SPARK is a fun project and it will help to classify many of the businesses that we come across. Your site is always an inspiration. Looking forward to your September series!

As you can imagine, I was doing my own little hula dance of joy here reading that you included key values, however I also think you nailed the other essential ingredients with the creativity of your acronym too. Much is required to run a wildly successful business, but we continually find that focus is essential, and mantras like these (which you have a real talent for producing!) can capture the essence well so that all stakeholders are lokahi (unified, collaborating in harmony). At the same time, they invite initiative; e.g. how is reinvention and innovation incorporated into *Routine* so that processes never slide into mediocrity? I like the connection to your MBA program too: This is a neat little acronym for capturing book comprehension into one's memory of take-aways. I'll be reading!
