Mark My Word

By January 1, 2009, the present tense of the following statements will no longer be fictional:

• My business is virtual.
  
• I work anywhere I want, anytime I want, for as long or as little as I want.
  
• I work with people that totally know their shit, ALWAYS deliver when they say they will, but above all, are FUN to work with.
  
• We laugh constantly while "working," come up with totally original/completely inspiring/innovative business projects that make us TONS of money -- 24x7, with minimal continual maintenance/upkeep. We do this while simultaneously bringing happiness into the world and watching out for the environment.
  
• We meet once a week, face-to-face, to discuss whatever needs to be discussed, assign specific action items to owners and bullshit/have some fun. Apart from this meeting, we're all free to execute our action items wherever/however/whenever we want as long as they are ALWAYS COMPLETE by the next meeting and delivered with quality that meets/exceeds group expectations. Those expectations are clearly laid out in each meeting so that there is no confusion in execution. When in doubt we reach out to each other as necessary ,to clarify.
  
• We spark the creativity, ingenuity and genius in each other as well as with everyone we work with. We catch fire from each others sparks and ignite the fire in others with our passion and enthusiasm.
  
• We only work for clients/contractors that we like. We are successful, not because we are competitive, but because we are collaborative. The money is never more important than the enjoyment we derive from our projects and working with cool people.
  
• We celebrate every success and learn from every non-success. There's no such thing as a failed project, just one that didn't go quite as expected.
  
• I wake up in the morning and tune-in to my original center. I dress and plan my daily activities as inspired by this inner voice. I feel light-hearted, clear-headed and excited about facing the possibilities of each day.
  
• I express myself freely/openly/honestly/authentically. If this means I make colorful use of the words "fuck" or "shit" more times than there are minutes in the day, then so be it. The people around me view it as a lovable quirk, rather than a lack of business polish.
  
• People fascinate me. The opportunity to meet new people excites me. The thought of all the synergistic combinations possible when you bring together unfamiliar entities, in unexpected/uncontrolled/go-with-the flow ways, fires me up.
  
• I walk around fully awake and in tune with the moment. As a result, the world around me lights up and is a constant feeding ground for energy, beauty, wonder, new ideas and inspiration.
