I thought I would summarize the breadcrumbs (aka “clues”) I have dropped so far, so you could see the trail of where I’ve already been laid out more clearly. There have been a few hints I’ve dropped without labeling them as such, so we’ll see if you were paying attention!
- I’m a Baha’i
- I love to learn
- I love to read
- This new career involves at least one activity that requires “mushin”
- It allows me total freedom to set my schedule
- It lets me use my unique talents (public speaking, organization, leadership and communication)
- It lets me serve humanity through the Baha’i Faith
- Books on CD
- It fills a need which I have identified in the world
- My mission through Verdanta is to “be always occupied with the mention of Baha’u'llah.”
- It involves building a business that aligns with the teachings of the Baha’i Faith
- My success depends on persistent, consistent, constant action.
- I have used the five steps described in “The Power of Prayer” to get where I am today.
That’s it so far. I’ll even toss out one more:
14. It requires the purchase of quite a bit of equipment that must be installed, configured, and learned.
Has anyone figured it out yet? Drop me a comment and let me know your guess!

Are you going to produce “books on tape (CD)”??

Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
Yes Darrell, I am indeed going to produce books on CD!
Care to guess as to what kind of books I’m going to produce?

Well, since you said that your business would serve the Cause of God, and since you’ve already taken flak from well-meaning but generally uninformed Baha’is about working for free, I’d have to guess that your books will be Baha’i-oriented, perhaps even the Scripture of the Baha’i Faith. I met a man named Bill Perry 35 years ago who produced some Baha’i books on tape (CDs hadn’t been invented yet) with his target audience being the vision-impaired. Today, books on CD are a great tool for the “schedlue impaired” millions who spend hours each day in their car.
