Are You Chasing Your 'Lion'?
What does it mean to 'Chase Your Lion'? Heath Mullikan was inspired by Mark Batterson’s book, 'In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day' in the summer of 2009. He uses this phrase to describe the process of discovering one’s purpose, passion, and possibilities in life. Consequently, from that the questions, 'What is the one thing you would do for God if you knew you couldn’t fail?' and 'What’s keeping you from that?' arose. Heath's site, Chase Your Lion, is designed to provide you and me with the latest resources to encourage and equip us to live the lives we were created for. The time for excuses is over. It’s time to 'Chase Your Lion.' ~ Heath Mullikin

International Philanthropy
Here's an enlightening, informational presentation entitled, "International Philanthropy 101: A Framework for Going Global" sharing where businesses, corporations, and their foundations are donating, generously, from the Entrepreneurs' Foundation.
"The Entrepreneurs Foundation (EF) Corporate Citizenship Conference is for companies to develop and strengthen their community involvement and philanthropy programs.
The Conference showcases corporate citizenship programs from a variety of large and small, public and private companies, and other celebrated experts who will address issues, trends, metrics, and best practices." ~ FORA.tv
Summary for International Philanthropy 101: A Framework for Going Global:
Is crafted for corporate practitioners who are considering establishing an international corporate giving program as well as those already active in international giving. This session included a discussion with corporate practitioners and non-profit organizations on the following topics:
- Where and how to start "going global" -- What are the range of models for globalizing your corporate giving program? What are some "do's and don'ts?"
- Expose issues and resources -- Discuss potential resources for solutions and structures, legal implications, technical requirements and cultural differences, and best practices.
- Share case studies of how a U.S. based company can effectively engage in philanthropy outside of the U.S.
- Structural considerations when making donations from the company vs a corporate foundation/foundation fund grant." ~ FORA.tv

Belief and Deep Conviction
And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen."

Twenty Years from Now
more disappointed by the things that
you didn't do than by the ones that
you did do.
So, throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."

About This Blog
Welcome! I enjoy inspirational quotes for the insight and wisdom they impart in just a few words. I’d like to share them with you in this blog, as well as posts, videos and other content related to achieving affluence in a positive, life-enriching way for yourself & your loved-ones, and then generously helping others achieve wholeness via affluence, too. I like to highlight "All Aspects of Affluence for a Life of 'Heaven on Earth' as Much as Possible for Everyone, Globally!"
FYI: 'Ciao' is an Italian word which means 'Hello' and 'Good-bye'. With the title of this blog, I've chosen 'Hello' because I'm greeting AFFLUENCE and welcoming it into my life, blissfully. I aspire to encourage you to do the same, too, if you are not already doing so. So, essentially, we're saying, "Hello, Affluence!"
Visit '2010' and 'Financial Affluence' to watch and listen to videos featuring people that have welcomed affluence into their lives. I believe you'll find them uplifting and inspiring. Their heart's desires are coming true!
Thank-you for visiting with me! Here's a page of the Marketing Mentor's Resources for Growing Your Creative Business for you. If you're an entrepreneur or would like to become one, I think you'll enjoy the information. Have a delightful day! Take care.
