Today I'm more satisfied than ever in my entrepreneurial employment... and well compensated! You can be well compensated too. Stop fooling around, do the work and be better off!

My name is Pim Elshoff and I'm a software developer, coach & mentor, and international public speaker. I've been an employee for more than fifteen years.
