About Me

Hi, I'm Chris van de Nes, Creator of Your Happiness Vision.

People get to know Chris as always happy, energetic, social and positive. He started at 18 years old working for a direct marketing company and within one year started to train people to develop their communication skills. While writing his Thesis for a big Dutch bank for the study: ‘Entrepreneurship’ in The Netherlands he got asked to run a software start-up by a group of investors. 

Not long after, he realized that the status, the big car and working in an industry that he didn’t enjoy did not make him happy. Therefore, the collaboration ended and he started to travel the world by himself. 

During his travels he connected with his passion - helping people to be happy, but then received a job offer to work for one of the fastest growing multi billion technology companies, Salesforce. Which was chosen as the number one employer of Europe for 3 years in a row. (greatplacetowork, 2021)

The job was located in Dublin, the silicon valley of Europe. Within the first year he reached his goal and became number one of the team. He closed the biggest deal of the Benelux, earning a 1-year salary within one month, only to ask himself: “Is this all there is in life?” and realizing again that only money or status does not bring as much joy and fulfillment as expected. 

Now he is taking all the lessons he learned to guide people into living a life they really love, to discover who they really are, what makes them happy and focuses on his Mission: ‘Spreading Love, Joy and Happiness.’ He is doing this while living at a beautiful Vineyard in Portugal with the Love of his Life, Jullien Rossel.

Chris’ life wasn’t always roses and sunshine though.

In his youth he was actually bullied and called names because he was overweight, was wearing glasses, braces and his ears grew before the rest of his head.’

Not long after the divorce of his parents he was being rejected and emotionally abandoned by his own mother who he, and his two sisters, haven’t spoken to for years. Instead of focusing on resentment he started a journey of self development. At age 16, he started to learn everything about love, connection, happiness and creating a life you really love. 

So, even if you have had a tough childhood, or feel stuck in a corporate job or you are struggling to find out what it is that you really want, or even if you don’t feel confident enough yet, there is hope and a clear Step-By-Step process that will help you to start creating a life you love.
