A life journey before a business journey.
We empower the leaders changing the world.
BERGflow was founded on one passion — helping the entrepreneurs, business owners, and CEOs who are building something bigger than themselves. Here's who we are, what we believe, and why we do this.
Building a community of life changers through the business world who will impact the lives of 25 million people in powerful and positive ways — empowering them to make the world a better place.
We empower the entrepreneurs, business owners, and CEOs who are changing the world.
Dirk founded BERGflow in 2017 out of a passion for helping small businesses. He runs multiple growing companies and pours that hands-on knowledge into leading teams that execute. Dirk developed the Pivot Ready™ Teams system to structure companies and build the kind of teams that get things done — and through BERGflow he takes on 1-on-1 consulting clients along with training and speaking engagements.
When he takes off the entrepreneur hat, you'll find him outdoors — usually somewhere in the wilderness behind the wheel of a jeep with his wife, Kristin, and their kids, Jax and Kate.
We love learning, growing, strategy, challenges, leadership, fun, and adventure. To us, it's all part of the lifestyle of building great businesses.
A note from our founder.
We're passionate about getting up every day and building businesses — for our clients and for ourselves. We feel blessed to be able to do this work, and especially blessed by who we get to do it with: our team members and our clients.
They say business isn't personal. For us, it's deeply personal when it comes to helping our clients succeed. We get to know them at a level few others ever will — things about their lives that almost no one else knows.
Building businesses is tough. They demand an immense level of energy, focus, and constant change just to stay relevant and learn fast enough to survive. That creates enormous amounts of stress and a workload that takes a toll on emotions, health, relationships, friendships, and lifestyle. Very often, the price to pay is extremely high.
We understand this — because we've lived it. We've built multiple companies and successfully exited three. Today we operate multiple companies and are actively beginning to acquire more. We get it: we face the same battles our clients do, and that levels up our understanding of business and of our clients' journey. We offer more than the coaches or trainers who earned an "online certificate" from some course but lack the real-world experience of the challenges that face business owners building multi-million-dollar companies with many people on the payroll.
Because we understand what it takes — and what it truly costs — we vow to always be open, honest, and authentic with our clients. To bring the highest value we can, to work hard, and to stay focused for them. We care about our clients, and we are committed to helping them win.
What does BERGflow mean?
From Dirk's native South African language, "berg" means mountain — a symbol of power, magnitude, and vastness. The mountain represents challenges; challenges represent opportunities; and opportunities, actualized, unlock rewards. Those rewards lead to the next level in business and in life.
Flow is the mental state where you're fully immersed in what you're doing — energized focus, deep involvement, connection, and genuine enjoyment in the process. It's the state where time ceases to exist and you get lost in the work.
Put BERG and flow together and you get a company designed, built, and driven to take on big challenges — in a way where we get to experience the state of flow while we work.
