GLENDALE — Fatima Bustos-Choy, Ph.D., knows what it is like to deny her own inner voice. After all, it took her 20 years to write her new book on that very topic, “More Than Money: Five Paths to Abundance and Success for Inner-Centered Entrepreneurs,” until finally that inner voice grew too loud to ignore.
Bustos-Choy believes, “Each of us has this inner voice that knows more than we ever know, sees more than we ever see, and from this innate knowing, it speaks to us, guides us to our true north. However, we don’t always hear this voice… Believing that answers come from the outside, we have learned to not trust ourselves and our answers from within. We have unintentionally and, at times, intentionally blocked these answers from coming forth… The inner voice has become fainter and fainter, almost negligible. We have become deaf to our own inner voice.”
To research “More Than Money,” Bustos-Choy relied on multiple voices, not just her own. She interviewed 30 entrepreneurs to understand their minds and hearts, their joys and sorrows, wins and losses, and whether an inner voice spoke to them. Bustos-Choy discovered Five Paths from which the inner voice comes through.
In the book, she answers topics as:
- What is meant by an inner-centered entrepreneur?
- The five paths outlined in “More Than Money”
- How can people get answers from their heart, body and soul?
- How can entrepreneurial pain lead to entrepreneurial gain?
- Does the Asian American business community have any special challenges that she can address?
