The Tao of Business Success  

Yin and Yang are symbols of the Tao.  They are the dynamic force of the Tao, constantly interacting with one another.

Success Formula

According to Taoism the formula for success is:

S=P+O

Success is the sum of preparation and opportunity.

The Two Polar Energies

In Chinese philosophy, the Tao is the "way" – a path to harmony.

Yin and Yang are the two polar energies that, by their fluctuation and interaction, are the cause of the universe. The notion means that the reality consists of relationships between opposite and opposite principles. Yin and yang are polar manifestations of the Tao of the supreme ultimate. The One is divided through the creative powers of the Tao into two opposite energetics and dualities, which then give birth to "the ten thousand things".

Being In Accord With Reality

The Tao helps you achieve much more with much less effort. This effortless skill comes from being in accord with reality. You can't tell the singer from the song. You can't tell the dancer from the dance. When you are in harmony with the Tao, when you go with its current  of energy, your innate intelligence takes over, and the right action happens by itself.  If you think about it, you lose it. This is the purest and most effective form of action that Tao Te Ching calls "not-doing" or "non-action".

The Tao teaches you the art of living and doing business. It gives you advice that imparts perspective and balance. It applies equally well to the management of large corporations or the running of a small business, to the governing of a nation or the leading a small team, to your personal development or to the coaching of others.
