“Unless you are clear near nothing will be … once you are clear everything will be” – Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business

Welcome to the first of my series of 8 videos in which – over the coming week – I’ll be sharing some of the tips, insights and themes from my new book Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business.

While the book is aimed at those who are their own boss or thinking about it, the book’s 7 (plus one) essential principles –  clarity, customers, courage, co-operation, conversations, creativity, compassion …+ change are relevant in all areas of our life and career. Chapter by chapter the Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business helps you to follow your heart and to build your business / career from your heart by utilising your skills, strengths, passion, purpose …and by forging rich relationships with others. 

Some of you may have read  tips from Soul Trader series in articles I’ve written sharing tips from the book  The Voice, Rapport magazine – or the British Library’s Business & IP Centre and other publications. The keen-eyed among young will also know that I began writing a series here on my website blog. But for you I thought I’d share the tips directly through a series of videos. Here’s the first on Clarity. 

Clarity is absolutely essential. Focus, motivation and inspiration are among the most common things clients approach me to help them with in life, career and business – and they all spring from clarity. Once yo are clear about who you are, what’s important, what your skills/talents/passion/purpose/goals/values/story is/are you will develop a huge amount of the drive, discipline and passion necessary to progress as your own boss.
