Time competence is one of the key entrepreneurial traits that are highly needed to operate a business. It is the ability to link what have been done in the past and what is desired to accomplish in the future in order to allocate resources available to meet the goals. This requires the well-developed skill of building functioning plans and strategies. It can also be described as planting a tree to take shelter from today while learning from the past and forecasting the actions need to be taken to create the desired future.
Eckhart Tolle has been a great example of demonstrating the traits of time competence. He is a world renowned spiritual teacher and author who is a German-born resident of Canada. (About Eckhart Tolle) He has been described as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States” by an article in the New York Times and ranked first by the Watkins Review as “the most spiritually influential person in the world”. (Eckhart Tolle, 2015)
Eckhart Tolle has a depressed childhood due to a broken family and hostile school environment. After suffering from long periods of suicidal depression, a profound inner transformation totally changed the course of his life at the age of 29. He began writing his first book entitled “The Power of Now”, published in 1997 which reached the New York Time Best Seller list and being translated into more than 30 languages later. Eckhart published his second book, “Stillness Speaks” in 2003 and third book, “A New Earth” in 2005.
