So, where to start?
I'll start with my bigger current project, that is being prepared for kickstarter. Basically this was just an idea, that I started as part of an exercise in brainstorming. However, since that idea came up, I've been trying to poke holes in it for a very long time and it still stands! It not only stands, but I'm much more confident in developing it, since I'm seeing all kinds of positive validation that the idea is sound.
I would be A LOT more confident though, if there was a whole mastermind group that wanted to poke holes in it, but I currently don't belong to one. Maybe it should be on my list.
Maybe, as a suggestion to Shannon and the moderators, it's time that BASE got its own subforum in the Wealth category.
I can even see a point to having a private section for BASE (and BAMM) owners, which to serve the point of a mastermind group? An entry fee of $500 to $3000 will surely create an environment of dedicated people, who are comfortable sharing ideas there. We will also be reinforcing each other's programming in the process.

Other stuff - a lot of people, whom I haven't met in a very long time, are popping up from everywhere. People from probably 3 (if not more) social circles, that I used to belong to, are showing up, interested. Some of them are already ambitious, some of them want to be persuaded to become ambitious (and they are beginning to realize it). And then some of them, and I don't mean to be sexist, are just girls. (did that sound sexist?
) Not that I don't enjoy working with females, but I wouldn't say this is their kind of interest.
The internal problem I'm seeing is that it's very easy for me to lose my footing. It only takes for me to hear somebody sharing an exciting idea, or to enjoy a new girl's company, and I lose track of where I'm going with my projects. This has happened at least 4 times in the last week, which is too much for my productivity. My guess is that I'm not handling stress properly and anything new is a welcome distraction. It annoys me as hell, which probably means it will be gone soon.
So I'm meeting a lot of people with valuable skills and interest, but I still wouldn't classify anyone as hire material. Either I'm just learning to filter people out, or I'm not yet a great salesman and manager. Also, stage 4 of BASE will guide me to create "a vision, that people want to be a part of". I'm guessing that will help also. Stage 4 starts in 5 days.
