How to Show Up In Your Spiritual Business With Purpose, Effectiveness and Joy

Joyful productivity increases your business success and sends out ripples of positive spiritual energy. George explains that joyful productivity doesn’t mean just doing things that are fun and outsourcing the rest. His EADA model for productivity includes eliminating, automating and delegating (like most) but the secret ingredient is appreciation.

Appreciation is the heart of joyful productivity. You can never eliminate all the works that you don’t find instantly fulfilling, but you can show up with gratitude and curiosity.

The seed I want to plant, the radical revolution I want to instill, is awakening to the fact that every task in every moment can be transformed into a sacred and possibly even joyful task…Wouldn’t our lives be like heaven?” – George Kao

At any moment, you can cultivate the habits of appreciation and joyful persistence or the dread of an overwhelming To Do List. Joyful productivity is a practice that has allowed George to attract more interesting people, boost his creativity and enhance the sustainability of his career.

“This is life. Where else am I going to be right now? If I have to be here, I might as well transform this moment.” – George Kao

It takes time to gain word of mouth recognition. For George, this only began to happen after nine years in business. While it can happen sooner, the more enjoyable your business, the more likely you are to stay in the game long enough to find success.

Train your experience of flow by scheduling it rather than waiting for inspiration to strike. George acknowledges his continuing reluctance to do videos and write. He overcomes this by practicing curiosity, setting aside self judgement and showing up to create on a schedule. When you show up day after day, flow shows up for you.

“Flow can actually be generated on demand through practice.” – George Kao
