This is a fantastic video about the evolution of a brand and one of the most iconic cars ever built. Love this!

I have been toying around with a book that I think is fun and squarely takes aim at the old industrial revolution beliefs of go to school, get a job, save for retirement and all will be well.
Thou Shall Not Work…For Someone Else, The 10 Commandments of Entrepreneurship. I am going to start blogging my thoughts and notes for the book. Please feel free to comment, share your point of view and let me know how you make out “Living the commandmentsâ€Â ; )
The first draft of the 10 Commandments of Entrepreneurship
1) Thou shall create value
2) Thou shall be sustainable in all endeavours
3) Thou shall build to scale
4) Thou shall become addicted to education
5) Thou shall release your limiting beliefs
6) Thou shall give, you will become a new breed of Philanthropreneur
7) Thou shall not create false economies
8) Thou shall create more than you consume
9) Thou shall focus exclusively on that which only YOU can do
10) What do you think it should be???
I have about 5 others that are on my list but I would love to hear what the rest of you think. What do you think should be one of the Commandments of Entrepreneurship?
Wyatt’s 4 year old pictures, I cannot get over how fast he is growing.
The other day he comes into my office hand on his hip and says “Daddy, do I have to have a nap today?†I say yes, Wyatt, “Well I think it should be my personal choice, and I choose no nap!â€
I am SO happy we started teaching him about choice so young! ; )
Last weekend in the Entrepreneurs Bootcamp I was making a point about using Facebook and a few of the attendees literally rolled their eyes.
Another participant says “I know what you mean, but you must think of it as a business toolâ€
I must say my internal response was nothing short of “Duh!â€Â Upon reflection however I can see how my grounding and view of Facebook and others view can be quite different!
-
I choose to get on Facebook for the purpose of communicating with my tribe, developing and reinforcing business relationships.
-
I clearly choose to ignore the games, the mafia, the farms and the other time wasters (yes I own my judgment).
-
My life and business are very clearly highly integrated, I know that is not the case for most people who have a job.
The point of this post is simply this, if you have a business you really should be on Facebook (and other social media for that matter). It is NOT the way of the future it is the way it is NOW!
SIDEBAR: Here is the wild and entertaining reality, this just happened literally as I was writing this blog. I get this email via Facebook.

I just finished the Financial Freedom Weekend in Edmonton, we had a sold out room, and a great group of people, many of whom are on their way to becoming entrepreneurs. Cory and Wyatt came up and spent the weekend so we could still see each other around the course times which I soooo appreciate!
It is a little after 5am I am in the Edmonton airport on my way to Boulder for one of the VITA retreats, a little tuckered but looking forward to the trip. I will stop in to see how the shop(s) are progressing on my old Porsche 356. I have great hopes that we are actually well into the reconstruction process. I have seen some pics but it seems as though it is going VERY slowly and I know that they have been waiting for the hand made nose panel and front fenders from Trevor’s Hammer works, which if I am lucky will actually be there by the time I go to check it out!
What I am thinking about is one of the Pillars of our new 90 day Entrepreneurial Freedom Program, and that is a question that was asked many times in the Financial Freedom Weekend, “How do I stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an entrepreneur?â€
My first reaction to that is stop asking the question of someone else, and ask the question of yourself! That being said one of the great challenges of many entrepreneurs is that they don’t ask for enough support…always trying to do it on their own. So I thought that I would spend some time framing out some of the largest differences in thinking that I perceive.
Employee                                          Entrepreneur
Asks permission                             Asks forgiveness
I can’t afford it                                How can I create it?
What if I fail?                                    What will I learn?
How much will I get paid?          What is the value of this opportunity?
Measures salary/income            Measures Net worth/passive income
I need safety and security          I create safety and security
I need to earn more                      How can I sell more?
There are MANY more distinctions that are worth exploring, but for the time being focusing on the Entrepreneur side of the page will create freedom an cash for YOU!
