Hal Goldstein: Magazine Publisher


hal_grass_smallerHAL GOLDSTEIN in 1985, founded Thaddeus Computing, which publishes magazines about small computers (current publication, iPhone Life magazine), and which resells pre-owned handheld devices (Usedhandhelds.com). Webmaster of this website,  MeditatingEntrepreneur.com.

Advice from Hal

“In business it is too easy to fool ourselves and believe that achieving some goal will make us happy.”

“Keeping your word is the cornerstone to personal and professional success in life. Keeping your word builds self-confidence and trust. Be impeccable about keeping small promises, and eventually you know you can manifest anything you commit to.”

“If you want what’s best for the customer, and your well-being doesn’t depend on the sale, selling is easy.”

“A company vision sustains, inspires, and empowers the business by giving work meaning and providing it with direction and definition. The culture, the character, and purpose of a business are rooted in its underlying vision.”

“Business is about building effective relationships with all its stakeholders — employees, suppliers, partners, lenders, customers, the community.”

“Let go of your attachment to money and attract it by donating monthly, even if you think you can’t afford it.”

“Listen to your inner voice for powerful and effective decision-making. Go inside. Feel centered and knowing. Allow the answer to come.”

“For success, customers must believe your promise about the product; employees must believe your word; partners, suppliers, and lenders must trust you.

“Start with the goal and make an unshakeable commitment to achieve it. Success comes from committing to an outcome followed by the clarity and strength of character to realize it.”

Hal Goldstein has transformed his powerful, popular business school course, “The Successful Entrepreneur” into a must-read book for aspiring entrepreneurs. The reader can’t help but assimilate that inner peace and outer abundance go hand-in-hand, and that anything is possible when starting with the stillness experienced from the daily practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique.
