Albert Einstein once
said, "You cannot solve your problems at the same level of
thinking you were at when you created them." I help
businesses and individuals to elevate their level of
thinking so that they may correct the problems they have
created for themselves and experience a more fulfilling
existence.
My
philosophy is very simple and can be summed up in four basic
principles which I refer to as The Gaughan Code or
alternatively The Code of The One Man Think Tank.
#1 ~ Create Value
Everything I do is driven
by this motto. I strive to improve things, to help
people and to leave things better than I found them.
#2 ~ Work
only with people I trust and respect and that trust and
respect me
Life is too short to do
otherwise. I am fortunate to be able to be selective about
the individuals and companies with whom I choose to invest
my efforts.
#3 ~ Have fun while pursuing
our common objective
Again, Life is too short.
If you and I are not having fun while pursuing our
objectives together, what is the point? That is not to say
that there won’t be painful days. Growth and change always
involves a certain amount of discomfort, but by and large,
the enjoyment of pursuing the goals must outweigh the pain.
#4 ~ Realize
a return on investment
Ultimately there needs to
be some kind of return on investment for efforts and monies
invested by all parties concerned. This does not
always mean a financial return, but there needs to be some
sort of positive return for your efforts or why pursue it.
