A dream that’s been waiting in the wings for years — something you’d love to do, create, or bring into the world, but somehow never quite start?

Maybe you want to change careers, write a book, start painting, or build your own business. Or perhaps you don’t yet know exactly what your dream is — only that it’s time to take a step.

Whatever your dream looks like, the online journey ‘The Dreamer Who Does’ helps you bridge the gap between dreaming and doing. You’ll learn how to take steady, meaningful steps toward what truly matters to you — not by pushing or forcing yourself, but through rhythm, structure, presence, and joy.

From inspiration to action

We all know the pattern: you start out inspired, full of ideas — and then doubt sets in. You wonder if you’re good enough, creative enough, or disciplined enough. Days pass, and your dream stays where it was: in your head.

This course offers a different way. You’ll learn to:

• Be present in the here and now — while moving forward
• Work from inspiration, not pressure
• Build supportive daily habits and gentle structure
• Overcome perfectionism and self-doubt
• Create space for what truly matters

A creative approach to doing

The Dreamer Who Does brings together:

• Being in the moment — learning to act from presence and inner calm
• Personal growth — developing a mindset that supports your dreams
• Creativity — exploring what you truly want to bring into the world, and daring to show it
• Productivity — planning and getting things done

Through a mix of in-depth lessons, reflection prompts, guided meditations, creative challenges, and practical exercises, you’ll explore your inner landscape and the outer steps that follow from it.
You’ll be invited to experiment, to stop hiding, to take the leap — and to discover how much becomes possible once you begin.

Over time, you’ll build a rhythm and a way of working that feels natural to you — grounded, inspired, and alive.

The course unfolds over ten weeks, and the principles you learn will keep supporting you long after it ends. Each week focuses on one theme — from mindset and limiting beliefs to daily planning, getting out of your comfort zone and finishing what you start. 

Why this course?

I created this course after years of coaching people who carried big dreams but couldn’t seem to realize them — and after living that process myself.
It’s based on the principles from my book, but takes them further — translating ideas into guided practice and real-life application.

For whom is this course?

This course is for anyone who has a dream waiting to be realized — something you long to create, pursue, or bring into the world — but haven’t yet taken the first step.

Perhaps you’ve been waiting for the “right moment,” or maybe self-doubt, perfectionism, or the busyness of everyday life keeps getting in the way.

You might resonate with this course if you:

• Feel inspired and motivated but struggle to turn ideas into action.

• Have big dreams but are unsure where to start or how to maintain momentum.

• Want to reconnect with your creativity, curiosity, and inner drive.

• Desire a structured, gentle approach to making progress — without pressure or burnout.

• Wish to cultivate daily habits, presence, and a mindset that supports your goals.

Whether your dream is to change careers, write a book, start a business, or simply live more intentionally, this course is designed to help you bridge the gap between dreaming and doing.

It’s also perfect for those who have tried courses, planners, or self-help methods before but found themselves stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to maintain a steady practice. Here, you’ll move forward step by step — learning to act from inspiration, not pressure — while developing tools, habits, and rhythms that last beyond the ten-week course.

In short: if you’re ready to honor your dreams, explore your potential, and take meaningful action — this course is for you.

My journey as coach and artist

I’m Simone Nijboer, a coach and artist. For more than two decades, I’ve been guiding people to discover their creative energy, helping them turn ideas and dreams into meaningful action. Through my coaching, including my book The Dreamer Who Does and my online courses, I support people in exploring their goals, finding clarity, and taking practical steps toward the life they want to live.

At the same time, my own creative practice has been central to my life. Making art has taught me how presence, playfulness, and curiosity enrich every aspect of life — lessons I bring into my coaching work.

For me, coaching and art are two sides of the same coin: both invite joy, creativity, and a sense of what's possible.

Whether guiding others in realizing their dreams or exploring the possibilities of paint and paper, for me, it’s all about inspiration, being here now, and taking action.
