About The PErsonal Growth BasE
"In this world, you are either growing, or you're dying."
- Lou Holtz
That's why we are striving to be your reliable and transparent source of practical advice on personal growth and self-improvement.
We love scientifically proven theories, but what we love even more is breaking them down into advice that is easy to follow and transforms your life.
We're here to deliver everything you need to improve your life and become a better version of yourself - one small step at a time.
The Personal Growth Base was founded by Sinem Günel & Philip Hofmacher, digital entrepreneurs and curious minds based in Vienna, Austria.
We met at an entrepreneurship conference in 2017, fell in love, and started our first business together after dating for five months.
Before discovering the digital world, we were busy hosting in-person workshops and trainings for students and young professionals to help them boost their productivity, wellbeing, and relationships.
But Covid and our desire to share our message with more people led to a shift from talking to 20 people in a room to writing for millions of people online.
That's how the Personal Growth Letter was born.
Today, over 20,000 curious readers are receiving our emails 4 times per week, and we're grateful for each subscriber.
