THIS IS WHAT I GOT OUT OF THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT
As I was catching up I did this assignment in one go. It was very intense but extremely efficient. I would myself in a beautiful flow which gave me so much energy I just forgot all about the time.
THIS IS WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM DOING THIS WEEK'S PROCESS
I've chosen topics I love to talk about. Topics which interests me. Thanks to "How to Find Out Which Book to Write" I got a huge amount of tips. First I'd try to identify some topics for a book on my own. I ended up with a few topics. Then I tried the second day, thinking about the questions of my customers. I got some more topics. But when I went on to GOOGLE entering a number of themes related to my field of interest, the topics just exploded. They increased with 110% if not more. I only stopped because it was way past midnight.
Loved it.
THIS IS HOW I'VE CELEBRATED THE COMPLETION OF THE WOMB WEEK
I picked up the phone and called a number of dear friends and family member who have been trying to get hold of me for a long time, and gave them my time, paying attention to their pain, sorrow and happy moments. It was very beautiful just being there when I was needed.

I have already written a book once and I still live to write a book. The process made a lot of sense again, even though I knew I was going to write another book.
Process is about the target group. And later also in the VIP product training.
I have a lot to tell and further the story and meaning of writing a book and getting a book gives a position and a quality and possibilities that I want.
This week was again a pleasure to be so busy with company. I already had my party on Thursday. That day I went to Noordwijk with my in-laws of the father who had dementia. A wonderful day to refuel. Has given me a lot.

This week I took some steps to research off-grid solutions (tiny house congress, meeting really interesting people + many insights and idea's. Discuss introduction of a special product into the dutch market). The comments from Nisandeh last week, and Thursday in the workshop has been very helpfull to expand my mindset. I still don't understand fully (not sure if I can apply the insights fully on my business), but I am sure I will be able to transform my business and make myself a financially free entrepreneur. I have some great book ideas and I am determind to write one or some. As a celebration I had a silence retreat this Sunday. Thanks.

what I get out of this assignment
- I was so happy I finished my book.... do I need to do another one?
at first I felt resistance, after that I feel more relaxed and loved the brainstorm
- I trust I can wright another book in a shorter time and deliver value, cutting it in peaces.
In the mean time, I cleaned my desk, focussed on a few things I really needed to do and I'm proud I could stay with that. That feels like a big win for me:)
Happy!

1. What I got out of this week’s assignment?
That I can write one book and use the basics for 2 other books and become a expert in the whole erea.
All I need to do is collect the informtiation that already exist and no one sofar did put together
2. What I learned from doing this week’s process?
That I almost fell back in to a habbit of filling up all the free time I created and I have to be the guard of my time, so I did. I told a new client that I dont have time this week and that next week the can have a appointment.
3. How am I going to celebrate my completion of this WOMB week?
By cleaning up my storgage ass the carpenter finnaly is finshed and I can store all the stuff and see easly what I need to order.

I got a clear picture of the books I can publish. Sin suggested a way of using the topics I didn’t think about. Next week I try to talk about that with her.
I am going to reach out to some of my ideal clients to ask them which of the topics they are the most interested in and way. I also loved the workshop about my VIP product. It gave me several insights, but the most important one is that I have clarity what my VIP product could be and I pitched it right away. Next week I write the first proposal for it.
Best lesson is that I have to keep it simple and keep in mind the Law of Attraction and the snowball effect of setting things in motion.
With my friend Luc Donners I agreed Wednesday to make the book in 2023 about neglected municipal organizations (verwaarloosde gemeentelijke organisaties). On Friday I had also good insights during my intervision session with colleagues (public leaders/directors) like me. The insights were about my halfyear planning from January to July 2023. Working less in interim-management and more time for exercise or train 6 times a week and writing at least one book.
Celebrating is for me this weekend to take a moment and be grateful for the small and big things in my life and choices I made this year and really acknowledge myself so that I can be proud of my results. By my Calvinist upbringing it is difficult for me. So for me it feels quickly me showing off or bragging. And that is the last thing I want to do.
But when my financial forecast I can not ignore the fact that my turnover this year will be 30% higher than in 2021. I am stepping up to a revenue I could never have dreamed of. And I can push the next 3 months from this WOMB program to an even higher level. In the Business Bootcamp in 2012 I set a number for my turnover and it exceeds that number now. #Giving100% and #stayinginline!

WOW ! So cool you reached a goal from 10 years ago.

