My new book De Weg Terug will be available to order soon.

Over the past few years, many people have asked me how I overcame my business crisis.

In this book, I tell the story behind that return. About starting again, rebuilding confidence and, along the way, coming to see both success and life differently.

Success, falling down and getting back up.

Jonald on this book

The biography reads like a successful entrepreneurial adventure. The sequel is a real page-turner…

From one moment to the next, everything fell apart. An unprecedented attack on the entire Bouwhuis Group, and later on Mr Wiegel. The game continued. It grew nastier.

Targeting not just the business but the individuals, and trying to discredit Mr Wiegel and me. Data stolen from secure systems, GPS trackers placed under cars, lawyers who crossed the line and were removed from practice. People with hidden agendas who played dirty. Investigations by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service, the Authority for the Financial Markets, the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service and the Tax Administration, culminating in proceedings at the Court of Appeal in The Hague.

The panic that strikes, the emotions that take over, and me as an entrepreneur and a person who, in other people’s eyes, had risen too far above the crowd.

The real story behind the Bouw State funds: an extraordinary drama with a remarkable ending. You can read it in this book.

Jonald on this book

At last, I have done it. After much discussion and thought, I have written my own account of roughly twenty years in business. From dishwasher to investor, mainly in property.

Years of hard work, with my own vision and methods that gave many accountants and advisers headaches. I took risks with my health and finances, but ultimately reached precisely where I wanted to be: the point of saying, “I am content and happy.” Above all, I value quality of life and the people around me.

I wish you enjoyable reading and wisdom.
