Cold Calling Part Deux #487
Pat’s taking a mulligan. After listening to last week’s episode I believe I missed the mark on cold calling. Yes, calling looks like a pushy activity and unTaoist, (if that’s a word.) How can that be? In this episode, I riff on the topic and explain how you can embrace wu-wei to simplify your cold-calling activities. Multiple quotes from the Tao Te Ching are shared. Check them out below!
Quotes From Lao Tzu Mentioned Today
Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men
Doesn’t try to force issue
Or defeat enemies with force of arms
For every force there is a counterforce
Violence, though well intentioned,
Always rebounds on itself.
The Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect. When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever.
The Tao never acts but nothing is left undone.
The Tao is constant in non-action, Yet there is nothing it does not do.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
The best leaders are those the people hardly know exist.
Today’s Chapter: Cold Calling
Friend or stranger, all are just people,
two sides of the same coin.
Yet curiously, greeting a stranger,
qualifying their needs,
asking for an opportunity
is the sellers greatest fear.
Fear is an illusion.
Act without expectation.
Succeed without taking credit.
Accomplish with spontaneity.
What will be, will be.
