My Painted Picture for September 19, 2014

Business Relationships

Partners happy and fruitful

Scott Farrell has his house, and his daughter is well, maybe second marriage, he has his own gym, fitness course he invented of course, a bestselling book for business under his belt, and one in the works on how to do a mean bbq. He has a couple Rx7’s which he modified, and he speaks at large events.

Taylor married, happy two homes one in SF one in Thailand with a condo in Philippines –Taylors’ laid back and peaceful style wins him a lot of business, he is sought after and does quite well in the continuation of the Mobile Web Industry in America. Taylor has written a book titled ‘The 42 Hour Work Day’ which pokes fun at but tells the truth about the amount of energy one must put into a business to see it become great.

Kevin:

People are my greatest value and asset. I continue to foster and nurture healthy relationships on both a personal and professional level. I am known as the guy that will help you move house if you need too. People like my authenticity, it becomes a bit much for the plastic corporate crowd, but that is okay I have accepted my role, embraced my personality as I am drawn to Mavericks and they to me.

I have very few clients that I hand pick, I have evolved from helping every kid with a big idea, to the clients that resonate with me. On the heels of 3 very successful years of exponential growth in which we squared the revenue of the year before (not doubled). I am known for being the matchstick to an innovation movement with a nexus in Philippines that pushed through South East Asia.(following the business process movement, self empowerment is only logical) I am happy in my business relationships.

My close colleagues and business partners are my family- able to be confronted, able to be moved from one seat into another – able to fail, and remain close trusted and loved.

Business

We get shit done. Our no nonsense get in and get dirty D.I.Y. working man, punk rock ethics are something of legend. In a world of noise and hype full of self proclaimed guru’s and experts, we forgo the social media masturbation and focus on business and results. The sound of a cash register, and happy clients and markets is all we hear. We have a digital sign that is updated on successful clients and clients of our clients that we have empower and enabled. Like McDonalds billions served we have something quite similar.

Our ideas are successful our clients become MIT , Harvard, Oxford, AIM case studies, become courseware, become a movement .

By focusing on movements, and shifts rather than discrete services or products we have formed a startup network cult that has seriously changed the world.

We do not gamble but we place everything we have behind big hairy audacious goals. Like the next Moon Shot, we help individuals and companies with big ideas execute and get it done.

Business is business, and creating new business models wherein none previously existed, and inventing what has not yet been imagined are our unspoken mantra.

We see what can be, we shape the future and the course of not the industry but mankind.

There is no one close many have tried to emulate the team’s success, many copies have grown, some even directly ripping off our work, but we don’t mind. We have a list of out right haters, people government groups that do not like us, or what we do, these haters in fact tell us we are doing something right.

We love the unreasonable. We love the unthinkable, then we turn around and help that blow away traditional industries and markets.

We are blue ocean innovators, combining process, technologies creating new concepts that did no longer exist.

Our companies YEAR ends 12 December and we give each employee, 5 to 6 weeks vacation a year.

We have very very few full time employees, we have set up service companies or relationships with them to keep any and all overheads to the absolute minimum.

We sponsor kids, charter schools and really push our belief that any person despite circumstance can and will change the world.

Because we have co created new revenue markets and business models that did not previously exist, our company revenue stream is exponential.

Personally:

I am making about $2500per day or $11,000(USD/AUD/EURO/GBP whatever is highest) per week. This translates to about $45k per month.

I make an additional $25k or so per month from the other assets that I have grown. These assets include property that makes income, small retail but successful business, and ventures that I have co created with Scott, Taylor and my other colleagues.

I have two residences and one condo for work. One on Ticao Island with land has been designed and built by us for us, and is secure and beach side on a beach that we own. The other in Manly is quaint and private and has a phenomenal panoramic view. The condo is for work and within Philippines near one of our offices. I drive DB7 or DB9 Merc AME in Australia I also own the typical family ute ;o)

I enjoy my life, when I work I work, when I spend time with my family I spend time with them. I take Fridays off and make mandatory work at home Weds for non essential staff.

Alma is happy, my relationship is healthy and good, my kids are strong, smart and speak well. Alma manages the home and home businesses with accounting precision. I trust her to make the proper decisions, and she has become a Proverbs 31 woman.

My family remains who they are and that is fine, we have come to terms and acceptance of the other. I continue to love them from afar, and trust that their lives go well, they exist happy and stay out of mine. ;-D

I have cleared all personal debt, both in karma, and in cash. I exist peaceful, content, and at peace with myself. I relish the evolution from where I was into the Man I am.

I am a warrior in heart and spirit.

I awake early because I want too. I run, paddle out for a surf or take a swim. I study the martial arts and Kung Fu. I walk, run everywhere and often ride bikes.

I give no pity expect none, empathy is fine, I hold others accountable for what they say, as they do me. I accept 100% accountability for my life, make the decisions and steps to get there. That being said I understand James that faith without actions is dead, and that the best laid plans still fall under the Grace of God.

When I pray I move my feet, and I understand God gave me a heart to love and dream, a mind to plot the course to get there, and the guts to make it happen. I look at my two hands and I work.

Lord expand my territory, bless the work of my hands, let me cause no harm and give me 10,000 times the anointing you gave David, Solomon and Paul.
