I've been an entrepreneur ever since, with both success and failure blended nicely along the way, but what was missing, from start to finish was real, good, grounded advice. Most business advice is either heavily financially based or it's laced with religious undertones, people's judgements on money or academic rhetoric.
So, in search of knowledge I did an MBA for two full years, in my opinion, graduating with less business acumen than when I started. My search led me to what might seem to be a really weird place to understand the human dynamics of business: nature. At first it sounds crazy, what could we learn about business from nature? My answer is: more than an MBA. Everything in the world works to the same laws. Those laws have been known since time began, but we forget them. So, now, after 20 years of study I'd like to share with you just an introduction to the application of the ancient laws of nature to modern business management. Good management does not have to be hard work. Success in business does not have to be stressful or painful. It can be enjoyable, as long as the model we work with is not a fantasy about how the world goes around. This is why the laws of nature are important for business: they ground management in reality and cause predictability for the future.view less
