The Mindful Entrepreneur: How to rapidly grow your business while staying sane, focused and fulfilled


Joel Gerschman - 2017
    Fusing proven, cutting-edge business strategy with powerful mindfulness practices, you’ll learn an immediately practical, holistic approach to achieving business success and personal fulfilment. You’ll also gain access to a range of tools, templates and resources designed to help you: • generate rapid, profitable growth; • create a business that can run without you; and • stay sane, focused and fulfilled. If your business is not giving you the wealth, freedom and fulfilment that you desire, if you feel like a slave to your business rather than master of it, The Mindful Entrepreneur is for you. "The Mindful Entrepreneur will force you to revisit your "Why." Why do you run a business? And how does that fit into your life? Managing a company without a clear measure of purpose and balance is suicide. This book not only teaches us how to survive, but how to access our full potential through a mindful approach. Every business owner should read it.” Jesse Tevelow, Best Selling author of The Connection Algorithm
