True Productivity for Self-Employed Professionals

1/14/2021

 

​What are the most productive actions in your business?


​Checking off more items on your to-do list? Working longer hours? Getting another certification? Trying to make your website better?

Many such actions feel productive but don’t actually build your business. Besides having a "to do" list, you may want to define a TO-DROP list as well.

The Tao of Authentic Business

12/4/2020

 

​I’m about to launch a podcast. My audience suggested the playful name of “Business Tao with George Kao”.


Some were concerned that the podcast name might be cultural/religious appropriation. (Nevermind that I’m Chinese, and can pronounce Tao te Ching more accurately than most Western Taoist scholars, and that Taoism is characteristically unattached from definitions and who gets credit for what…)
