Startup Roshi

We all hold beliefs in our lives and businesses. These beliefs can get us started but they can quickly derail us if we don't adapt to what we learn. What beliefs do you hold on to that may be preventing you from learning and changing. In this episode I'll discuss the famous tea cup koan and how it might apply to business and products.

Startup Roshi's 1st episode! Starting something can be intimidating and daunting but even the longest trek begins with a first step. Whether you are building an empire or deconstructing your ego, you have to start with a step. Maybe it is speaking to ten people, or a ten minute meditation, nothing gets started until you take action. Join my mailing list at www.startuproshi.com

Startup Roshi is about the convergence of Zen and startups and how to stay grounded, even as you shoot for the stars. Every day we'll look at different zen quotes and sayings and explore how they apply to you and your business. I have been an entrepreneur for 20 years and a zen student for 15. My story is a story of success and failure, joy and pain and pride and shame. It's the story of a startup founder who who needed to also find himself. I think my story is probably a lot like your story and I hope you'll join me on this journey.
