The fifth book in the acclaimed
Zentrepreneur Guides® series, this interactive idea log, from the
authors and successful brand-builders who never travel without pen
and paper at hand to jot down their own ideas, is a powerful tool
for all those pursuing their dreams to help focus their attention on
objectives, set priorities and track performance.
Laced throughout with questions,
quotes, spaces for journal entries and captivating Zen drawings, the
idea log gives ideas the space to be nourished and to grow, helping
Zentrepreneurs -- 21st century entrepreneurs who are looking for
contentment in life as well as success in business -- take action on
all the wonderful, inspiring lessons presented in the previous books
in the series, Success at Life, Dragon Spirit, and Tiger
Heart, Tiger Mind. Wowisms, another companion to the
series, collects the authors' best-loved sayings and bits of wisdom.
Rubin and Gold dedicate pages to
worklists with special prompts:
- Now is the time for action.
Dream . . . think . . . act! Everything else is mythology
- List your resources, support
systems, skills to bring your idea to life
- Embrace your imaginative
power, be a thinker-upper/writer-downer
The idea log's other pages are open
for the freeform creative expression of ideas, and the refining,
sorting through, augmenting, and planning that inevitably go with
them.
More than just a notebook, the
book's pages feature peaceful, inspiring Zen brushstroke paintings,
complemented by the empowering phrases for which the authors have
become known. "An idea is a calling that screams to those that quiet
themselves long enough to listen," the authors urge on one page.
They note on another, "The ancestor to every success is an idea."
Sidebar passages blend ancient wisdom and proverbs with the
realities of everyday life to impassion readers to go after their
dreams.
Having already laid the groundwork
in the previous books in the series, Gold sums up the need for this
new addition in his introduction, writing, "What you must realize is
that the simple act of writing down an idea is more than putting pen
to paper, it is a very assertive way of endowing yourself with
ascendancy, helping you to become a more powerful creative thinker,
providing you with the infusion of certain confidence and emotional
energy."
