Hello

I am
Balazs Vendler

I turn business ideas into reality and help others do the same.

What do I do?

I talk and think about business ideas, planning them, realizing them, and addressing the challenges that arise along the way. Perhaps in a somewhat different way than usual. Not from the perspective of the business itself, but rather from the direction of self-reflection, introspection, and facing the difficulties of life. I explore topics such as the fear of failure, embracing personal desires, understanding our own resources, and the distorting effects of the paradigms instilled in us. I encourage you to think more deeply about your own life and to face your fears and uncertainties in order to find your own path.

1. Blog

The goal of my blog is to speak to entrepreneurs and leaders who feel the need for change but are not yet sure how to move forward. If you feel that there's more potential within you but are uncertain about the first steps, the articles on my blog offer guidance. My writings explore topics such as self-awareness, self-fulfillment, and building a business, providing help for those still searching for their own path. I have launched a new company — which this page is also about — and I document the process and my personal dilemmas through blog posts that I share.

2. Entrepreneurial Questions

My 255-question survey – currently available in Hungarian – aims to help you gain deeper self-awareness and reflect on your current situation, goals, and the state of your business. This self-assessment tool is particularly useful for business partners, as it was primarily designed for them, but it can also help solo entrepreneurs organize their thoughts, and even those who are just planning to start a business will find it beneficial. Set aside an hour for yourself and these questions, which you may not have asked yourself before. This will give you the opportunity to thoroughly consider your answers, and perhaps discover new perspectives. Based on the responses, we plan to launch a research project. If you're interested, feel free to reach out!

3. Forest Walk

If you're looking for a personal consultation, join me for a walk. Every Wednesday, I walk in the Mecsek near Pécs with my dog, Ottó. This walk offers an opportunity for us to talk in a relaxed atmosphere about the challenges, obstacles, and questions you have regarding your business. My past walking companions have ranged from solo entrepreneurs just starting a yoga studio to leaders of commercial companies with hundreds of millions in revenue—men and women, young and old alike. The personal meeting is free, but an appointment is required. You can find more details and feedback on my Facebook page. If you're interested, feel free to reach out!

4. Consultation

If you need advice or regular consultations, let's meet in person! This provides an opportunity to dive deeper into your questions and consider concrete solutions. You pay as much as it’s worth to you—the amount is entirely up to you. Let me know in advance what you’d like to discuss, how much it’s worth to you, and why. If we connect, come to Pécs, and at the end of our conversation, you pay whatever amount it was worth to you. It doesn’t matter how much, just explain why. If you're interested, feel free to reach out!

5. Mentoring

If you feel that, based on our conversations, you’d like to work with me long-term, we can continue our collaboration through mentoring. As part of the mentoring process, we meet twice a month, and I’ll be available during key business situations if you need a quick consultation. I help you navigate the challenges your business faces, whether it’s personal experiences, blind spots, business strategy, leadership issues, or specific decision-making situations. I offer various collaboration models, ranging from a monthly fixed fee to success-based solutions. If you're interested, feel free to reach out!

We don't talk about what we're good at. What we excel in. We don't talk about it because it feels wrong. I didn't talk about it either. I didn't write about it. Why? Why is it that when someone compliments our achievements, my achievements, I respond with: "Oh, it's nothing... you could do it too... it's not a big deal..." I don't say that anymore. I don't even think it. But many people still react this way when I talk to them. Why do we stay silent about our talents?

I always see Balazs as an entrepreneurial role model. We have started the partnership since 2016. It was an awesome journey to work with Balazs to bring Games for Business platform to South East Asia. From the marketing initiative, pricing model to first project implementation, Balazs demonstrated the entrepreneur spirit. I am truly impressed with his thought process where he is able to envision the future based on the trends.

Balazs has an impressive history of becoming the gamification evangelist of first Central Europe and then he could build a successful business globally. What makes him special? His openness and attitude to challenges, listening carefully and bringing not just a solution, but a good one really differentiates him from others. Balazs is a truly international businessmen, but what I admire the most is his ability to build a successful team and a thriving international company supporting projects all over the world. I recommend reaching out to him if you wish to discover what his team can do with gamification for your next talent acquisition, sales boost or knowledge transfer program.

The extremely goal-oriented strategist who progresses on his path with determination, perseverance, and discipline – this was my first impression of Balázs. I enjoy our conversations for many reasons, one of them being that he inspires me with his completely novel approach to things. At the same time, he possesses an openness, even to the extent of facing himself. To me, Balázs is a truly good example of how one can remain approachable amidst achieved successes. He is a person who continues to embody humility. I am very glad for our collaboration, thank you.

When I wanted to enter the Hungarian market with digital welding training systems, Balázs was a big help on who to contact and how to get started. Over the time he took the role of a mentor, as I could discuss new ideas on the digitalization of education. He is remarkable in quickly understanding the topics but always stays focused on what is needed in order to drive a profitable business. Balázs, thank you so much for your support, and looking forward to future projects!
