When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,
"I used everything You gave me." (Erma Bombeck)
My 2010 Manifesto

My manifesto is here to share with others and to keep a guide for myself. Many of these things will be detailed in blog articles to come. I am doing this in order to discipline myself to live my life on purpose in the year of 2010. It is a test.

From Wikipedia:

A manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions. Writing a manifesto gives me a clear vision of what I want to accomplish and do for myself and others. It acts as a guide to what I do in life.  

Here is my manifesto:

As a photographer I intend to:
  • Photograph each of the 500 species of birds in the State of Florida within the next three years. I have a great start already.
  • Photograph each of the 800 species of birds in all of North America.  This entails extended travel and getting myself in tip top shape.
  • Photograph as many of the 500 species of birds in the State of Florida within the next year (2010). This is just to see how many a person can do in one year and it also helps to document the evidence of bird life here in Florida.
As an Author/Writer I intend to:
  • Continue to write for my other websites (will post these soon), Women’s magazines and combine my work with that of other authors.
  • Work and complete several e-books in the works.
As a Web Developer and owner of Garlic D’zign and Co-owner of KeZoor:
  • Create minimal themes to offer for sale to those who search for a simple way to blog and maintain a web site.
  • Continue to help and develop those websites belonging to the ‘tribe’.
  • Expand the knowledge of the ‘tribe’ and help them to be as self-sufficient as possible.
  • Further develop KeZoor this year and offer tutorials. Expand KeZoor's usage to the masses.
As a Web Adviser:

  •  Help each of the ‘tribe’ in their pursuit of success with their creative ventures.
  •  Show them how to use their website to it’s fullest potential
  • Keep up with the latest use of the web/internet and technology to best advise them how to proceed.
I want to live my life:
  • In peace and simplicity
  • In control of time, location, relationships, activities
  • Surrounded with unique and awesome people
  • Purposed by bringing value to others
  • Truthful, open and honest with myself and others
Entrepreneurship:
  • Work only for myself (with the awesome help of a couple of key people)
  • Create a profitable business around my passions or visa versa.
  • Establish passive income.
  • Be open to new ideas and experimentation's.
 I am in Pursuit of:
  • Simplicity
  • To follow the 10-50-30-20 rule. (Explanation of this rule coming)
  • To minimize possessions to the essentials in both my work and personal life
