Renovation of an apartment is the horror of our town or an incredible adventure. Part 3
An important condition for the repair not to completely ruin you is to protect yourself from deception. But even here we, the Russian people, find it difficult to overpower ourselves. We are very gullible, used to trust everything that we are told. For us, justice is above the law, and personal attitude is more important than "pieces of paper". We do not like all these contracts and receipts, in general, everything that reminds us of the law and restriction.
Nevertheless, it is simply necessary.

How to make repairs and not go broke
In order to properly distribute costs, you need to plan them correctly first. As experienced people say, plan your renovation costs and multiply them by two - then you get the approximate amount you need for your project.
Well, there is a grain of truth in this, and there is even an analogy with the fact that human desires are always growing. And each subsequent desire becomes twice as large as the previous one, as Yuri Burlan speaks about at the training "System-Vector Psychology".
However, this is not the only point. In the process of construction work, many unforeseen details arise that are not always possible to foresee due to the lack of special knowledge. That is why at the stage of planning a repair it is worthwhile to communicate a lot, to make inquiries with people who have gone through it, as well as with specialists who will help you do it.
Talk to workers, discuss possible options. Go shopping, ask the price for materials and furniture. Take advantage of the services of designers, who now often offer to do a blitz project of a room for free in the hope that you will buy something from them in the future. This will set the right direction for your thoughts, help you understand what you want, and at the same time estimate the amount that can be useful in creating your dream home.
At this stage, you will also really need knowledge of human psychology, the ability to ask questions correctly, listen and hear what you are told, and thereby obtain the necessary information. We have already learned how to communicate with different people in the previous parts of the article. Let us dwell in more detail on those pitfalls that lie in wait for a Russian person when he tries to approach the issue of repairs prudently and pedantically, in a word, as expected.
Repair in Russian
At the training "System-vector psychology" Yuri Burlan very accurately describes the peculiarities of the worldview of residents of different countries, dwelling in more detail on the opposite of the properties of the Western (skin) and Russian (urethral-muscular) mentality.
And this is not just theoretical reasoning. This knowledge has real practical application, since we can see how the mental superstructure, in addition to the individual vector properties of a person, has a significant impact on the way of life of people, their values and attitude to business. This means that they help to take into account all the strengths and weaknesses of our decisions and actions.
The skin mentality gives a person the ability to limit himself, strictly follow instructions and plans, determines a pragmatic attitude towards business and an economical attitude towards resources, including money. This is why it is easy for Westerners to plan for future expenses and stick to the plan they have created.
Since the skin person loves personal comfort, novelty and high technology, it is easy to see why his interior will gravitate towards high-tech style. In design, everything will be simple, no frills, "curls and frills", but it will definitely be spent on high-quality household appliances, which in the future will save his efforts to serve himself and his family.
The Russian person has a completely different attitude to repair. On the one hand, we cannot meet the budget, because we cannot count money, plan expenses. On the other hand, we often save in the wrong place. For example, on basic communications - electrical, plumbing. But the load on them in a modern house has increased several times compared to what it was some 20 years ago. In the future, this leads to big problems - permanent breakdowns and even emergency situations. You can flood your neighbors, or you can burn down the house!
But no! We'd rather buy a gold toilet bowl or expensive Renaissance furniture, because this is an indicator of our love for luxury, which the owner of the urethral vector or the bearer of the mentality of the same name has.
In addition, with unlimited thinking, the skin vector in Russian people is very often insufficiently developed. Therefore, the situation is so often encountered when a Russian person saves in small ways, while losing in a big way. That is, when making a decision, he thinks about the immediate benefit, not really thinking about the consequences. There is a failure to understand the cause-and-effect relationships, which the developed skinhead so easily captures.
Russian people are quite dismissive of bodily comfort. The blood of nomadic steppe inhabitants speaks in us, who spent the night under the open sky in order to set off to explore new lands in the morning. That is why we tend to save money on the air conditioner so that later we will suffer from heat or cold for decades - these are such trifles compared to the world revolution!
I'm a bug without a piece of paper …
Another important condition for the repair not to completely ruin you is to protect yourself from deception. But even here we, the Russian people, find it difficult to overpower ourselves. We are very gullible, used to trust everything that we are told. For us, justice is above the law, and personal attitude is more important than "pieces of paper". We do not like all these contracts and receipts, in general, everything that reminds us of the law and restriction.
Nevertheless, it is simply necessary in order to somehow protect yourself from scammers or simply unscrupulous workers. At the very least, your attention to paperwork shows them that you are in control and are interested in preserving your funds.
Always ask for cost estimates, conclude contracts, take receipts for money and passport data. Feel free to do this, because it will provide you with a comfortable psychological state during the renovation process and will make your employees feel like you are a leader.
It is much easier to do this when there is a systemic understanding of human properties - innate and mental, as well as social psychological laws. We live in the skin phase of development, which requires us to be more sensitive to the law, to pay more attention to money. And even with opposite aspirations, with systemic knowledge it is much easier to integrate into the requirements of the time and situation.
By the way, within the framework of the training "System-Vector Psychology", two additional thematic business sessions are periodically held, where our mental attitude to money is being worked out. In the reviews that you can read on the portal "System Vector Psychology" Yuri Burlan, it is noted that after these classes the ability to earn money increases, the false shame that Russian people have with money goes away, an adequate, healthy attitude to this area of life arises …
Do not go broke, but get
What else can you advise a Russian person so that not to infringe on your desires and not to harm your business? Realize yourself to the fullest for the good of society, because the urethral mentality is the mentality of giving, the priority of the public over the personal. And you will have enough funds to entrust the repair and its planning to a competent organizer with a developed skin vector, which you with systemic knowledge can certainly recognize.
After all, the time is now like that - we are becoming more and more interdependent, more and more narrow specialization is required. So let everyone do what he likes. Everyone has their own role in society, but only together we are strength!
