A Conversation with Christine McDougall on The Soul of Business

Aug 19, 2014

In this conversation with Christine McDougall, we focus on discussing The Soul of Business.

Listen in as Christine and I talk about:

Conscious of the presence of time
The act of completion, approaching the last 20 years of productive life
Mortality – a different relationship with time
Go hard or go home – Hiro would always go home
The shift from looking at yourself from the outside in, to looking at yourself from the inside out
Once you have given your business everything and you are depleted, what will show up is depletion in you and in the world of your business
Will power is an extremely limited resource. Use it like a condiment, rather than the main course
Do something each day that has no purpose related to your business – something you do just for love
It’s the things that you meet without an agenda that remind you of the truth of relationships. Agenda driven relationships are short term. They are transactional.
We are all born knowing who we are, knowing we have these amazing gifts and capacities – the process of growing up is learning how to negotiate the difference between the limitless capacities on a soul level and the limitations of a physical life.
There is a value to the individual life in the West that is not available in India.
