The Foundation Has to be Strong

Meet Martin, my business lawyer. We’ve been a team since 2007.

We meet regularly, he shakes his head at my stories of prospecting-for-money-through-blogging, reminds me good partnering practices, and is awesomely old-school.

I take the legal side to what I’m doing here seriously. All my music is royalty-free, I’m sensitive to if people are okay with being put online (see Exploring a Hell Hole for example), and do you ever see photos of children around here?  It’s a foundation, why build it any other way than super strong.

 

Happy Birthday OOK Incorporated

My company, OOK Incorporated, is 3 today!

I bootstrap the crap out of it; it’s the only way I think. Throwing money at something seldom makes it better, necessity is the mother and all that. That’s why I’m always wary when someone hands me a business card but has no elevator pitch … that’s $30 you could have left in the bank, earning interest, la la la.

OOK’s first financial transaction was writing a cheque to charity, because one of my favourite sayings is, “start as you mean to go on”. The sun came out strong the exact second I typed that.

The goal is a third / third / third…. that’s taxes / me / charity… to divide up earnings.

Anyway, I’m rambling becasue I’m like a proud parent here, and I’ll leave you with this…

OOK —–> oh oh kay, all capitals, it’s an acronym for … wait for it …

Order Of Keri.

I know.