In fact Max, I reached the number I set for myself in 2012 in 2017. And this year 2022 I doubled the revenue of 2017. Now I see the sequence of growth every 5 year. And I am on my way to be wealthy and financial freedom. Me happy 😊

Hi Alexander,
It looks like the fruit trees you planned in 2012 are starting to bear their first fruit. I believe that the harvest will be much bigger in the future. Maybe it's time you started thinking about whether to retire to Tenerife. It cannot be otherwise with such fruit trees 🤭.

A book has come on my radar again.
I don't have the time to write it now. It will be create alongside with my product. 1 times work, 2 results.

It was such a wonderful week and a wonderful subject!
What did you get out of this week’s assignment?
This program is super valuable and gives so much insights. Everything is interesting and offers me something to learn from. The extra workshop was amazing! Sometimes I get overwhelmed by it all. I need to make a decision, so I can filter what I need right now.
Even though I've done this week’s assignment before, it was great to see that I could come up with even more ideas for a book. What I'm just not going to do - right now - is submit the titles and write a new book. I already have a book. And partly because of my buddies I realize that I can work with that book within WOMB . Otherwise, I'll do my best to do something for a target audience that is just not to the right audience.
What did you learn from doing this week’s process?
Actually, the most urgent thing I learned came from the extra workshop on Thursday. And it is that I am targeting the wrong audience. Highly educated Millennials are a beautifull audience and I love them dearly, but … they have limited purchasing power … or willingness. I am really done with the fact that they think a €1.000,- is enough for a super valuable retreat. And that €100,- an hour is expensive for great and effective coaching. I am not going to leave them. But for this program I will make a shift towards a different target audience: women in their late 50’s, who have already achieved a lot in their career and now want something different, who are highly sensitive, want to live from love and are ready for a different view on life.
How are you going to celebrate your completion of this WOMB week?
Although I did not finish the assignment properly, for me the decision to address a different target group is crucial and certainly worth celebrating. I'm terrified. But I'm in this program to "do things differently", so here I go. And that's what I'm celebrating, by visiting a friend this weekend.

WOW Manny, this is an important step that can pívot your whole business to a whole new level.
I just want to share a sentence that popped in my head…
50s are the NEW Millennials…
I wonder if your new target audience would appreciate it 😅

Thank you so much for your supportive words and spontaneous suggestion, Nisandeh. 🙏🏻 Much appreciated!

Hi Manny,
Maybe those women in their late 50’s have something special to offer to the Highly educated Millennials. They do the work and you own the money 😉

I got better ideas for my chapters - thank you so much!
I learned that I just should start without reading, what I wrote. So I asked my buddy to keep me accountable right after the outline is clear.
I celebrated live with my clan-members - the first get-together since I opened up the community. I was fantastic!
They brought their products, asked for help like you normally just ask close friends, shared their wins... <3
I don't have words for it. I just loved it!

Ik heb me deze week gerealiseerd dat het heel goed haalbaar is dat ik een goed nonfictie-boek kan schrijven. Om te helpen focussen op wat ik echt wil vertellen en waar heel exact de focus in mijn bedrijf ligt, als visitekaartje en naslag voor mijn ideale klanten, veel vragen die bij herhaling terugkomen zijn dan al beantwoord.
Om aan ideeën te komen koos ik om op Amazon te gaan kijken. Ik ontdekte dat dat wel een snoepwinkel is voor boekenliefhebbers, en ik houd zo van boeken. Het kostte me twee avonden om alle onderwerpen na te zoeken en aar de meest belangwekkende titels uit te halen. Die ben ik nu aan het ordenen en samenvatten. Dus ik heb nog een paar opdrachten te gaan. Ik kies voor de vraag over 'Leer de oplossing voor het probleem dat je oplost'.
Vervolgens ga ik via Forms van Outlook een vragenlijstje uitzetten over 7 tot 10 onderwerpen. De antwoorden worden vervolgens automatisch samengevat in een excelbestand.
Ondertussen volgde ik afgelopen maandag (en aanstaande maandag weer) een training over PersoonlijkeKracht en kleuren, en dus op de donderdagochtend de VIP-sessie van Nisandeh en Vered.
Hoe ga ik deze week vieren?
De week was overvol, ik moest ook nog 'gewoon' werken.
Ik ga m'n opdrachten afmaken - maar dat is deze keer ook 'spelen' voor deze boekenwurm,
en daarna en tussendoor: wandelen, niksen, muziek maken, morgenvroeg met kinderen en hun jarige vader en mijn man en ik, naar een inspirerende grappige waargebeurde ontbijtfilm in een hele gave bioscoop.
Fijn weekend iedereen!

