I’m a huge fan of a kooky comic strip called Sacred Cows. The first time I ran across it, I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.
I love it because it blends an undervalued form of pop-art with a unique (& relationship-building) business offering with cultural/spiritual whistle-blowing to wake up (and chill out) those of us whose mind and hearts aren’t free enough to see where and how we’re locked into a way of thinking that we can’t move past.
Never mind dream, innovate or lead ‘a way’ from…
I love it because it’s whimsically audacious.
I love it because its crafty irony snuck right up on me, which made it all the more startlingly funny and powerfully effective in delivering its message.
I love it because it’s a great example of a cool product with heart, purpose and profit potential up the wazoo (think free-trade organic hemp t-shirts, screen savers, apps), as well as a great reminder (I’m a BIG fan of leveraged purposing).
The truth is that when you’re committed to being a thought leader who’s on a mission to serve in ways people have never been served before, creating value where none’s been seen to exist before – all while building a business like nobody’s business (restoring the soul of business along the way)…
You must be free.
- To be audaciously bold.
- To be craftily and creatively daring.
- To do (or be) the fresh and unexpected.
- To trust our senses and follow where and what they point to.
- To mash-up stuff that doesn’t seem (at first glance) to go together.
- To stand for what you alone are meant to stand for, in the way only you can stand for it.
Free to think, speak, act, create and see – really see – for yourself, as yourself.
Free to re-imagine business and life. Art and service. Spirituality and profitability.
And to be that kind of free, you’ve got to make a habit of serving up some Sacred Cow.
Starting with your own.
Steak anyone?

Loved it!! I AM whimsically audacious! More people should give it a try… authentic is so much better than pretending to be what the world thinks it wants! Stand up – Stand Out! Be bold!
