About this Event

Workshop Description: Technology can help small business owners leverage limited capital in smarter, more effective ways. In some cases, using technology provides greater efficiency and versatility, making it a natural progression for processes you may already have in place in your business. In others, you may need to make some adjustments to reap the benefits of tech-friendly alternatives. The good news is that the benefits often outweigh the short-lived challenges of the transitional process, once new systems are in place.

How I Avoid Burnout: Buddhist Priest Daniel Soten Lynch

 Embrace angst. Find adventure in monotony. And, of course, meditate.

A Zen monastery is an ideal place to ride out a pandemic. “I’m in quarantine with two roshis”—roshi means “old teacher” in Japanese—“and a Tibetan lama, which is pretty cool,” says Buddhist priest Daniel Soten Lynch, who’s lived at Great Vow Zen Monastery in Clatskanie, Ore., since 2010. (Soten is his Zen name.)

Each day, he awakens at 4 a.m. for a two-and-a-half-hour meditation service; he ends the day with two or three more hours of meditation, until about 10 p.m. (Once a month, he completes a weeklong retreat during which he meditates for much of every day.) Otherwise, he spends business hours overseeing the monastery’s operations, managing its sprawling property, and, in pre-pandemic times, helping lead workshops for the public.

The key to avoiding burnout, Lynch says, is to “get in touch with the aspect of ourselves that cannot be burnt out. In a nutshell, that’s what we’re learning to do in meditation.” Here’s how he thrives... Read more on Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

The internet has brought about a paradigm shift in the way that learning takes place. In the past, you’d have to physically enroll yourself in classes after school or over the weekend if you wanted to pick up a new skill or learn a language. If you were looking to change career paths drastically, it was next to impossible unless you stepped away and got a different qualification by putting your life on hold. The internet has changed this completely, as online education has become one of the best tools for you to acquire new skills.

For example, if you have a fascination for coding but don’t know how to translate that into a skill, you can turn to one of the premier online courses offered by a range of platforms. Designed for different levels of expertise, starting with beginners who have no experience in the field, most of these courses can be taken without any time constraints. If you have only 2 to 4 hours in the week to dedicate to learning coding, you can continue at that pace from the comforts of your home. This list of the best online coding courses can be very helpful in choosing one for you!
