CONSTITUTION Article IV: Corporate Colors, Flag, Salute, Oath of Office, and Pledges of Allegiance

Our presentation of the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution continues today with ARTICLE four (4), which covers our Corporate Colors, Flag, Salute, Oath of Office and Pledges of Allegiance.

In memory of each other, our liberty and freedom, our personal
power and potential, and the Power of Providence that endowed
us therewith, we hereby hoist the Freedom Focused Corporate
Flag as a token of our never-ending pursuit of Truth,
Existential Growth, and Freedom.     

Corporate Colors and FLAG

The Freedom Focused corporate flag can be seen at right.

This company flag sports our corporate colors, which include crimson and tan as primary colors. Black and white are also employed as secondary colors.  

The double "F" stands for Freedom Focused, of course. The arrow and target symbol is used to remind Freedom Focused Agents (and everyone else) that self-action leaders are always focused on a given target, and more specifically on the bullseye of that target. In general, our "target" involves things such as Truth, Freedom, Growth, Character, Productivity, and Results. More specifically, our "targets" can be any kind of long-range, mid-range, and short-range goal or daily task in which we are aiming to achieve.

Freedom Focused Corporate Salute

Corporate Salute

In or out of uniform, Freedom Focused Agents may salute each other as part of a formal or informal greeting or farewell (departure). 

The official Freedom Focused salute is similar to a right-armed, closed-fingered military salute. However, instead of a 20-30 degree horizontal right-hand/arm extension to the forehead, Agents employ an 80-90 degree right-armed, closed-fingered extension to one's right temple. At full extension, the tip of an Agent's index and/or middle finger rests squarely on one's right temple. 

Corporate Oath of Office

In military, governmental, and some other public and private offices, it is common for individuals to take an OATH of OFFICE as part of a swearing in ceremony upon assuming a new function or position in the organization.

Upon being hired, all Freedom Focused Agents are required to take an oath of office whereupon they swear their personal and professional allegiance to the SAL Theory and Model and the Freedom Focused Constitution. At Freedom Focused, we faithfully adhere to this practice, which includes the following actions:

At the beginning of a new term of service, an Agent (or Agent-to-be) raises one's right hand to the square and rests one's left hand on a copy of the SAL Textbooks, which contain the SAL Theory and Model as well as the FF Corporate Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and repeats the following after initially stated by the swearing-in Agent:

"To my utmost capacity, and on the sacred altar of my honor as a human being, self-action leader, and soldier of freedom, I solemnly swear to magnify the role of ———State Position———in a never-ending quest to preserve, protect, defend, uphold, and exemplify the principles and practices of the Self-Action Leadership Theory & Model in my life and career.

"I further swear to preserve, protect, defend, uphold, and exemplify the Freedom Focused Declaration of Independence and Constitution. This I do of my own volition in a committed and never-ending quest to seek after Truth, hearken to conscience, build and maintain order, and discipline my mind, body, and spirit in the faithful attendance of the duty I hold to myself, my faith, my significant other, my family, my friends, my team and organization, my community, my state, my country, and the world-at-large, so help me God (or "Serendipity" -- Agents may choose between these two terms for one's personal swearing-in ceremony)." 

Pledges of Allegiance

Freedom Focused is an American Company headquartered in the Southeastern United States. All FF Agents who are American citizens are encouraged to swear allegiance to the United States of America, and so pledge that allegiance at official company meetings and other designated corporate events (including official work days) where the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance will be individually or collectively recited as follows:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 

Freedom Focused is a Florida Company based in Palm Beach County. All FF Agents who are Florida residents are encouraged to swear allegiance to the State of Florida, and so pledge that allegiance at official company meetings and other designated corporate events (including official work days) held in Florida, where the unofficial Florida State Pledge of Allegiance will be individually or collectively recited as follows:

Honor the Florida flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Florida, one state under God, one and indivisible.

As a token, reminder, and renewal of one's oath of office, all Agents are expected to continually pledge their personal and professional allegiance to the Freedom Focused flag at official company meetings and other designated corporate events, including official daily work days. At all such times, the FF Pledge of Allegiance will be individually or collectively recited as follows:  

The Freedom Focused Corporate FLAG

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Corporation of Freedom Focused; and to our Constitution, for which we stand, one organization, Providentially endowed, indivisible, with endless growth and freedom for all.   

At present, Freedom Focused consists of only one Agent—Dr. JJ. Nevertheless, ONE is all that is required to start an organization and/or a tradition. As such, I have already begun a practice of regularly reciting all three pledges of allegiance in my home office.

Pledging allegiance... to the U.S., Florida, & Freedom Focused

Pictured at the right is the place setting on my desk that includes the United States' flag, the Florida State flag, and the Freedom Focused corporate flag flanked on the left side by the SAL Textbook, Volume I, and on the right side by the SAL Textbook, Volume II. This is appropriate, since the SAL Theory and Model and the Freedom Focused corporate Declaration of Independence and Constitution is contained within the pages of these two volumes.  

I have also included the Freedom Focused pledge of allegiance since I am still working to memorize it myself. In due time, after I have these words singed deeply into my long-term memory, I will remove the words and leave the flag by itself. Then, a little ways down the road, the second person will begin pledging allegiance with me. And then the third, and then the fourth, and eventually the hundredth, then thousandth, then ten thousandth, etc.  

That's how great organizations, movements, developments, changes, and quests always begin... as one energizing and illuminating idea inside of a single person's head, heart, and soul. And I'm honored and privileged beyond measure to be the one to have had this idea so deeply and firmly planted in my head, heart, and soul, and to have been further favored with the focus, will, and determination to see it through to fruition. Bit-by-bit, step-by-step, everything is coming together in its time.
