Buddhism is the universal solution to business problems.
Don't believe it? Here's a simplified algorithm:
Everything is duḥkha, i.e. frustration, anxiety, dissatisfaction.
The cause is tṛ́ṣṇā, i.e. attachment, passionate desire, craving.
There is a way out—nirvāṇa, i.e. liberation from worry.
One needs to understand and accept anitya and anātman, which means the impermanence of all phenomena in the world and the non-permanence of the self.
Requests for help don't come out of nowhere. Either the business is in danger, or it isn't growing well enough.
The root of the problems is almost always clinging to false beliefs. Even if they were once useful, today they hinder the founder’s business like a stick in the wheel.
Intuition tells the founder that a harmonious solution exists somewhere. Moreover, the transformation process will reveal the true potential of both the business and the founder.
To stop clinging to outdated forms, you need to focus on reality as it is—dynamic, changing, decaying, and regenerating before our eyes.
This is possible if you break the vicious belief: "I am X."
Hint: you are not X, Y, or Z. You are the Process.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
