Mark Stephan’s Summary

God is Light, and Prosperity your Shadow;
If you are always chasing Prosperity, it will always run away from you...
If you chase after God and His Ways, Prosperity will follow you...
(Old Indian Saying)

I am living in Austin, Tx awesome city that I love to call home. Also between the years 2002 & 2008 I have lived in Istanbul, Turkey. I currently have my base in Austin, but frequent my team in Turkey often.

I am a proponent of socially responsible business, and making the world a substantially better place.

My business goals in my near future are:

#1- Developing a sustainable business that succeeds profit-wise, and enables ethics to be the guiding force in business relations. I want a business that is built to last, and a life and a society that is built to last as well.

#2- Helping others succeed by following this model. I believe when others succeed financially, socially, emotionally, and spiritually, everybody wins.

Business is more than just making profit, but rather meeting the needs of society, whether financial, social, emotional, and/or spiritual. I enjoy people, and really want people to succeed! My goal, however, is not to make people feel good about just anything they may do, but rather to help them do truly great things for themselves and those around them, and feel accomplished that they have done something great that few have the courage to do.

A big part of who I am is involving my entire life in everything I do. I do not have divisions between home-life, work-life, private-life, public life, secular-life, and spiritual-life. I know every part of my persona effects every other part of it.

What types of connections am I looking for?

- Individuals who think Socially Responsible Businesses are Cool!
- Individuals who are interested in goal #1 above.
- Individuals who desire to strive for excellence in a less than mediocre world.
