In today’s story, a wise old father shares valuable lessons. We, entrepreneurs, are reminded of the value of dedication and allowing success to unfold in its due time. We also find the benefit of seeing through the eyes of those with a broader perspective.
Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business storytelling. For decades, she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.
In this episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa reads “Story From Sufi Tradition” and extracts rich business and life lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes.
“We know that becoming a successful business owner doesn't happen overnight. And it's far from a one time effort.” – Lisa Bloom
Following a successful corporate career, Lisa Bloom became an entrepreneur, author, speaker and coach. She built a global business, Story Coach, supporting corporates, entrepreneurs, and coaches with speaking mastery, leadership capability, and marketing impact. Lisa is the author of The Story Advantage and Cinderella and the Coach.
Lisa is also the Director of Mirasee’s ACES Business Acceleration Program, helping entrepreneurs to achieve outstanding results in the growth of their business. There’s nothing Lisa loves more than to spend time with her partner and their four sons, walk her dog, travel, read, and share stories.
