michal's mission statement [0401.2001]

I will live each day cheerfully and with a sense of adventure. I will keep my mind sharp by tackling tough problems, and my body healthy through exercise and proper nutrition. I will live out of my imagination, not my memory. I will follow my conscience, not my instincts or the expectations of others. Every week, I will set goals that compel me to do and be my best.

I will relate openly, honestly, and enthusiastically with others, and seek to build lasting friendships wherever I go. I will be quick to praise, quick to reprimand, quick to apologize, and quick to forgive. I will listen before I speak. I will help others whenever I can, and accept help offered to me. I will tell the truth, deliver on the things to which I commit, and commit only to those things I can deliver. Above all, I will remember to treat people with respect, and to value each person I meet as a unique and capable individual.

I will seek to build wealth by providing real value in the world. I recognize that wealth is created first in the mind, and keep my mind open to opportunities. I will be a confident salesperson, a dedicated worker, and a leader. As a business owner, I will work to build an organization that respects and nurtures employees, customers, partners, and the world at large.

I will contribute regularly to charity and volunteer my time to worthy causes. I will cherish learning, and share what I learn through writing, coaching, and mentoring. I will do my best to make the world a better place to live.