(Original English)
I realized this week that it's very feasible that I can write a good nonfiction book. To help focus on what I really want to say and where exactly the focus is in my company, as a business card and reference for my ideal customers, many questions that come back repeatedly have already been answered.
To get ideas I chose to look on Amazon. I found that this is a candy store for book lovers, and I love books so much. It took me two evenings to research all the topics and pick out the most interesting titles. I am now organizing and summarizing them. So I have a few more assignments to go. I choose the question about 'Learn the solution to the problem you are solving'.
Then I will set up a questionnaire about 7 to 10 topics via Outlook's Forms. The answers are then automatically summarized in an excel file.
In the meantime, last Monday (and again next Monday) I followed a training about Personal Strength and colors, and therefore the VIP session of Nisandeh and Vered on Thursday morning.
How am I going to celebrate this week?
The week was overcrowded, I also had to work 'normally'.
I'm going to finish my assignments - but that's also 'playing' for this bookworm this time,
and after that and in between: walking, doing nothing, making music, in the morning with children and their father's birthday and my husband and I, to an inspiring funny true breakfast movie in a very cool cinema.
Have a nice weekend everyone!

What I got out of this week's assignment is that I made a public commitment to write my book to clients, peers and mentors. I think it works really well for my own drive and support system.
I have some really cool ideas on how to increase the quality of my products. And I trust my clients will be happy with it.
The vip product workshop offered a new way of creating and already an idea for an amazing training.
And I am learning a lot on fatherhood, supporting my wife and sticking to my own word and goals when it comes to working on my business.
Celebrating by:
- the parents in law will be making dinner for us every Friday night in september (I never realized this is something I want until this week)
- I'm in a bath tub with hot water and almond oil. Taking an hour to sit in the bath, listen to music and just be had become a scarce moment of pleasure. It's amazing.

I posted the title and blueprint of my book and when I see this I think: "If only I had written it yesterday!" The next step is to use all the tools that Nisandeh has provided and will provide to realize this book. I wonder if I will succeed in 29 days.
How am I going to celebrate this blueprint? Drinking a gin and tonic with my sweetheart at 5 p.m. with sincere attention to each other.

Thanks Max,
Would you please call me to explain what you mean by 'Want to share some writing time online?'. you have my number 😉

I have this feeling, Marcel, EVERY TIME I learn a valuable lesson… “WHY didn’t I know/do this yesterday?”
I can totally relate, and we both know it’s not productive.
What is productive (which you’re doing now) is: “HOW can I use it/make it today/tomorrow?”
Go for it!

Thank you again Nisandeh,
There is a lot to implement and the good thing about that is that I do it too. Over the weekend I realized my first three automations with ActiveCampaign and that was a hell of a job, because I don't like this and find it difficult. I have interviewed more and more people and that provides valuable information every time. I have now also added a Q&A page to my website and as soon as I have the information from the interviews I will adjust my website and LinkedIn.
Because there is no book from specialist to manager, I now feel a very strong urge to implement this quickly and write this book. My wife encouraged me to do this because she says this book is of interest to many more people. For now, every week is learning and implementing, implementing and re-implementing new lessons.
I aroused interest in the WOMB at one of my clients that I am going to interview and tells her how positive I am about my experiences with the WOMB . I still think the best gift is that through the VIP product I can describe in a few words the core of what my value is for others: Positively influencing employees.
Finally, this: I saw the inspiring video of Arnold Schwarzenegger on Youtube about how important it is to have a vision. He indicated that 70 percent are dissatisfied with the work people do in the US.
Everything I do now brings me closer to this goal of my vision of making the workplace fun again for everyone.

Hello all, Hello Nisandeh and Vered
This week's topic I followed not by comments.
It was just too much forcing myself in this topic at this moment of time. Instead I plondered around the idea of writing a book a lot because of the topic. I am going to do it in wintertime or early spring. Along the way I keep asking myself the questions from this week.
This week I finished my website and this gives me a structure to work along in writing that book.
Yesterday I followed the webinar of 4 hours with Nisandeh. It was utermost interesting. Like a travel. Also by this I got a more tangible feeling and ideas for a book
Thank you so much for all you are giving.
Cellebrating? I just arrived in Holland yesterday night. I am going to celebrate by seeing some loved ones

What did I get out of this weeks assignment
By inviting yourself to think about writing a book it helped me to get my topics clear and it inspired me to do something original for my ideal client.
What I learned from the process is that if I do this systematically creates order and again invites me to reflect on what I want to do.
Celebration by giving my s of time.
I’m celebrating the 1st of September with Nisandeh because I am inspired again too do my homework and I’m taking the time to enjoy being inspired and that all my creative juices are flowing again.
