Kurt Vervloet is a business coach, executive coach and CEO mentor. He founded Take Action in 2017, after 22 years as an entrepreneur and Managing Director of 135 employees. With the CEO SUPERNOVA Framework and AI as a second brain, he helps CEOs and entrepreneurs build a business that runs without them.
It was 03:07. Kurt lay awake. His heart was pounding. His team waited for every decision. His family waited for a father who was truly present. The company was growing, but he was trapped in his own success.
This is the moment most CEOs recognise but never say out loud.
Kurt does say. And he built a system to get out permanently.
After 22 years as an entrepreneur, managing director of 135 employees and coach to more than 184 companies, he wrote two books. De CEO Supernova: Van Bottleneck naar Vrijheid (2026) set out the method. Het 03:07 Moment (Krummholz, 2026) builds on it and describes how you move from bottleneck to freedom in practice.
Kurt is an industrial engineer (Thomas More), holds an MBA from the University of Antwerp and a master in Sales & Marketing B2B from Vlerick. He was voted Coach of the Year in Belgium and the Netherlands three times and has been a Plato mentor at Voka since 2020.
Managing director, 135 employees, €35M turnover Every decision went through Kurt. The company was successful. He had become the system himself, and that system got stuck.
The night everything shifted Hij besloot een bedrijf te bouwen dat draait zonder hem, en dat systeem te delen met andere leiders.
184+ companies, 2 books, 3x Coach of the Year Kurt built the system he had been missing himself. Since 2017 he has helped CEOs and entrepreneurs build a business that runs without them.
“Leadership fails today because of cognitive overload. There is plenty of talent. The solution is making leadership mentally scalable.”
Kurt Vervloet, Het 03:07 Moment
A working system that Kurt developed in 184+ companies and set down in two books: De CEO Supernova and Het 03:07 Moment.
From vague plan to clear compass. Your task as CEO: stating the destination so sharply that no one doubts any more. A team without vision is a boat without a captain.
Stop selling. Start creating value. Customers buy when they feel understood. Value brings trust, trust brings profit. Turn every customer into an ambassador.
The right people. The right place. The right example. Weak leaders collect executors. Strong leaders build leaders. Your job is to remove obstacles.
Structure brings calm. Rhythm brings gain. Everyone has plans. Few have a rhythm. Without cadence every strategy runs aground on Monday morning.
Turnover is vanity. Profit is reality. Cash is oxygen. Too many CEOs know their revenue and not their margin. Every euro must deliver something, today and tomorrow.
The reason you ever started. You are only free when your business runs without you having to push. Impact is the legacy of leadership. Freedom is the proof that you have done well.
Kurt combines strategic acuity with genuine commitment. A straightforward approach that confronts where needed and supports where it counts.
He works to suit each leader: tailored to your context, stage of growth and personality. You get someone alongside you who daring to think, challenge and guide without losing the human side.
Kurt uses AI as a strategic second brain: recognising patterns in a single session, running scenarios while you watch and sparring between sessions.
This is a practical workbook for leaders who want to take up their role sharply again, with AI as a tool to think faster and structure better.
Each chapter contains practice, principles and concrete choices that translate into actions for the next 90 days. The CEO SUPERNOVA Framework in 6 pillars is the backbone of every coaching programme at Take Action.

“Ik was zaakvoerder van 12 mensen en belde zelf nog klanten op. Binnen 9 maanden had ik een team met een wekelijks ritme, steeg de omzet met 23% en nam ik voor het eerst in 6 jaar een volledige vakantieweek. Zonder dat iemand me belde.”
Plans almost always fail on execution. In every programme your actions are fixed: per quarter in a 90-day plan, per week in concrete steps. Kurt follows up on what is done and what is left undone. Postponing becomes visible, and therefore rare.
