Are you constantly running around, exhausted by the day-to-day demands of your Buddhist Columbarium enterprise?
Handling every client inquiry yourself, supervising site maintenance personally, even worrying about the placement of ritual offerings? Wake up! Operating as this kind of owner, even if you work yourself to the bone, your Buddhist Columbarium venture will struggle to grow and strengthen!

Let me be clear: many operators in this field are caught in a "diligence trap!" They believe that micromanaging every detail is the only responsible approach.

Wrong! Absolutely wrong! Your time is the most precious and unique resource in this entire enterprise! Where you invest your time ultimately determines the height your business can reach!

Think about it: hiring a cleaner might cost a few dozen dollars an hour. Hiring a professional sales consultant to handle clients might cost a few hundred in commission. But you, as the owner – what is your time worth? Thousands per hour? Tens of thousands? Or even more? So why would you waste your invaluable time on tasks that can be handled by someone else for just a few dozen or a few hundred dollars?

A Buddhist Columbarium is not merely a business; it carries the grief people feel for departed loved ones, embodies the hopes of family legacy, and is deeply connected to the Buddhist principles of accumulating merit for the deceased and praying for their favorable rebirth. This is an undertaking that requires grand vision and profound wisdom. So, where should your time be spent?

1. Finding Projects! Identifying promising locations with potential, favorable policies, superior geography, and even existing cultural and religious ambiance to develop new Buddhist Columbarium facilities. This is the starting point for strategic planning.

2. Designing the Model! How can you make your Buddhist Columbarium more than just a resting place? How can you integrate Buddhist culture to offer value-added services—such as dedicated prayers, sutra chanting ceremonies, and other offerings—that truly bring peace to families and benefit the departed? How do you create attractive, competitive product combinations and a robust business model? This requires your deep thought and innovation.

3. Equity Financing! A great project and model shouldn't lead you to drain your personal savings for implementation—that's a major pitfall! No matter how well-designed, realizing a business model requires significant investment. The correct approach is to develop a compelling business plan and use it to secure equity financing! Raise 10 million? Use 1 million to start. Raise 100 million? Use 10 million for development. Use other people's capital to realize your vision and amplify your enterprise! Remember, the business model is for financing, not for you to toil alone!

4. Recruiting Partners! No matter how capable you are alone, how many clients can you truly serve? You need to find more "partners"—excellent sales teams, agents, and channel partners. They act as your thousand hands and eyes, helping you promote your high-quality Columbarium products and services to a wider market. They are on the front lines, selling and serving clients, handling the "groundwork," while you focus on steering the ship.

So, what is the core work cycle for an owner? It is: Find Projects -> Design the Model -> Secure Equity Financing -> Recruit Agents/Partners -> Find New Projects -> Design New Models -> Secure More Financing -> Recruit More Partners... This cycle repeats continuously, making the chain larger and larger!

Other specific tasks—like office leasing and renovation, computer procurement, daily employee management, on-site maintenance, etc.—should not be your primary focus! These can and should be delegated to your partners or professional managers. You must liberate your time and energy from these trivial, low-value tasks!

An ancient saying goes, "The wise man moves his mouth, not his hands." This applies perfectly to the Buddhist Columbarium industry! Where should your "mouth" move? Use it to share your grand vision with investors, to paint a picture of mutual success with partners, to align thinking and boost morale within your core team, and to build trust with key clients! Your "hands" should be used to sign important contracts, not for manual labor!

Many people attend my lectures and feel overwhelmed, their heads spinning with information. But you're missing the point! I am helping you do "subtraction!" I'm helping you see clearly what you, as the owner, truly should be doing—the most valuable tasks in the Columbarium field. Cut out all the unimportant tasks that can be handled by others! Discard them!

Remember: limited time means you cannot do everything, so you must focus only on the most valuable tasks! Running a Buddhist Columbarium business isn't about how busy you are, but about how precisely and valuably you spend your time!

Do you want your Buddhist Columbarium enterprise to truly become a respectable venture that transmits filial piety, accumulates merit, and achieves sustainable growth? Then start now by examining how you allocate your time! Focus on those four core tasks: Finding Projects, Finalizing the Model, Securing Financing, and Recruiting Agents!

Be bold in delegating the low-value work to others! Your vision ultimately determines the outcome of your enterprise!
