What are you doing to make SageRock better TODAY?
2008 is the summer of “Chill the fuck out!”
Between the choice of money or power, your interest is Power.
Money is simple and hollow.
Power gives you the chance to create a life of Legacy that is filled with integrity.
Power is maximizing the situation you currently control… not wanting something you don’t have.
“Even if I only ever have a 20 person company… turn the focus inward. Refine it! Make it great.”
You can have your legacy with a company at any size.
And your legacy projects into your society. Your issue is race relations between whites and blacks.
Take the profits from SageRock and redirect it back into your community.
On Happiness
I believe in happiness.
I believe happiness is and should be the pursuit of life.
Happiness appears to be the only thing in life that seems to have an inherant meaning.
This is my belief.
I have faith that if I follow happiness, true happiness, I will not regret my life… if I dedicate my life to happiness.
These are the things that make me happy.

But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he’s exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.”

At work, all you should focus on is:
On Personal Energy
On What Others Think Of You
The freezing terror you feel when you think someone is unhappy with you helps no one.
Let the emotions go
Ask yourself:
What’s the worst that can happen?
What’s the reality?
Write down the situation and the answers to those questions.
I GUARANTEE! You most likely won’t even be able to recall this moment next week. Even the worst scenario will not make you feel much of anything a month from now.
The Worst Scenario of All
You are sued for tons more money than you have. You are a mockery to the entire web marketing industry. Everyone in the industry hates you and so do most people at SageRock.
The Outcome
You try to overcome the situation. You analyze it and determine if the patient can be saved. If it can… you try your best to save it. You’ll probably love the whole process, anyway. If you deem there is no hope… all is hopeless… you will just start over. Don’t forget, if all money was taken in the world and given out evenly to the entire world, within 3 years most of the money would just be back to the people who had it in the first place. You are the quintessential entrepreneur. You are a survivor and a fighter. And best of all…
YOU LOVE THE FIGHT!
So lighten up chap… sit down, have a cup of tea, take your mind off the situation for a minute. Then smile because you know this is what you live for. You love being the underdog. You love the challenge. Chill baby. You are going to be better than ever. Besides, you know the journey is what’s important… what brings happiness and fun. The end is nothing. It’s always a let down. Creating, building. Making something out of nothing. That’s the essence of achievement. You were born for that kind of challenge.
So, lighten up. The fun is about to begin.
That was the absolute worst case SageRock scenario. Is what you are facing right now anywhere near that extreme?
I didn’t think so.
Get your perspective man.
Calm your thinking down.
When you can think rationally… AND ONLY THEN!
What are you going to do now?
And don’t forget.
Smile!
You know you love the challenge.
