Ways I dislike -- and ways I like -- for you to ask me questions 😅
Thank you for engaging with my courses! I truly am grateful to be able to support you, my students and clients, in growing your authentic business. It’s what I love doing the most. 🤗 At the same time, since I'm (mostly) a solopreneur, I also need to keep healthy boundaries with those I'm supporting... so I hope you will keep these in mind... Ways I dislike getting questions: Social media private messaging -- whether it's FB messaging, IG dm's, Twitter, LinkedIn etc... I really dislike getting questions through those channels because it's hard to organize messages in those places. Kindly refrain from asking me questions via social media direct messages. Email -- I don't mind getting questions via email if it's enrollment-related: something you need to clarify before signing up for my courses or programs. If it's questions related to the content of my courses, e.g. concepts, exercises, feedback requests etc, please use one of the following methods... Ways I love to receive your questions: Q&A calls -- this is my favorite way to engage with you and take your questions! There, you can ask me anything 🤗 Even if you’re not clear about your question, coming to the call will likely give you inspiration and ideas! You can then ask me about specific concepts, or how to apply them to your business. We can troubleshoot what's not working, or address specific challenges you're having. You can also seek my feedback about anything including your strategy, website, content, offers, or anything else. Click here: George Kao Q&A Calls. Comments under Lessons -- if you can't come to my Q&A calls or would love to get an answer sooner, find the course (George Kao Courses) related to the topic of your question. Go there, find the related lesson, and then comment underneath. This keeps the Q&A focused on a specific topic. I'll do my best to respond to your question within a few days. Members of ABC/MasterHeart -- I'd love for you to post your questions in our private forum, so that you can receive responses from other members. Your questions will also help me prepare for the next ABC Q&A calls. Even if you can't post your questions, you can still come to the Q&A calls and ask directly. Thank you for understanding! 🙏🏼 As business owners / service providers we each need to find a way to keep healthy boundaries in our work! I hope this page/video gives you some ideas for how to maintain a good relationship with your own audience as well. 😊 New as of 2025 -- before you ask me anything, consider asking my Ai chatbot! Whatever course you have access to, my Ai is also trained on that course material, and can coach you step bys tep about the course material. Click here to see how that works

Hi George & Malini, I'm still trying to figure out my meta accounts - I'm not sure why my IG and FB business accounts still won't connect on my meta business page. Do either of you still have office hours available?
@Colin Meadors Yes come to my Q&A call: www.georgekao.com/qa and I'll try to help! Also contact Malini to see what she offers these days -- https://www.mantramdigital.com/contact/
@George Kao ah shoot I'm working during both of the next two calls. I'll check back in after next week to see if there are other times. Also I scheduled a call with Malini but no one showed up - not sure if she is still active with her business.
@Colin Meadors ah, sorry to hear! I'll email her to see what happened. I've also extended your Q&A access for another 2 months, so perhaps you can attend one of my calls in Oct or Nov.
Another guy to contact is Jeffrey Scott -- jeffreyest@live.com -- currently charges only $50 USD per hour, I believe, for coaching and support. Tech-savvy (including with Meta Ads I believe), great communicator, responsive.
@George Kao Thank you George! I really appreciate it. I'll jump on the q&a call ASAP and if we're still stuck I'll reach out to Jeffrey.
@Colin Meadors I've heard back from Malini and sounds like her scheduling software may have been malfunctioning! She said she will email you to coordinate 🙏🏼

Warm welcome to the Frameworks course 🤗
Warm welcome! Overall, I view my courses as a learning community that I'm facilitating -- we learn from each other, I learn from you, as well as you learn from whatever I share that is relevant to you. I invite your questions and your replies to each other's questions. Be helpful, be kind, be engaged in the chat only as much as you'd enjoy. Let's dive right in -- "What is a signature framework" is the title of this module... Here's the unconventional way we'll get to that understanding: Instead of me telling you the definition (for you to memorize or something!) I'd like to invite you to create the definition for yourself, from what I'm going to share with you, which are examples and metaphors in the coming lessons. Truth is most powerful when it's personally created and articulated. In other words, you're going to create a framework for what is a signature framework ;) Shall we give it a try? At this point, before we get into seeing examples, what do you think a "signature framework" is?
When I think framework, I think of structure and organized containers. My guess is that a signature framework is the way you present and communicate information in a way that is unique to how you see and do things. It’s important because we are all different as humans but also have a lot in common. Sometimes, the particular way you see something can be really helpful to someone if they resonate with your story, approach, etc., and it helps them find their own voice. They’re not the same person as you, so they will likely appreciate multiple perspectives including yours and many other people’s as they find their own unique way of doing things. This is why it’s great that in any particular field, there are multiple people talking about the same “stuff” but from their own perspectives that have been influenced by everything that they are, including their identities and experiences.
I feel like I’m taking a shot in the dark at this point, but I’m looking forward to seeing how my definition evolves as I watch this course.

I feel a little vulnerable posting this like I’m taking a shot in the dark, but I’m just going to do it because I’m working on having more courage and emotional resilience. Looking forward to seeing how my definition evolves as I watch this course.
@Toyomi Yoshida I applaud your willingness to experiment! Looking forward to how your framework evovles.
@George Kao Thank you for your kind words!
I love this video! And I love this way of channeling questions for highest benefit and lowest drag. Thanks for the clarity and the great processes.
@Christine Stump thanks for your kind comment 🤗
