My Two Goals

The journey of business never ceases to entertain me. Where I mentally am now in business is very different than where I was even a month ago.

Without getting into the specifics as to how I’ve gotten to this point, I have two goals now at SageRock. The company is now five years old… every role has a person, we have our operations manual in place, there is a feeling of the SageRock Experience. Like any five year old, it’s time for it to start to venture out on its own. A major problem with many companies is that a charismatic, visionary leader drives the company. When that leader leaves or focuses on things other than leadership, no one has been trained to be that charismatic visionary person. The company falters. SageRock has everything it needs to grow. The goal is to make everyone at SageRock a charismatic visionary. Everyone becomes the leader. I’m going to guide everyone on that path. And I’m going to do it by slowly removing myself as the leader. That’s goal number 1.

Goal number 2. I’m really obsessed with money. I think it’s because our company has grown up poor. There’s no need to be poor anymore. I want the money. And I’m coming for it. I want so much money it’s obscene. I want so much money we buy ridiculous things. I want more money than my fair share. And the reason I want so much money? I want it because I’ve never wanted it before. I want it like I want to be friends with the cool kids at high school. It’s a superficial goal and probably won’t be the great relationship I imagine it to be. But I want it anyway to try it out. I’ll make the decision once I get there. And what makes me so different than anyone else? The difference is, I know exactly what it takes to get and I’m willing to do what it takes. I won’t give up our integrity. But that’s it. The time has come to get rich. We are going to be more rich than we ever thought we would.

I am going to make us rich.

I have quit drinking alcohol, and coffee. I have quit smoking cigarettes. July 9 will be two years of conquering those. I have lost 50 pounds. I’ve kept that off for the last 6 months. This is my new frontier. Money. I’m going to get money. Money is my new obsession. This is why it’s great to be an obsessive compulsive. I get what I want.

There you have it. It’s good to have goals and these are my goals.
