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.
