Statement of Values from the Serial Entrepreneur

Dedication to Excellence: I am committed to providing information that will assist individuals in getting the most out of life. In addition, I am committed to take the time to search out material that will be helpful to today’s entrepreneur.

Commitment to Individuals: I will strive to provide thoughts, ideas and information that support the healthy and helpful information and to share with all that will listen life’s experiences that I have encountered.

People Helping People: I am dedicated to the principal that if “you help enough people get what they want out of life, you will get all you want out of life!” Napoleon called this the Mastermind Principal… I call it Synergy! People working together in harmony and cooperation will accomplish vast amounts more than the same number of people working separately. I acknowledge that the growth of each human being contributes directly to the harmony and abundance of others, and hence… the entire earth.

The Uniqueness of Each Individual: Each of us is unique and special, with our own set of beliefs, talents, strengths, abilities, values, etc. Each of us is a product of our lifetime experiences. We base our decisions and actions upon these experiences. Each person has a unique contribution in life… each of us has innate worth and value. An attitude of total unconditional acceptance of others will cause each of us to allow differences and eliminate prejudice and judgmental thinking. By allowing another their own opinions and actions, one actually enhances his or her own self-esteem.

The Intrinsic Right to Freedom: It is my belief that each individual has the God-given right and responsibility to live freely… Each… as mature, adult business people… must be given the right to operate independently and be allowed the freedom to succeed or fail based upon individual efforts and abilities. We are each responsible for our own well being and growth… personally and financially.

Cause and Effect: We each have the responsibility to deal with openness, honesty and kindness in business and in life… to cause the best results possible. Once a difficulty or problem exists, the most effective manner to correct it is to go back to the root cause of the problem and treat that… not just superficially treating the effect! Following the ancient principal of “whatsoever you sow, so shall you reap!”, we acknowledge that each of us will reap exactly what we give out. Each of us will reap a life harvest… the size will depend upon our generosity at planting time, the quality will depend upon our diligence to tend the crop, the kind will depend upon the kind of seed we’ve sown. Eventually all of our thoughts, words, actions and attitudes will come back to us. The principal exists that those dealing honestly, fairly and with integrity will find success, friendship and… ultimately… happiness and peace!

  1. Edward, great article. I like your philosophy. If we focus on helping others as entrepreneurs we'll not only succeed, by bringing to others, but we'll make this world a better place.
