Why do some people and businesses accomplish deep and resounding success and prosperity while others do not? What are the qualities that set them apart? Prior to writing this book, Ashkan Tashvir spent more than a decade working with and studying entrepreneurs, startups, leaders and investors, including many exceptionally high achievers, to discover the behavioural patterns and qualities that determine success or failure. He found that it's not due to a lack of capital, technology or the right techniques or strategies; it's because of who and how they are BEING, the underlying qualities that drive their behaviours and actions. In his book, BEING, Ashkan lays out a comprehensive paradigm called the Being Framework¿ which distinguishes each of these qualities, mapping out how and why each plays a critical role in performance, effectiveness, influence and leadership. Too many leaders overlook the people side of business. This framework is engineered to deliver a unique, systematic way to address this. The Being Framework transcends far beyond today's popular quick-fix recipes for success or self-affirmation. Instead, it draws your attention to the extraordinary power of discovering and honing your well-polished qualities and casting light on your Being to reveal the 'shadow' or troubled parts of you, explaining how those can be transformed. Fundamentally, this book focuses on how to BE so you can have whatever you care most about in life and make a meaningful contribution to humanity.
