Stoic philosophy for modern business #005

Words of Wisdom...

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
Seneca

Welcome to the relaunch of Word of Mouth.

Where timeless Stoic insight meets today’s business reality.

Our mission.

Word of Mouth exists to guide modern professionals through the noise of today’s business world using the timeless clarity of Stoic philosophy.

In a culture obsessed with growth at all costs, I'll provide a grounded alternative. One rooted in ancient wisdom, personal discipline, and meaningful work.

Stoicism.

Here is a quick reminder of the 4 core virtues Stoicism is based on:

  1. Wisdom - Right judgement and decision-making
  2. Courage - Doing what is right, even in fear of difficulty
  3. Justice - Fairness and moral integrity
  4. Temperance - Self-control and balance

In future editions, we'll unpick what this actually means, how it links to business today and how you can practically begin to incorporate to achieve a positive impact in your (work-)life.

Relevance.

The fact remains that success in business today comes down to how well you interact with and understand people.

Your ownership of what's within your control. And your reaction to external events happening around you. Will be the determining factor in how successful and content you are within your career.

And do you want to know what the good news is?

This is never going to change. And it is relevant no matter who you are or what stage of your career you find yourself in.

Whether you're a founder of a start-up, intern just starting out, mid-level employee or CEO of a multi-national corporate.

Stoic philosophy is relevant to all and the journey to mastery with application in your career can propel you to heights you won't believe are possible.

Whilst finding inner peace and contentment with the life you have built yourself.

So, if you're looking to understand yourself and others better whilst achieving ambitious goals.

This is the newsletter for you.

"Don’t skate to where the puck is, skate to where it’s going to be." – Wayne Gretzky Objective: In two minutes or less, you'll gain a new insight or perspective to apply in your life.

The market is the sole dictator of whether your product will be a success. Is there a...
