Business Buddhism

Does the second CEO call Oprah? Hell yes! But calling Oprah is not a strategy. The strategy is to create a sexy enough proposition that Oprah might bite.

When we obsess about what we cannot control (Oprah’s response) our experience of the world swings between manic and depressive moments and meanwhile, we waste our time unproductively.

When we focus on what we control, our experience of the world is rooted in our effort and we are constructive and productive.

It’s easy to see what incidentally has the higher chance of success with Oprah.
