If I\u2019m honest with you, there are moments when it\u2019s quite exhausting to let all these topics flow through me. It takes a lot of energy, time, and attention. And it hurts. But it\u2019s OK. I needed to learn how to deal constructively with emotions, pain, and tensions anyway. The good news is that I\u2019m getting quite the hang of it. So now, not only me but you and others can also benefit from it. A win-win-win!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there\u2019s another downside to this project. Did you know that publishing costs 5 to 10 thousand euros per book? A marketing budget would add another couple of thousands. Plus, in a normal world, I would need to receive compensation for the thousands of hours I have spent on it. It is work, after all, and not a hobby. Note to self: let\u2019s keep that in mind&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, I have frequently been asked if I wanted to provide free lectures or free books. The answer to this is no. Sustainable recovery, growth, change, and leadership also mean that all costs that lead to a high-quality product or service are included in the final price. Working and doing business sustainably means taking responsibility for what it costs to achieve well-being and a high-quality product in work and life. For many people, this is a challenge. But I hope to set the example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;About&#8221; module_id=&#8221;Warmte&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_line_height_tablet=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_line_height_phone=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; text_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Implementing what is needed in a credible way<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning to constructively address the imbalance that has been passed down through generations is the best thing I have ever done. It changed my view and attitude toward life and set an inner recovery process in motion.

Naturally, this led to a win-win-win situation for everyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By lovingly enveloping my sensitivities and taking care of them, I lose nothing. I only win.
