Introduction
Franz Bautista - New Hire, Philippines. 10/02/2013. BS Food Science, University of the Philippines, MS Information Technology, De La Salle University. C.E.H. Have had my own IT Consultancy business since 2000. Am a great believer in collaborative work and have deployed Google apps to a number of schools in the Philippines. Using this as a base for teachers and students to have a "virtual" as well as a real classroom experience. An opensource advocate. I came across Lifebushido from one of my contacts in Linkedin and excited to be a part of something that can move my business globally, and reach more people! I enjoy pioneering work and don't mind being the "guinea pig" of sorts to open doors for bigger opportunities.

Passion Paragraph
I love discovering new things. The pioneer in me always pushes me to try new and innovative ways of doing things. My clients benefit from this in that they are able to harness new technologies or new ways of doing things efficiently and economically. I believe that the opensource community has a lot of potential left untapped and can even perform better than commercial solutions.

My wife and I are passionate about sharing what we have learned in our marriage to other couples. We lead/meet groups of couples and study what the bible says about marriage. We walk, pray, cry and talk with them during difficult times but I cannot describe the blessing one feels seeing the victories in their marriages. It shows my wife and I that we have a lot to learn and share at the same time.

Animal Personalities
According to RCI I am a people's person and that I naturally bring out the best in people. I do agree but only in hindsight. I realize that friends, relatives or even people I just met gravitate towards me because of this personality trait. ||
 * === [[image:lifebushido-triangle/Boston_Terrier_face.jpg width="108" height="160"]] === || === RCI - People's Person ===

I have an attitude that in a bad situation I prepare myself by asking "What's the worst that can happen?" And most of the time the "worst" that I am thinking of does not happen. I am a risk-taker but I assess different avenues of each situation. I always have a can do attitude and like thinking "out of the box". Which gives for strange and sometimes weird ideas. A mongoose may seem unassuming but they have prevailed over the king cobra - translated, I am not to be underestimated even when the going gets tough or a David meets Goliath! ||

Introduction
= = Jamie Cole - New Hire, United States of America. 10/01/2013. Hello team! I am excited about this opportunity and look forward to us ALL getting hired at Lifebushido! I'm a licensed professional engineer and I recently left my job at NASA to explore more flexible work arrangement and spend more time with my growing family. I am technical and organized, and love challenges. In the past I've worked for the US DoD at MacDill Air Force Base, Motorola Inc., and Heico Aerospace. My goal with Lifebushido is to develop my unique skills into a profitable career. = =

Passion Paragraph
= = My greatest passion is my family. When I became a mother for the first time in 2007, my life was changed forever. I was now responsible for another person's health and well-being, both physically and mentally. This motivated me to be more productive and efficient, as my time-management priorities changed. The passion I have for my family is also what motivated me to leave my career to work from home, and thus apply at Lifebushido. = =

= = Second to my family is my passion for dogs. I have always been an animal lover, and I believe that dogs encompass all that is right with the world. A dog will love and be loyal to its master through anything. They will stand in the rain for you, they're always happy to see you, and they provide the closest thing to unconditional love next to God. I believe that dogs make people happier and healthier. From the canine units walking alongside military troops, to guide dogs leading the blind, to all the family dogs that bring so much to their family, the world is a better place because we have dogs. = =

 * == [[image:iStock-bunny-rusm.jpg width="324" height="243"]] == || === RCI - Security Seeker...that pretty much sums me up. ===

My RCI personality test revealed that I am a security seeker, much like a bunny. Characteristics that I see in myself are include sensitivity to others’ feelings, respect for tradition and law, extreme dependability, and dislike of conflict. The profile also includes that I am a thoughtful gift-giver, and that I enjoy and am proficient at creating structure and order, both of which I believe are true as well. I feel safe if I have a plan, and I like to execute the plan. And when all else fails, I can always use my bunny cuteness to my advantage! || = =

 * == [[image:lion-t1.jpg]] == || === Serengeti - Yay! Strategic Lion! ===

According to the Serengeti Institute personality test, I am a strategic lion! I love this designation, as lions are notably strong, intelligent, and noble creatures. I do agree with the designation, as I tend to plan carefully and execute meticulously. My plans are structured, but not rigid, so I can adapt to changes and adjust to meet objectives. Though I don't necessarily have the aggressiveness that's typically associated with one of Earth's great predators, I use my resources and almost always accomplish the task at hand. || = =

Introduction
Verneice Starling - New Hire, United States of America. 10/01/2013. I am a native Arizonian by way of Massachusetts who is creative, detail oriented, a big picture thinker, and a good listener. The majority of my employment history has been in primary through higher education, business to business sales, billing, customer service, and as an independent contractor in merchandising and operations quality and compliance control auditing. I own and operate a niche consulting business, and I am a virtual volunteer for two organizations. To me, work is great when it feels like play. I am looking forward to joining hands and minds with the members of the Pacesetters' Triangle to repeatedly accomplish goal after goal with resonating success. I learned of Lifebushido through VirtualVocations.com, but it was a discussion in the Workplace Like Home forum which caused me to apply for work with Lifebushido. Attaining work as an independent contractor is tough business, and when I received the e-mail recommending I join a Triangle and what the benefits were in regards to the application process, I jumped in hoping the water would be fine, and it truly is.

