Tao is a Chinese word which, loosely translated, means "way." The letter "t" is an approximation of a Chinese sound that does not have an exact English equivalent. The most accurate rendition would be a combinatio "t" & "d" sound, as in "Tdhow." Many pronounce it "Dow", as in "Dow Jones" (ie., to rhyme with "how" or "now"). I give you, therefore, The Way of Shawshank One of my all-time favorite movies is The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

Opportunity costs of being scattered in business

A scattered mind produces scattered results in business. Scattered means: “occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space” and “lacking orderly continuity” (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scattered). If it is taking you longer than anticipated, expected or desired to build your business, then tweaking your focus may be the “next best” step for you at this time. When I saw Donald Trump “live” in person last year, I learned that “lack of focus” was the cause of his financial downfall and near catastrophic ending in the early nineties.

By all accounts, I was a successful, profitable entrepreneur — so why, then, did I end up with a six-figure tax liability?
