You may know that in October last year I launched my new book Soul Trader -Putting the Heart Back into Your Business published by Kogan Page.
Soul Trader is all about how to follow your heart, be your own boss and build a business that you and your customers will love by following your mission, passion, purpose and talents. It simplifies business and shows how to cut the financial / emotional costs by building your business through forging strong relationships.
Since then it’s been launched in Europe, the USA and in Asia and I’ve been very touched by the reviews and feedback Soul Trader has received so far. At the moment I’m writing a series of articles on the book from a few places including Rapport Magazine and The Voice – and a series thats currently being published on the British Library’s website.
I’d also – a few weeks ago – started to write a series of articles here on this blog – but I thought I’d go one better by producing a series of short videos where – chapter by chapter – I share a few few of the tips, insights and principles from the book with you.
So over the coming weeks that’s what I’ll be doing. To get us started here’s an intro video which shares why I wrote the book and the context in which its written. Next up Chapter 1 Clarity – and to find out more about Soul Trader.
Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business by Rasheed Ogunlaru, published by Kogan Page price £14.99. You can get your copy here on Amazon, here from Kogan Page or from good bookshops. Watch more videos from Soul Trader.
What I love about this book is that it is not just a book about business. This is a book about human culture and the way in which we show up as human beings, this book is great for the individual and great for the person with many companies, projects, ventures. What I have taken from this book is the great questions Rasheed poses which challenge you to look deeper into the reasons you do what you do. I have come away thinking to myself and asking what impact am I having on the world and every living thing. How can I create the future with my conscious decision NOW. This is an exciting look at what conscious business may look like as we evolve into new states of being and co-create new structures as we allow the ones which haven’t served us to dissolve along with the business they have provided. My hope is we even create a new word for business too. If we put the heart into business I see our ways of exchanging gifts and services becoming more harmonious for all involved. These are exciting times if you are not living in fear. Soul Trader has soul. Thank you Rasheed for taking the time to create a book from authenticity and with a desire to help people and the world.
