I'm an Accidental Solopreneur.
My name is Dennis Geelen. In 2018 I was unexpectedly laid off from my corporate job and decided to bet on myself. Before then?
Old Dennis
- EXTREMELY risk averse
- A follow the script and follow the rules guy
- A corporate guy, no entrepreneurial bone in my body
Does this sound like you?
Here's what I did about it:
- Launched a management consulting business
- Wrote 4 books
- Spoke at several events
- Been a guest on 75+ podcasts
- Coached dozens of other solopreneurs
- Launched and scaled a newsletter
It's been 5+ years since that lay off.
Here's the New Dennis
- looks for new opportunities to get outside my comfort zone
- test ideas quickly and iterates to see if they scale
- networks regularly, building new relationships
Sound like who you want to be?
Let me tell you...
There's a massive difference between Old Dennis and New Dennis.
And I can't wait to see what Future Dennis looks like 5 years from now!

I love his story!
me too!
Do you have a similar story about how you met your partner?
Let’s see how serendipity responds!
😴
Need a coffee? ☕️😀
Did you know the story of what eventually brought the police to Bundy?
Are you too attached to your stuff???
YEAH…. Well we all know how greedy and selfish this prick was
I love it!
Thanks! 😀
Burn out is real!
It can be a killer
Your network is your net worth!
You can say that again
Such a great comeback story!
I love it!
What's your favourite comeback story?
So simple!
It really is
Give this a try and let me know how it goes
Update: I went back to the Vet yesterday. The book is still there!
No thanks!
Not buying it either!
If you're trying to sell me on hustle culture, I'm not buying!
Yes....Happy Accidents even exist in true crime stories. Which of these 4 was your favourite?
I hope someone found it before it rained!
They did! Stay tuned for an update 😀
I'm putting serendipity to the test! What will happen? Stay tuned to my Serendipity Challenge playlist to find out...
They did. Stay tuned...
Can’t wait to read the book! Look at you two great men of God, sharing the deep peace of knowing Jesus no matter what life throws at us. So good! I loved the advice about lifting our eyes - was hearing “Fix My Eyes” by for King & Country as you shared the advice about preparation meeting opportunity. Had to smile when you mentioned joy coaching! So blessed to know you guys.
Thanks so much for tuning in, Robin. Ken was an incredible guest. He’s the type of man I hold in high regard. And yes, definitely grab a copy of his book!
This story made me chuckle 😀
😅😅😅
What would you do if you child said this to you?
If I had a kid I'd let them be what they wanna be but I'm most likely never gonna have children
@@Ducky-animations-k92 Agreed, they should be the ones to choose. In her case, her daughter just wanted more time with her.
C-can you smoke them…?
Not those kind of plants! 😅
@@TheAccidentalSolopreneur aww man....
@@thewrathofdumbledore4867 sorry to disappoint 😅😅
Megan has such an incredible story. I'd love to hear your thoughts. How would you handle a similar situation?
Who’s your favorite fiction writer?
Such a cool idea!
Agreed! I love this 😊
@@HappyAccidents-TheNewsletter Thanks!
Thanks so much!
This one was pretty fun. I have no idea who's mailboxes those where! 😅
I love it! Too funny. I hope they reach out to you.
@@zeroin1365 Me too!
At the end of the day, all the ‘stuff’ in the world won’t make you happy
Agreed!
Do you subscribe to Dan’s newsletter? You have to respect his long term approach.
Such a super smart approach. Your reputation isn’t worth being tarnished by chasing ever sponsorship
I love the idea of long money instead of quick money
I hope Tim Hortons gets tons of free promo out of this 😅
This is such a fun idea!
I thought so too 😀
I love my Timmies! Hope someone finds the book and passes it on.
Who doesn't love a Timmies on a rainy afternoon? 😉
@@HappyAccidents-TheNewsletter Right?
Let's see who finds it! I hope they read it and pass it on. Let's keep it going!
Looks like someone found this one 😀. I receive a message from someone else who recognized this Little Library and went to go find the book. It was gone already. I’m hoping whoever found it reads and passes it on. 😊
Se the full video to find where I left all 10 books: ua-cam.com/video/4lm7VgiTjds/v-deo.html
Ha! Such a great idea
Thanks. This was a lot of fun.
Such a cool story
@@zeroin1365 right? I love it
Have you heard this story before? What your favourite Happy Accident story from science?
From what I've read, BOS plans to play him, so he will technically be catching his own at bat, which could be its own historical stat/oddity too! I'm oddly excited for Monday to see how this happens!
@@Oktobyr ya, that just makes the story that much more awesome. I love it!
Your video is very interesting when explaining this historical event, your content and chronology of the events are very professional, so you earned my subscription, congratulations
Thanks so much! I love sharing all kinds of Happy Accident stories. Enjoy the content! 😀
I just love his journey story
Too funny 😅
I thought so 😅
Ha! I love this one 😀
Me too 😀
I wonder how long it will take for someone to find this one 🤔 😊
Very cool! Recipients will be lucky. Awesome that you've picked locations that are meaningful to you, too.
@@k8lynmcardle this was such a fun challenge. Stay tuned for more (different) ones in the future
