Business and Money Tips

Every time in my training classes, the participants would tell me the following are their 3 biggest issues:  1. Hard to get people to listen and do what you say 2. Getting Compliance 3. Rewards and punishments do not work well as before What you’re seeing in that slide is not a “people problem.” It’s a misalignment problem:  of timing, energy, structure, and human connection. This is exactly where Yijing 6 concepts becomes powerful. Not philosophical, but practical diagnosis + action . 1. Oneness（一体）— Stop Managing in Silos Everything is connected. There is no isolated problem. Why people don’t listen:  Because what you say is not aligned with what they experience elsewhere . A government agency pushes digital transformation.  But:  KPIs still reward risk avoidance and a pproval layers still slow.   Result: People “hear” but don’t act. 👉 Yijing insight: The system is not one. Another example,  HQ says “be innovative”. But middle man...

Many people say in life, “You cannot have your cake and eat it.” Meaning: you must choose. Either A or B. But the deeper wisdom of Yin and Yang tells us something more subtle. Life is rarely about choosing only one side. In reality, both Yin and Yang always exist together. But they are never frozen at exactly 50–50. If Yin and Yang were always perfectly equal, life would become static. Nothing would change. Nothing would evolve. The world would be predictable — and frankly, boring. Instead, the universe works differently. Sometimes Yin rises and Yang retreats. Sometimes Yang expands and Yin withdraws. Winter gives way to spring. Action gives way to rest. Success gives way to humility. Strength gives way to softness. The secret is not perfect balance. The secret is constant movement toward balance. Yin and Yang are always adjusting, correcting, and responding to each other. That is why the Yijing describes reality as a system of changing patterns, not fixed states. In life, this means: ...

According to the wisdom of the I Ching , life constantly moves through a cycle: 吉 → 吝 → 凶 → 悔 → 吉 Success  → Regret  → Failure  → Repentance  → Success Success and failure are not permanent. They transform into each other. What determines our long-term success is how we behave at each stage . This is where Love Intelligence becomes the compass. Stage 1 — 吉 (Success) Risk: Ego and complacency When things go well, people may become  arrogant, careless and disconnected from others Love Intelligence Response:  Stay humble. Stay grateful. Share credit. LQ principle: Success should deepen relationships, not inflate ego. Stage 2 — 吝 (Regret, Warning Signs) Risk: Ignoring small problems At this stage, warning signals appear:  tension in relationships, small mistakes,  declining trust Love Intelligence Response:  Listen. Accept feedback. Adjust early. LQ principle: Love notices disharmony ear...

We are living in a time when machines are becoming smarter every day. AI can now write articles, analyze markets, diagnose diseases, and even generate strategies faster than most humans. So the question is no longer: “Can AI do the work?” The real question is: “What will make humans still valuable?” Many people think the answer is skills . Others think it is knowledge . But after studying and teaching the wisdom of Yijing for many years, I realized something deeper. What ultimately determines success is not just intelligence. It is energy. Two people can have the same skills, the same knowledge, even the same opportunities. But the one with higher energy, clarity, and alignment with change will always move further. In the language of Chinese wisdom, this energy is called 气 — Qi . And the Yijing teaches us how to cultivate it. Let me share a simple story. Years ago I met two business leaders. Both were highly educated. Both had strong technical expertise....

Is intuition subconscious? If so, Yijing advocates the use of Intuition, so isn't Yijing partially subconscious? Yes. Intuition largely comes from the subconscious mind. But it is important to understand what that actually means , because many people misunderstand intuition as something mystical or irrational. In reality, intuition is fast pattern recognition based on deep experience stored in the subconscious . This idea actually fits very well with Yijing thinking . 1. Intuition Is the Subconscious Processing Patterns The human brain constantly absorbs information that the conscious mind cannot fully process. Examples include: facial expressions,  tone of voice,  subtle behavior changes,  timing of events,  emotional atmosphere in a room All these signals are processed below conscious awareness . When your mind suddenly says: “Something is not right.” That is intuition speaking. Your subconscious has recognized a pattern before your conscious mind can expla...

Most people think becoming an AI expert means learning coding, machine learning, or prompt engineering. But the real advantage in the AI era is thinking like a system . Interestingly, Yijing already contains the same thinking model that modern AI systems use : patterns, polarity, transformation, and dynamic change. If you understand these six Yijing concepts, you develop the same mindset used by AI scientists. 1. Oneness (Tai Ji) : The System Thinking Behind AI AI models do not look at isolated events. They analyze large interconnected systems of data . The Yijing begins with the idea of Oneness : Everything is interconnected. In AI: Data is connected Context matters Patterns emerge from relationships A person who understands Oneness naturally thinks in systems , which is exactly how AI models analyze the world. Without system thinking, people see events . With system thinking, people see patterns . AI experts think in patterns. 2. Yin and Yang – Binary Logic ...

The Power of Your Mind — As Explained by Yijing In today’s AI-driven world, we are told that intelligence is everything. But what if your greatest power lies not in what you know, but in how you use your mind? Ancient wisdom from the Yijing (I Ching) — the Book of Changes — shows us that true power does not come from force or intellect alone. It comes from alignment, flow, and conscious choice. And that starts with the mind. Let’s explore this through three practical lenses drawn from the Yijing and reinforced by powerful mental mastery principles. 1. You Are Not Your Mind The mind is a powerful tool, but a poor master. When left unchecked, your mind: Thinks non-stop, often looping the same thoughts. Obsesses over the past or worries about the future, rarely staying in the present moment. Generates 70% negative thoughts on average. Yijing teaches us through its ever-changing hexagrams that nothing is fixed. If your mind is stuck in judgment, comparison, or drama, you are no longer flow...

Let me ask you a dangerous question. In the age of AI, when everyone sounds like an expert, who do you actually trust? Today, with one prompt, anyone can sound intelligent. Anyone can create slides, frameworks, even speeches. AI has not just created more information. It has created a crisis of trust. If you look at human evolution, we started with very little information. Back then, trust was simple. Whoever had information was an expert. We listened because we had no choice. Today, we have gone from no information to over-information. AI gives everyone answers instantly. Everyone looks confident. Everyone looks right. So the question is no longer, who has the best information? The question is, can this person actually do what they say? As speakers and trainers, this hits us directly. Our audience is no longer impressed by knowledge. They are quietly asking one thing. Can I trust you? This is where Yijing gives us a powerful insight. Yijing teaches that in times of great change, virtue...

You’re absolutely right. Dealing with change is the core purpose of knowing Yijing. In fact, 易 (Yi) means change, and 经 (Jing) means a system or constant. Yijing teaches us how to remain grounded while everything else shifts. Here is how Yijing helps us cope with three of the biggest changes of our time: AI technology, economic shifts, and changing human values and preferences, using the 6 foundations of Yijing:  How Yijing Helps Us Navigate Change in the Modern World 1. Oneness: Seeing the Whole, Not Just the Parts Yijing begins with Oneness. AI, the economy, and human values are not separate problems. They are expressions of the same larger movement of civilisation. Most people panic because they look at change in isolation. They see AI as a threat, the economy as unstable, and people as unpredictable. Yijing trains us to see the whole system. When technology changes, work changes.  When work changes, values change.  When values change, business models change. Once you ...
