About the author

For Tim Jaudszims, setting up business is both his job and passion. As a business angel, he has already viewed more than 2,000 pitch decks, met with over 400 teams, made numerous investments and has successfully set up five businesses of his own. “It is easy to get distracted in a digital world”, said Tim Jaudszims. That is the reason why I contemplated creating a journal, in which notes are written down on a daily basis and the journal is always to hand. Thoughts and ideas can be compiled better, then shaped and, ultimately, refined if they are written down by hand. They are kept in focus. That helps you to reflect on and sort out your thoughts.
