BOP

In some business site I read about BOP: Basic Operating Procedure or something like that.  The idea is that you figure out what you want your business to be about.  This isn't a mission statement or a vision statement.  The way I interpreted it is it's a statement that identifies what YOU want to get out of your business.  For example, Apple's BOP is "we make really cool interesting stuff that make us a lot of money."  Now that's a BOP that would wake me up in the morning and send me happily to work.  I wondered what my BOP is, not just in my business, but in my life.  It's worth pondering.
