For more than 12 years I have been going to a Trappist monastery in Moncks Corner, SC, called Mepkin Abbey. As a monastic guest, I wear a habit and temporarily live the life of a Trappist monk. I go primarily for spiritual reasons, but as a businessman and entrepreneur I am fascinated by the worldly aspect of the monastic life.
The business secrets of the Trappists that August Turak learned through his relationship with the monks of Mepkin Abbey are at the heart of the ancient yet emergent business model he calls service and selflessness.
He outlines these monastic secrets and their application to your business in:
-
A four part Forbes.com series: Business Secrets of the Trappists was the website’s most highly rated article for almost two weeks.
-
A lecture at Duke University in which Turak expands on the concept of transformational organizations to apply to personal career success as well as business.
Learn more about what the Business Secrets of the Trappists can do for you.
-
Read an interview with Turak about his most recent visit to Mepkin Abbey.
-
Learn how to apply the secrets of the Trappists to your own business.
-
Read Turak’s award-winning essay Brother John, an inspirational portrait of monastic success at the personal level.
Thanks for the post. My spouse and i have always seen that many people are desperate
to lose weight simply because they wish to show up slim as
well as attractive. Even so, they do not constantly realize that there are many benefits
so that you can losing weight also. Doctors insist that
overweight people experience a variety of ailments that can be instantly
attributed to their particular excess weight. Thankfully that people
who sadly are overweight and also suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity
of their particular illnesses through losing
weight. It is possible to see a steady but marked improvement in health while even a moderate amount
of fat loss is obtained.
Thanks so much for your comment. As someone on a diet right now , I am trying to practice what you preach! Best, August Turak
