BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY

Unicorn Consulting Associates knows people are the answer. Not technology; not tools; not processes; people. We seek to embody the principles defined by four great minds:

The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz

3.	Don’t Make Assumptions
4.	Always Do Your Best

Philosophy
Books

The Thirteen Virtues - Benjamin Franklin

1. Temperance - Eat Not to Dullness; Drink Not to Elevation

2. Silence - Speak Not But What May Benefit Others or Yourself; Avoid Trifling Conversation

3. Order - Let All Things Have Their Places; Let Each Part of Your Business Have Its Time

4. Resolution - Resolve to Perform What You Ought; Perform Without Fail What You Resolve

5. Frugality - Make No Expense But To Do Good to Others or Yourself; Waste Nothing

6. Industry - Lose No Time; Be Always Employed in Something Useful; Cut Off All Unnecessary Actions

7. Sincerity - Use No Hurtful Deceit; Think Innocently and Justly, and If You Speak, Speak Accordingly

8. Justice – Wrong None by Doing Injuries or Omitting Benefits That Are Your Duty

9. Moderation – Avoid Extremes; Forbear Resenting Injuries So Much As You Think They Deserve

10. Cleanliness - Tolerate No Uncleanliness in Body, Clothes or Habitation

11. Tranquility - Be Not Disturbed At Trifles or At Accidents Common or Unavoidable

12. Chastity - Rarely Use Venery but for Health or Offspring, Never to Dullness, Weakness or the Injury of Your Own or Another’s Peace or Reputation

13. Humility – Imitate Jesus and Socrates

The Lone Ranger Creed
"I believe.....
That to have a friend, a man must be one.
That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.
That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.
In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.
That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.
That 'this government of the people, by the people, and for the people' shall live always.
That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.
That sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.
That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.
In my Creator, my country, my fellow man."
