Aspen valley icon Mt Sopris
BMG is founded on many concepts and values, one of them is strength of character and standing strong (like a mountain). This particular mountain is not the tallest in BMGs home state of Colorado but it rises 1500 ft high above the valley floor. There are all kinds of mountain metaphors but visually and physically this mountain speaks to its virtues. The BMG founder knows this first hand through his snowboard ascent in the spring of 2010. The mountain proved a formidable opponent with an alpine start at 5am and the summit around 11am. Check out this tweaked photo from sopris just after sunrise.

The power of connections
Interconnectedness is a value of BMG as a collective. Here is an example of the power of synergy. This image shows how interconnectedness of world financial institutions and everyone knows how powerful they are. Its been said, "its not what you know but who you know," I think this confirms that cliche.

Rudyard Kipling Quote
The power of BMG is in the balance and depth of our organization. Rudyard speaks to this BMG value.
“If you can walk with the crowd and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run-Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a man my son.”
― Rudyard Kipling

Time: the concept
BMG thinks that time is an important factor in our mission to live life to the fullest (it enables us to live because we are finite) yet there is something off about it. This short paragraph about time describes a new(er) way to look at the universe:
Before the contrast and before the summoning, and before the answering of Source Energy, the Universe was less. So rather than thinking in terms of time, think in terms of expansion, and then you will understand time in the way we understand it. We never think about how long anything takes. We are just enjoying the expansion. And so, our now is always powerful in our anticipation of what is becoming.
--- Abraham

BMG Founder is 23, dalai lama speaks
Today marks another year gone by, and the beginning of a new one with new things happening. BMG plans to launch a clothing line, grow an outdoor guide business, and form a new social media site for colorado. This is the year of NOW. The Dalai Lama supports the idea: When asked what surprises him most about man the DL answers, "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. and then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die and then dies having never really lived." Wise words, and the new BMG motto.
