THE WHITE HOT CENTER MANIFESTO
Thinking in a certain way.
A manifesto for the new breed of 21st century entrepreneurs.
A manifesto is a public declaration of policy, principals or point of view. The word comes from the Latin manifestus, which means to be clear, conspicuous, to make obvious or evident to the senses. The meaning also implies a framework for transforming formless ideas into physical form–to manifest.
This book is about thinking in a certain way–a mindset manifesto to transform the way you think about your business and its potential to change the world. Through 21 powerful principles, you'll discover how to develop a strategic mindset, position your business for unparalleled competitive advantage, create unrivaled value for high-value customers, implement premium pricing strategies, master business development and sales, forge strategic partnerships, and become the visionary leader your business needs to thrive.
Each chapter is a stand alone beacon of guidance, but when integrated as cohesive "spiritual software," in your business, these principles will catapult your progress in quantum leaps. Embrace these principles and you'll not only build a thriving, influential business—you'll also live an extraordinary life.

"The White Hot Center Manifesto" by Thomson Dawson. It's a must-read, practical guidebook brilliantly written to inspire and prepare startups and early-stage business entrepreneurs with the right mindset, foundational knowledge, and skillset to create transformative businesses and achieve quantum leaps. While entrepreneurs are the primary audience, I would argue that the impact of Thomson’s book is much bigger. It is chalk full of thought-provoking wisdom and real-world examples relevant to anyone in any competitive domain looking to “make a dent in the world.” Whether you are in the process of self-discovery, thinking about starting a business, looking to take your business to new heights, or at crossroads in your life and seeking to reinvent yourself, start by reading The White Hot Center Manifesto. This can be a life-changing experience!

“Thomson Dawson has more than earned his status of wise elder.
His accumulated insights and wisdom shine through the pages of his Manifesto. They will inspire creative thinking and thoughtful reflection in those who are astute enough to embrace his ideas.”

“The narrative that Thomson shares in his manifesto brings entrepreneurs on board to what it takes to build a successful business and without being hard core driven capitalist. Striking a balance- mental and emotional. Entrepreneurs don't want a wonky, Harvard business class, they want to engage with practical reasoning. One thing that I was happy to see here is a chapter on intuition which many times is dismissed by academics but truly appreciated by early-stage founders.”

“Thomson Dawson’s extensive experience as an entrepreneur and consultant is apparent with this robust manifesto, zeroing in on the psychological roadblocks every new entrepreneur goes through.
His unquestionable expertise not only helps guide new entrepreneurs in directing their attention and energy, but also is reassuring especially for those who do not come from a milieu of entrepreneurs, those who undoubtedly will need to experience an even greater degree of mindset shifts to be successful.”

“Thomson Dawson understands leadership’s relationship to story and story’s relationship to strategy. His suggestion that we all have an articulated Manifesto declaring what matters is powerful. Whether simply reframing a perceived “problem” or guiding one through a next-level transformational process, Thomson’s White Hot Center Manifesto offers entrepreneurs endless value.”

“Thomson Dawson’s Manifesto resonates strongly with me. I joined an entrepreneurship club after three failed attempts at employment. The common denominator in those jobs was me and my resistance to conventional wisdom and the desire to do "what we always do." Thomson’s advice to trust your intuition, your gut, and move forward will tell you where the opportunity is.”

“This Manifesto is essential reading for rising entrepreneurs and innovators who understand business success also means advancing collective well-being. Thomson Dawson channels his veteran entrepreneurial insight into an inspiring strategic playbook—unpacking timeless concepts like mindfulness, servant leadership, creative thinking, value creation, business development to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit.”

“Within the first few pages of reading The White Hot Center Manifesto, I could feel the wisdom coming through. I was so inspired. There are many “how to” books out there, but for me, this book is such an important shift in how we look at business, incorporating deep spiritual truths into the business world is such a gift and so important in our changing world. I highly recommend reading this fantastic book, chock full of sage advice and helping us to bring a more holistic approach that can help us navigate the complex world of being an entrepreneur.”
