Pavlina Purpose and Values

[RT Wolf]

Those are great values of individuals to hold as well. Good blog and I wish you luck in all your endevours.

[John Wesley]

Does this mean that you plan on hiring other writers for StevePavlina.com?

I am excited to see this! I believe Steve will be a frontrunner in the major shift in how corporations do business -- people will want to emulate his success, and will need to incorporate meaningful values, not just have the words on a paper somewhere.

Go, Steve! Keep us posted on how we can help.

I'm curious to see what kind of employees your company will attract. Will they be of the highest level of formal education holding MBAs, BAs, MSs, PhDs, or will they be non-college going self-made personal development gurus.

I'm also interested in seeing how many remote jobs you will offer, other than webmaster duties as you previously mentioned.

This seems like it's going to be a really HARD and FUN career for the lucky people you will be choosing in the beginning. Best of luck to you!

If you need a proofreader, I will volunteer , I mean for free if I can manage it. I'm a translator (going on 10 long years), translating into English mostly from Finnish (and I mostly hate the translating-from-Finnish part). Proofreading my own writing, and occasionally proofreading "Finnglish," is a regular part of my job...not that people have very high standards for language use anymore, meaning most of my efforts go unappreciated, especially here .

Pavlina’s purpose is to help you courageously explore, creatively express, and consciously embrace your extraordinary human journey, in service to the highest good of all.

Can you consciously embrace your extraordinary human journey without servicing the highest good of all?

Of course you can. The basis of conscious living is that you're the #1 choicemaker in your life. Lucidity doesn't automatically bestow morality.

Hi Steve,
Love the synchronicity here. I'm currently working on writing a workshop and was thinking about examples of 'toward' and 'away from' motivation behind intentions. 'Away from' motivation behind our intentions can act as subtle sabateurs.
Eg;
'not a hive of unconscious worker drones'
'not numbers or dollar signs'
'but it’s not OK to hide from our humanity'
Maybe you could substitute them for 'toward.' Is funny how they creep in and we don't even see them. The rest is great though, maybe a bit wordy. My intentions tend to get that way because I don't want to miss anything out.OOoppss there's that 'away from' again.

I tell you what Steve, the growth of your business is just absolutely breathtaking to watch and an inspiration to all of us at the bottom rung. I would wish you the best of luck but I know you won't need it

I look forward to watching your purpose-filled business grow and expand over the next few years. If I ever need inspiration, you're my man

[Dave Kaminski]

Aw Steve I love you! What noble goals and values in building a business.

It'll be easy for you to grow this way as you're clearly the man to build and lead an organization along these lines. Keep up the excellent work!

[Keith]

Steve, these Goals and Values are awesome, but the world is full of Corporations with awesome sounding Goals and Values that are irrelevant to the day-to-day running of the business.

How do you plan to see that these Goals and Values are followed, especially as Pavlina LLC grows?

P.S. I also would be interested to know if you plan to hire additional writers for StevePavlina.com.

Hi Steve,

You were writing about your new baby. what kind of company would respect its employees’ humanity and individuality

Have you considered the business model that is used by Ricardo Semler for Semco in Brazil? I love his book Maverick and how he values his employees.

Best wishes in your new venture, I personally will look forward to books that combine and consolidate some of your blog articles into a more cohesive format. Hope you make them available in e-book format too as you seem to have a world-wide membership and shipping overseas to some of us could be prohibitive.
