Making Work Meaningful and Sustainable in the New Economy - The 7 keys to regaining control of your life, work, and destiny
series key 7: Live Your Dream
"No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now." -Alan Watts
Terms and Conditions - Living Life on Your Terms
by Lorée Beth Rider, PopCopy Marketing
Be honest. How many of you actually read them? Checking that ‘terms and conditions’ box is like a means to an end, we can’t get from step one to step two without checking it. And all too often, we do it blindly, without thinking, without reading, without really agreeing.
When we check it for iTunes, or to download an app, we could easily say, ‘What’s the big deal?’ but in our very own lives? Do we check it there, too? Do we blindly agree to the pre-established ‘terms and conditions’ simply as a means to an end?
There’s a dubious quality to feeling a call. And if you’ve ever been pulled toward a purpose greater than you, you’re bound to suffer a bit of embarrassment trying to live it out. Any pursuit that involves staying true to yourself forces you to read through the traditional terms and conditions that you’ve checked so many times before. What’s in there that’s left you craving more in life? What have you agreed to in the past that’s gotten you all you thought you should’ve wanted … except the hole inside you?
What you end up finding when you finally read through them ultimately forces others to examine their own pursuits, so you must be prepared to defend your new terms. If you dare to set your own terms on life, you risk loss, you risk failure, you risk humiliation … but you earn meaning. Because with every bit of the ‘leaving behind’ you do when it comes to living life on your terms, you’re investing instead in the business of making meaning."
"Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it.
Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it." -Sai Baba

"It’s not about us. It’s about them."
That’s what makes the difference when it comes to good advertising. Popcopy knows ‘them.’
We catch their eye in a crowd. We warm them up with charm and banter.
We listen to their stories, their frustrations, their wants
— and, just when they feel we’re the only one
who gets it…
Pop!
We hand them the solution — you.
Because it’s about you, too. You’re busy. You have choices.
You might be skeptical and you’re saturated with marketing messages, too.
So why not pick a wingman who gets it?
