target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Kung Fu: Modern Strategy, Ancient Truth, Your Success<\/a>&#8221; is a fascinating read.<\/p>\n<p>Craig Cooke takes his experience in martial arts and makes a clear connection between Kung Fu and Business.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest connection is that like learning Kung Fu when you start a business you are going to be doing things that you don&#8217;t want to do.\u00a0 And you will spend hours doing it.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest eye opening parts of <a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Kung Fu<\/a> is how Craig takes the classic Chinese 5 Element Theory and relates it to the 5 fundamental elements of business and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p>Those being, Passion, Discipline, Expertise, Confidence and Faith and then back to Passion again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">What is so interesting about these 5 elements and how they lead to one another they can either spiral you up or they can spiral you down when you don&#8217;t have these elements.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>The book is a very fast read, but the mindset lessons are powerful and are needed in today&#8217;s fast paced business world.<\/p>\n<p>Also, look out for Preparing to Fight.\u00a0 Like in Kung Fu, you have to train to be in a fight, and the truth is you have to prepare to be in a fight in business as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div
