DENVER, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Things are running
like clockwork. Profits are high, salary is excellent, perks
are plentiful. The media is calling, coverage is
positive. Then poof - it's gone. Like many
entrepreneurs, Brian Gast lived in a
bubble – filled with delusions of grandeur and a sense of
import. In his new book, "The Business of Wanting
More: Why Some Executives Move From Success To Fulfillment
And Others Don't," Gast shares not only his personal story, but
presents the transformational Q7 Process which will help
executives, struggling between success and happiness, achieve
both.
Somewhere along his journey, Gast says, "I became fascinated by
the workings of the psyche and committed myself to dissolving the
illusions that kept me from seeing what was true about myself and
the world. Something deep inside told me that my life was no
accident; that I, in fact, was uniquely equipped to help busy
executives discern what truly fulfills them. Taking what I learned
about transforming human behavior, I created the Q7 Process to help
executives move from success to fulfillment."
The Q refers to the quadrant, one quarter of the
four-dimensional grid comprised of Feeling, Acting, Thinking, and
Being; the 7 refers to the seven steps of the process. These
steps span three stages: Preparation (steps 1, 2, and 3);
Transformation (steps 4 and 5); and Integration (steps 6 and
7):
Step One: Take a Fearless Inventory of Your
Life
Step Two: Create A Vision For Your Life
Step Three: Remove The Barriers To Fulfillment
Step Four: Burst Your Bubble
Step Five: Build Your Court Of Support
Step Six: Create a Personal-Practices Regimen
Step Seven: Draw A Road Map To Your Future
In "The Business of Wanting More," readers will move
through these seven steps, closely evaluating oneself and
identifying areas for change. Gast explains how following the
program will integrate one's leadership responsibilities with a
whole-life view; tap unused skills; create better ways to respond
to high-stress situations while generating more powerful results;
and, most importantly, explore how to create a roadmap to success
and fulfillment.
"The Business of Wanting More," is an essential handbook
for corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and start-up innovators
that couldn't be more timely or appropriate in today's competitive
and stressful business climate.
"The Business of Wanting More" is for anyone who has
worked hard and made sacrifices to achieve their career ambitions
only to discover that what they were seeking left them empty,
unfulfilled, and lost. Brian Gast is
writing for an audience – the successful unhappy – that has been
largely ignored and not talked about in business and management
publishing," said Brian Watson,
Ph.D., former Global Head, Operational Excellence and Capability
Development for Credit Suisse.
