I'm not sure that it's prudent to post every business thought, money making idea, etc... I realize that this isn't Grand Central Station, but I believe that if we were to post the secret recipe to make a Coca-Cola, people would find it. Not to mention I think that we've come up with some very good ideas. Especially you. Regarding the "Challenge" - What is the challenge? I understand the rules, I understand the difference between your goals and mine, but I don't really see anything beyond that. You suggest good ideas (i.e. letters to role models). I don't see what you're offering (RE: "no lose-offer"). The point is that I have employees (greenbacks) working for me now and will be tomorrow as well. I'm working on increasing the number of them and their effectiveness each and every day. If you're challenging me to improve my financial position, I accept that challenge. In fact, we are more or less born into that challenge, aren't we? If you are challenging me to be a better person, I accept that challenge as well. My underlying question is how would you/we measure or quantify each other's performance at the end of the challenge period? Is our performance measured by others or ourselves? Are we competing against each other or against the “rat race”? I don’t understand some of your post, but I get the gist of it.
