Life

Felix Plötz is a graduate industrial engineer (TU) and founded a company in 2011 in addition to his position as Area Sales Manager at ABB AG .

The Little Life-Changing Booklet , published by Createspace in 2013 , reached first place as an e-book and as a print edition on the topic of “Motivation” on Amazon. The self-published book Palmen in Castrop-Rauxel was financed by crowdfunding and u. a. supported by the publisher, author and venture capitalist Florian Langenscheidt . Media such as Welt am Sonntag, RTL West Spiegel Online, Bild or the entrepreneurial magazine Impulse took up the published book or its creation. Gruner + Jahr published an abbreviated version of the autobiographical foreword of the book in Stern Extra: Träume Leben .

A year earlier, Felix Plötz founded the book publisher Plötz & Betzholz with the journalist Dennis Betzholz , which specializes in authors from social media (especially YouTube). In 2015, the publishing house was awarded the Frankfurt Book Fair's wildcard for its innovative, digital business model and thus prevailed against 180 other publishing start-ups in the international competition. In 2016 the Ullstein book publishers took over the young publisher. Plötz continues to run the publishing house together with Betzholz as managing director to this day. The publisher has already produced several SPIEGEL bestsellers. The two publishers were nominated for the Young Excellence Award of the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2016 for their work.

Plötz gives lectures on the topics of self-motivation , entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship in management.
