Visionary Business: An
Entrepreneurs Guide to Success by
Marc Allen
Keeping It Simple
This transformative book has helped people all over the world to not only
envision and create success but also build a truly visionary business: one
that supports its employees, the community, and the environment.
We meet Marc Allen’s mentor Bernie, an unforgettable character who
teaches Marc the ways of ethical and socially responsible business.
Together they turn Marc’s fledgling attempts at business into a thriving
corporate success, founded on diverse principles of positive psychology,
Eastern and Western spirituality, market savvy, and simple kindness.

Marc finds that it’s all too easy to fall prey to anxieties and negative beliefs
when you set out to create your own business, especially if you are
learning the details as you go. Fortunately, Bernie shows Marc the most
important thing of all: how to transform his thinking and change his old
beliefs. This essential inner work is one of the great keys Bernie gives
Marc. Step by step, Marc learns everything necessary to create the
business of his dreams.
Personal Review: Visionary Business: An Entrepreneurs Guide
to Success by Marc Allen
...and that's needed today more than ever. I had never heard of Marc Allen
before finding this book in audio format at a local rental store. You may not
have heard of him, either, but whether you are starting a business or just
trying to manage your life better, I encourage you to check out the audio or
print version of this book.I was just looking for something to help me in my
work. The title "Visionary Business" caught my eye. It was a short, yet
unabridged audio book, and read by the author. I figured it might help.
Couldn't hurt. Why not try it? What I expected to get was the usual one or
two good ideas that might make it worth the price of the listening... It's such
a thin volume, after all.What I got instead was a new vision and practical
approach to my business and to living, which was so amazing... It's such a
thin volume, after all.In it, we meet a character named Bernie, who says
(among other things): "When you believe in yourself enough, your most
important desires will become intentions, and your intentions will manifest
in reality. It's a law of nature. Intentions produce results. Our thoughts and
our words are powerful -- powerful enough to create what we want... So be
it. So it is."At the same time, I was reading THE POWER OF NOW, by
Eckhart Tolle, and having daily Ah-Ha's that were nudging me into a little
more presence and away from some of my old head trash... In Visionary
Business, I was reading a story of a struggling start-up business and an
entrepreneur who reminded me of myself. I'm sure many readers would
feel the same. At one point, Bernie asks the young man how his business
plan is working, and he describes it as a barge that is very hard to move...
He is then encouraged, not to work on his plans, forecasts, action plans,
etc., but on his VISION -- the vision of that barge... because as long as he
sees it as not moving, nothing else he does will matter.Understanding that
your vision is the controlling factor is vital. There's a song I love by David
Wilcox, that includes the words: "I got such a mess between my ears
like dishes in the sink
Stuff I don't believe just tumbles in
until I don't have room to think...
...All my failures are on display,
the broken dreams of yesterday

Stuff I should have thrown away,
but I've kept it here instead
I've got to empty out the inside of my head"Stuck barge or cluttered head,
we get what we envision, and the power of our intention is greater than we
have dreamed. This is a storyteller's tale. Spun more than told, and
practical as well, with business advice and guidelines for a healthy
enterprise in addition to the emphasis on working on your vision (and
emptying the trash from the inside of your head).A final thought that I found
helpful (in reading the author's bio) was this: Decide you are going to do
everything in life in an easy, relaxed manner & a healthy and positive
way... I appreciate that bit of vision a lot -- maybe most of all, and I'm
seeing its fruit in the lives around me.
