Zen Business

Zen teaches that emptiness is the essence of things. We took that seriously.

Key Principles

Mu (無) - Emptiness

Our portfolio is empty. Our calendars are empty. Our minds are empty.

Wu Wei (無為) - Non-action

The Taoist concept of “non-action.” Our core competency.

Satori - Enlightenment

The moment you realize work is an illusion.

Meditation at Work

Sit down.
Close your eyes.
Breathe.
Do nothing.
Invoice.

Mindfulness Meeting

Our typical meeting:

• 5 minutes of silence
• 5 minutes of breathing
• 5 minutes of nothing
• End

Productivity: Maximum peace.

Business Koans

• “What is the sound of one unsent invoice?”
• “If a deadline falls and no one hears it, does it exist?”
• “What is your true throughput?”

Conclusion

Zen isn’t about doing. It’s about being. And we are. We just are.
