Based on practical Buddhist principles and a step-by-step action plan, the cards transform both business & mindset. After 13 years of working as independent accountant on an hourly-rate basis, I was tired. I was often insecure and stressed about getting enough work. I wanted to grow, but without putting in more hours. I wanted to travel more and be able to work everywhere on something which
made m
e happy and brought happiness to others. Every time I speak with women entrepreneurs about their business, my brain instantly goes into overdrive. I immediately think of solutions to their problems. That makes me happy. I feel the passion. I asked myself how I could channel my creativity and passion into a product with which I could help all women entrepreneurs who have challenges. Women entrepreneurs, who just like me, aspire to develop a product which will make a difference in the world. Who want to earn money in a more creative way than fixed on an hourly rate. Who want to work smarter, not harder. Who feel the passion and go for it, infused with self-confidence. Buddhism and the Creating Value Cards
It took me years to discover that actually the most important things are your mind-set and your personal value(s). Letting go of your fears and limiting beliefs concerning money that stand in the way of your business. And to trust yourself, and your intuition. You have all the wisdom you
need, but now you need to listen to it! It isn’t that easy for an accountant, I can tell you! I am a champion at making mistakes but also a champion at setting goals and achieving them. I needed structure, an action plan and that’s why I created the BIZZ Road Map, which now led to the Creating Value Cards. A path that I follow myself, through my ups and downs. What helps me the most to overcome my challenges, is my Buddhist way of living. I concealed for years the fact I am a Buddhist because I thought most people would find the concept of a Buddhist accountant weird. Actually this is a wonderful combination and I can no longer view them separately. The interaction of 2 worlds: the rational world of the accountant with its practical solutions, and the intuitive world of the Buddhist, overcoming challenges through wisdom and action. I began
seeing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. And these experiences I can then share with others, in order to help them. What attracted me the most in Buddhism is the concept that “each day is a new beginning.” Also, that Buddhism is action, whereby I myself am responsible for my actions, and also for their consequences. Therefore I am able to create my own future. Practical Buddhist principles based on ACTION are woven into all steps of the BIZZ Road Map and the Creating Value Cards. For me, successful entrepreneurship is a matter of winning and not giving up, with a smile and a tear in its time. Don’t give up but persevere! It is a long journey from an idea to a successful business. However persistence wins! I hope that the Creating Value Cards can help you to win in this challenge!
