Sorry to have been away so long

Yes, I do apologize. To be frank (right now I wish I was anyone but me, yes, even Frank) I have been on the mend. The last tour just about wiped me out and then this nasty speaker’s curse, the curse of the throat, plagued me for weeks. Harsh, cough, gravel, hurt. All of that and more. Which of course affected the rest of me…will I ever be able to speak again? Oh, my goodness, is this it? Am I on my way out? Weak, weak, weak. You get my point.
Imagine if you were a framer (you know, the guys who nail up the wood to make the house) and you broke your arm? Or imagine you were a software guy and you developed an allergy to computers. Or imagine you were a football guy and you twisted your knee. Get my point? Oh, the curse of the technician follows us all like a sneering dog hounding our every mortal step. Is it any wonder I say to you all, go to work ON it not IN it despite the obvious fact that while you are getting your business ready to grow you must work IN it as well as ON it because if you don’t, who will?
It’s also the curse of the Start Up, which is all work and all fun and all guess, guess, guess, and who knows what’s going to happen?
Which is the great extraordinary blast of it all. Oh, well, yes I am mortal, and oh, yes my body at times is weak, weak, weak, but who said God would favor me over all of the rest of you? And isn’t this what we’re here for, we, creators all?
So, I’ve been on the mend and that’s why I haven’t been writing to you. But, there’s one other thing I’ve been immersed in as well. I received a gift while I was gone on the road. A book, from Marty Sklar of Disney fame (he is the recently retired vice chairman of Disney Imagineering). The name of the book is Organizing Genius: The Secrets of Creative Collaboration, by Warren Bennis. And I’ve been reading it. And you have to read it, too! All of you. Right now. Run to Amazon.com and get your copy even before you complete this Manifesto.
It is the story of Great Groups, as Bennis calls them. Great people who organized to produce great works that were impossible to produce given the ordinary way people produce anything, but which were produced, again and again because of the intensity, the vision, the profound energy and leadership and dreaming that seized the hearts and minds of these amazingly dedicated, passionate, insane individuals who collected together on a mission…to create the atom bomb, to create the first computer, to democratize the computer for each and every one of us, to create insanely brilliant airplanes, and more.
Read about Great Groups and you’ll understand what’s missing in your Dream, your Vision, your Purpose and your Mission, and why you absolutely right now have got to change. Collect yourselves together and pronounce after me, “There will be no other to fulfill my mission than me!” I will seize the day! I will trash the past of my lack of intense dedication! I will create something beyond belief, and I will raise the stakes beyond belief as I do it. Thank you Marty Sklar for sending me this gift. Thank you for waking me up. Thank you for reminding me of something I already knew, and did, so that I can awaken the entrepreneur within me.
Oh, it is all wonderful stuff, isn’t it friends, to be in the middle of our lives, hunkered down and rising up and feeling the poet within us? Do you get the feeling just yet? Read the book.
You’ll immediately get what I mean. And then let’s talk about it. There’s no time to rest. There’s so much to do.
There’s no time to rest and there’s so much to do and to hell with the subject of balance!
