even 15 hours extra per month, which at first doesn’t sound like much, over the whole month, the risk quickly becomes a danger. This brings us to risk 3, the consequence: losing money due to too much overhead and taxes.

Losing money through bad / no advice – Risk 3

Through lack of communication (risk 1), too high fees for too much advice (risk 2) or even lack of knowledge, you lose money to reinvest and further tax benefits.

Too much paid money, tax benefits, you can no longer claim afterwards / partly costly, that’s why it is so important to have a good advisor at his side.

The tax advisor training is relatively simple, it is not a long, state training or a study, the training to the tax advisor makes one in a course, with subsequent examination. By and large, it is about the administration of taxes, not about the design of taxes.

Full-time training lasts (only) 2 months

No one learns the intricacies in the tax system in 2 months, it’s more about filing monthly and yearly correctly.

Many tax consultants also pass on their work to employees who then show little interest in the individual clients, for example because these employees are overloaded with tasks. Accordingly, the work is processed, that is, managed again, not designed. If you hire a tax advisor who does not attach much importance to communication, especially in terms of tax advice, you will quickly lose a lot of money, starting with tax allowances and ending with tax structuring for different legal forms.

Hiring a tax advisor: mistakes + 3 tips

Let’s summarize the four key risks again:

Intensive, regular cooperation; means commitment and time for tax consultant changes
Amount of monthly and additional costs; money missing for reinvestment
In the long term: lose money (pay too much tax, plus costs for tax advisor, lack of reinvestment) due to lack of qualitative / quantitative advice
