1-800-AWESOME---exquisitely awesome, as the title suggests

Custom Toll Free is a DBA of Rugly Holdings Inc. launched by Chris Rugh 1997, eventually becoming the leading provider of toll-free vanity telephone numbers for companies, given by the format “1-800-TOLL FREE” directing callers to a specific department operator within a corporation. With that in his pocket, Chris Rugh eventually became a motivator, directing potential entrepreneurs and businessmen through the publication of his book “1-800-AWESOME” which outlines tactics as to how can be successful, with reference to the sub-title “Tactics~Making $ 10,000 an Hour”. His blog provides an motivational insight of how we can be successful doing what we do for a living and containing recommendations for the book “1-800-AWESOME” which is a motivational guidebook to success.

In my opinion, I actually find what this man does very interesting in every aspect. Being an experienced entrepreneur himself, which reflected into successes in his personal life, Chris Hugh then went on to motivate other so that they can be in the optimum position in life and in the office. That being said, in a way he can also be considered a social entrepreneur in which he shares the benefits of long term strategy in order to achieve success. I strongly believe that the existence of his blog and book may motivate and help more people in the future.

Anyways, his blog can be found here.

The Website of the Book can be found here.

A Positive Environment---Freakish ?

A few days ago, I was talking to my father on Skype, we discussed about where I would want to work in future. I briefly replied him that I do not know yet as of now, but I told him that I wanted to find an office where I can be happy with little pressure and having the utmost fun in what I do for a living. After a brief laughter at my statement, my father simply replied that I should be really careful in making such conditions as my motivation or reasons to be unproductive by procrastination. Later on, inspired by Alex’s post on this topic, I decided to voice my opinion about the new and evolved workplace environment.

Zappos.com is one of the example of  a company that provides a fun, low-stress and euphoric office environment for its employees. In my opinion, a positive and fun work environment is indeed, a surplus in increasing employee motivation. However, the availability of these conditions burdens heavily on the employees themselves in balancing the fun and getting their work done, when a balance is achieved in these two factors, an employee’s work will reach its maximum quality, quantity and maximum motivation.

Don’t know what Zappos.com is ? open this.

Save the Orangutan Campaign Promotion

Today’s civilization and economic infrastructure were achieved through a period of exponential and continuous economic growth which improves human civilization. Sadly, these conditions disturbed more and more part of the ecology as society continues to grow, part of this disturbance is the decreasing land for Orangutans in Borneo, Indonesia. In response to this, avid scientist Willie Smiths, now a social entrepreneur, established the “Save the Orangutan” non-profitable organization dedicated towards the conservation of Orangutan in 1991. “Save the Orangutan” functions a protector of the Orangutan through conservation programs from the loss of habitat in deforestation and illegal logging and the organization also aims to restore the Orangutan’s natural habitat and raise public awareness of these endangered animals.

Although I agree with what Timothy said about how social entrepreneurship should benefit society as it focus through his example of the social entrepreneur Jamie Oliver, I feel that social entrepreneurship should not only benefit human society, but also other components of the world such as ecology. Despite the fact that social entrepreneurship is already good in nature, I sincerely believe that the more you can give back to the world, the more that you’ll receive in return to your own welfare.

Anyways, I recommend that for those of you interested in the cause of Saving the Orangutans open this website.
