(8) The unhappy entrepreneur & the wise woman

Mirror

(9) Emptiness, by Rumi

I have said before that every craftsman

searches for what's not there

to practice his craft.

A builder looks for the rotten hole

where the roof caved in.

A water-carrier picks the empty pot.

A carpenter stops at the house with no door.

Workers rush toward some hint of emptiness,

which they then start to fill.

Their hope, though, is for emptiness,

so, don't think you must avoid it.

It contains what you need!

(14) Coming back to the 22 On Sloane framework

The aim of this Masterclass is to prepare startups for the trials and tribulations that come with being an entrepreneur.

Outcome:

1. Driving forces that direct, drive and sustain the entrepreneurial processes. (Macro, market, micro and inner forces - the world has gone mad! become crazier on the inside and you’ll find peace!)

2. Opportunity realization (learning to fall again, having fun! Like a baby, school and culture tell us that making mistakes is wrong, fail before you launch!)

3. Improvising (find your inner creative practitioner) and coping with uncertainty (Mindful Action Plan), get into flow before breakfast (Flow Genome Project)

4. Importance of having a dedicated team (internal and external)

(15) Nasrudin takes a bath aka The Best Business Plan

Best business plan:

Happy customer/client

Happy/engaged service/product provide

Positive cash flow.
