(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) Henk Diepbrink never set out to follow the path laid before him. Growing up in the Netherlands in a family that had little, he was told more than once that poverty was a destiny. Where these words may be the truth for others, it was not for Henk. For him, it became his fuel.

Entrepreneurship

His first serious step into adulthood came in uniform. As a police officer in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in the 1980s, this city was rougher and far less forgiving than it is today. Yet alongside the badge he discovered something unexpected: the ability to sell, to connect, and to persuade. After investigating burglaries he found himself offering victims alarm systems. It was not necessarily his career plan, but it revealed a talent that would soon take him far beyond law enforcement.

Direct sales, self-development and marketing became his launchpad. What began as an experiment turned into an international career that brought him financial independence and, perhaps more importantly, a stage. Standing in front of stadiums filled with thousands of people, he learned to turn nerves into energy and fear into presence. Those years made him a speaker, a communicator, and eventually a leader people chose to follow.

Beyond Business

Success opened new doors. Henk Diepbrink invested in American real estate during the financial crisis. Later he put capital into startups, often in the technology sector. Parallel to the business world, another journey unfolded. In 2005 Henk travelled to India, where he spent time with the Dalai Lama and immersed himself in Tibetan Buddhism and Kriya Yoga. What he found there was not a rejection of ambition, but a new framework: the idea that freedom comes not from outcomes but from living fully in action. That philosophy, karma yoga, still shapes how he works with others today.

Henk divides his days between mentoring, writing, and leading new ventures in wellness and digital finance. Whether he is speaking about detox products, Bitcoin, or the power of belief systems, his message is consistent: lasting success comes from changing what you believe is possible.

His own story is proof of that. Nowadays he is an inspiring entrepreneur and speaker who has been active in direct sales and marketing. He is also the author of the book“Create Your Life, Ways to Material and Spiritual Freedom”, in which he shares his personal journey alongside practical strategies for gaining control over time, money, and purpose. He encourages his audiences to make their own choices, redefine priorities, and let go of limiting beliefs, enabling them to design a life that truly reflects who they are.