Passion Paragraph
My two greatest passions are holistic health and faith-based social enterprise. I am into holistic health because my body is challenged with five food allergies and one food intolerance, all of which are ingredients found in most American food dishes and compliments, and my body is also challenged with a slew of environmental and chemical allergies. These issues alone cause me to focus on what is healthy for my body because without my body my spirit has no place to live. I have become a homebody by default. Choosing to stay home and choosing when I leave home. I grow my own fruits and vegetables, make my own breads, pastas, dressings, gravies, body lotion, soap, shampoo, and astringent, and use natural ingredients such as vinegar, salt, and hydrogen peroxide to clean my home just to name a few ways I stay healthy within the restraints I have been given. The health of the body is also impacted by mental, emotional, and spiritual health and physical activity and rest. These areas are also important components in my life, and I actively pursue self-enrichment directed at spiritual growth, soul health, physical activity, and rest. Food, spirit, soul, and body are the corner stones of my passion for holistic health. My actions do not always line up with my passions as I still have food battles, and I do not get enough sleep, but I prefer natural remedies over pharmaceutical, plan where I live and vacation by where the natural/health food stores are, and consciously do my best to be good to myself by being choosey about what I watch, read, and listen to and keeping myself away from things which harm me. How many people do you know who hangout in WebMD.com? Well, now you know at least one, me!

My second passion, faith-based social enterprise, has found its way into becoming my occupational love. I spend some of my time helping individuals and groups design, launch, grow, and maintain social enterprises. Faith-based enterprises are special in that they also harness the religious beliefs of a group, present them in the marketplace as part of a business’s operations, and use the proceeds of the marketplace to fund using the faith of the organization for positive impact into the lives of re-entry prisoners, battered women and men, homelessness, juvenile delinquency, child abuse, hunger, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, drug and sex addictions, and just about any other social ill society faces. I love it! When I have enough money saved, I hope to launch my own faith-based social enterprise and franchise it across the nation maybe even around the world. I AM a social entrepreneur.

Animal Personalities

 * == [[image:lifebushido-triangle/bulldog.jpg width="174" height="230"]] == || === RCI - Tenacious Bulldog.... who me? Naw, you're joking, right? ===

According to the Bigger Gains RCI I am a Tenacious Bulldog. Tenacious I am and always have been, but heartless I am not. There are several statements made about the Bulldog characteristics by the Bigger Gains RCI which do not apply to me and many which do. I do deal with life rationally and logically, and I do tend to see challenges which need to be overcome to accomplish a goal. I do not think of myself as a natural leader, but after many decades of being given leadership roles I have humbly come to accept the fact that I was given leadership qualities which have been honed by the experiences of life. I do enjoy complex things and finding solutions to the problem. I am a doer therefore I often take charge and will definitely do so when no one else will. I value education and enjoy intellectual conversation. I am efficient, and I do get disgruntled over discrepancies, waste, and not learning from mistakes. I am very detailed but also curt and to the point in my speech. Yes, I am opinionated, but I usually back up what I say with facts or logic. I chose my family as my first career focus and worked in education and dabbled in business while my children were young. I am still family and home focused, but I admit to being pulled by a self-designed career aspiration which reaches outside of my home, now that my children are grown, but also allows me to work from home. I am very business minded and quite entrepreneurial. In the ways I mentioned above I am very much a Tenacious Bulldog. What I like most about the RCI report was the closing paragraph which reads. “Remember to seek for balance in your life. You are talented; you are assertive and ingenious, and very capable of turning long-range goals into workable plans of action. You can, and will, achieve anything that you put your mind to.” The report’s closing statement is inspiring for me because it is an accurate assessment of my qualities and it gives me hope that one day I will get out of my own way and be successful in the way the world defines success. This was the first time I took this personality assessment. ||


 * == [[image:lifebushido-triangle/Crocodile.jpg width="233" height="174"]] == || === Serengeti - Okay, now I am starting to get concerned. I really AM a gentle person. Enterprising, yes, but a crocodile? ===

According to the Serengeti Institute personality test I am an Enterprising Crocodile. I am not happy to be a crocodile because to me they are ominous creatures who devour everything, but based on the Serengeti description I agree with the result because I fit the characteristics of the Enterprising Crocodile. I do show initiative, find myself always involved in new projects or ventures, think outside of the box, have vision to see the current possibilities into the future, and possess a strong desire for success. Following through on a clear mission, fostering creative and imaginative cultures, putting in the short term effort for the long term goal, and spending considerable time working alone describes me perfectly. From what I know thus far, I am an Enterprising Crocodile. This was the first time I took this personality assessment. ||
