My name is Tori Taiyo Johnson. I was a marketing consultant until I learnt the hard way that dealing with clients is no fun. So, I said goodbye to them.
Now I focus on developing automated web services that empower small businesses (see the list below). Business Process Engineering and re-engineering small businesses interests me.
I graduated from Jochi University (Tokyo, Japan) with a bachelors degree in (and a love for) international business. But my real business education and “personal MBA” has been forged working with entrepreneurs in the fiery world of small business and supplemented by $1.50 in late fees at the public library.
You can’t hire me, but – if you could – a link to my résumé is at the bottom of this site.

At the end of 2008 I took a month to analyse myself and the meaning of my life. The inspiration and assistance for this task came from the book First Things First by Stephen Covey.
The following is a somewhat abridged version of my personal mission statement. Some of my mission statement is personal and I have chosen not to share it with the world. No doubt that is understandable. But this version hopefully gives you an idea of my mission and an example for your own personal mission statement.
Personal Mission Statement
My mission is…
through continual development of qualities of character to:
1) … Seek to understand the purpose for my life.
2) … Be fulfilled whatever comes my way (contentment). To be confident. (internal. not based on external circumstances)
3)… [personal]
4)… Create a mobile lifestyle; very few possessions. Continual language learning.
5) Live with excitement, joy, love and deep/helpful relationships with other people (like family and friends).
6) (through knowledge, continual learning, industry, frugality, focus, discipline, and systematisation) conduct business and live my life in a way that facilitates the above life purpose to the greatest extent possible.
7) Help others to do the same.
