Don't Just Kick Butt...Kick Positive Butt


In this post, I explain my two core business principles: Kicking Butt and more importantly Kicking Positive Butt.  Briefly, the point is to do good work for the communities you care about but in order to do that, you have to get out there first.  I hope that me sharing my principles with you will help you better understand what your principles might be. 

My overall philosophy is pretty simple: Kick Positive Booty.  But this has a sub-part to it and is really TWO steps: Kick Positive Booty (principle 1) requies that you first Kick Booty (principle 2).  Together these principles focus and balance me toward getting things done.
  1. Kick Booty - First you have to get out there and connect with people.  This means getting off your butt and taking charge of your life.  You have to be hungry, aggressive, and focused and ready to change things and take them as they come.
  2. Kick Positive Booty - For me, I don't want to just "kick butt", I want to kick good butt.  A specific type of butt.  I want to do good for mankind and society first, and myself second.  I care fundamentally about myself and my situation but if I don't put others in front of myself and their needs in front of mine I will not be successful.  This is like having good customer service and not being too self-serving.
In summary, you learned that I'm not just about kicking butt but I want to kick positive butt and make a change to things that matter.  I hope that knowing this will help you think about what POSITIVE butts you are going to kick!
