Chronicles of the Being Entrepreneur

7 lessons in the first 3 years of Being Entrepreneurship

In 2010 I left a good position in a well established company to follow an ambitious dream. At the 3 year mark I took a step back to reflect on what I had learnt. Although at that point there were still many unknowns, there are also many valuable insights I had gained along the way.

Heart in Business research film

More and more people acknowledge the importance of "HEART" in business but we often misunderstand what this really means. Therefore the potential of the "HEART" remains underutilized in many organizations. The following video is a summary of the research I have done over the last year.

Thank you for taking a couple of mins of your time to watch this short but important film.

The CEO's Transformational Journey

This film tells the story of a CEO the night before delivering an important speech to his organization. His business is declining and he has run out of answers.

Rather than spend the night in the office trying to "figure it out", he decides to step out into the night where a series of unexpected encounters open up new inspiration and help him re-connect with the passion he felt earlier on in his career.
