“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.”

BUSINESS
LEADERS ARE LEARNING THAT SUCCESS DOES
NOT ALWAYS EQUAL FULFILLMENT
New
Book Shows Executives The True Meaning of “Success”
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.
