Proving Range Beats Specialization

Most entrepreneurs are told to focus on one thing. Pick a lane. Narrow your niche. But what if your strength isn't specialization—it's your ability to connect ideas across domains?

What if the real problem isn't having too many interests, but not having the systems to pursue them sustainably?

For 21 years, I've been building businesses, leading teams, and proving that you don't have to choose one path. I've launched startups, taught thousands of students across eight countries, written books, advised founders, and served on boards—often simultaneously. Not because I'm superhuman, but because I built systems that work with my energy instead of against it.

Now I'm doing it again: writing The Range Advantage, launching a startup to disrupt traditional fundraising, delivering keynotes, and advising other multi-passionate entrepreneurs. This isn't about hustle or working harder—it's about removing what holds you back and building the infrastructure to leverage your full range.

Shifting from time management to energy management was truly thought-provoking, and it helped me structure my workdays much more effectively. Goodbye multitasking, hello batching and monotasking – it really saves energy throughout the workweek! Highly recommended!

Here’s what 21 years of multi-passionate entrepreneurship has taught me:

✅ From scattered to strategic – Learn how to build systems that let you pursue multiple ventures without burning out or dropping balls

From guilt to advantage – Stop apologising for your range and start leveraging it as your competitive edge

From overwhelm to momentum – Discover how energy management and systems thinking create sustainable success across multiple projects simultaneously

WHAT I'M BUILDING NOW

1. AUTHOR: Writing Books That Transform

Currently writing The Range Advantage: Why Multi-Passionate Entrepreneurs Win (And How to Stop Apologizing For It)—the manifesto for multi-passionate entrepreneurs who've been told to "just focus." This book integrates everything I've learned about leveraging range, moving forward with imposter syndrome, and building systems for sustainable achievement.

Also writing books on imposter syndrome and systems thinking, plus a historical crime novel series set in Northern Norway. Because range.

2. SPEAKER: Sharing The Frameworks

Delivering keynotes and workshops on:

1. The Range Advantage (why multi-passionate beats specialist)
2. Moving Forward With Doubt (high performance despite imposter syndrome)
3. Systems Over Goals (energy management for faster results)

These aren't theoretical frameworks—they're the exact systems that let me run multiple ventures without burning out. Available for conferences, corporate events, and leadership offsites.

3. STARTUP FOUNDER: Disrupting Fundraising

Co-founding a platform to transform how sports clubs and non-profits raise money. Traditional fundraising is broken—time-consuming, demotivating, leaving potential on the table. We're building something that changes the game entirely. This is where two decades of entrepreneurial experience meets a problem desperately needing solving.

4. ADVISORY & IMPACT

Board Member — Go'nok, helping young people develop self-worth and self-esteem

Startup Advisor — Strategic advisor to select startups (limited availability)

Business Writer — Contributing articles to Ledernytt magazine

Educator — Founded The Translator Academy (10 years, thousands of students across eight countries)

Each role feeds the others. Each project makes the others stronger. This is what living your range actually looks like.

About Inger Lise

Inger Lise is an author and speaker who’s spent 21 years proving you don’t have to choose one thing. She’s built businesses, led teams, taught thousands of students across eight countries, and now she’s writing books, launching a startup to disrupt traditional fundraising, delivering keynotes, and advising founders who refuse to be put in a box.

For years, she looked confident on the outside while battling imposter syndrome on the inside. She hustled hard, set ambitious goals, and burned out. The turning point came when she stopped trying to power through her limitations and started building systems that worked with her energy instead of against it. She discovered that success isn’t about working harder or choosing one path—it’s about removing what holds you back and creating infrastructure to leverage your full range.

Now Inger Lise writes books and delivers talks that help multi-passionate entrepreneurs and leaders break through invisible barriers. Through raw honesty and battle-tested frameworks, she shares what she’s learned about moving forward with imposter syndrome, ditching exhausting goal-chasing for systems thinking, and achieving bigger results without the burnout.

Whether she’s writing, building her startup, delivering keynotes, advising ventures, serving on the board of Go’nok, or contributing to Ledernytt magazine, every project fuels the others. Because the fastest path forward isn’t narrowing your focus—it’s building systems that let you leverage everything you are.
