Faster faster, faster faster

There's no earthly way of knowing, Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing, Or which way the river's flowing"

Things definitely seem to be accelerating with my projects, especially with projects one and two. Project two is getting to the point where we can start to put down a structure and divide roles and responsibilities amongs the group. We've scheduled a meeting for this coming week to start to nail things down. Maybe by July 1 we'll have an announcement ready for a press release. Maybe not though, you can never be too confident. Although I do have to say that parties I've bounced the idea off of have had a very positive response. I've got 4 companies waiting to come on board as soon as the project is ready to launch. I've been lucky that the medium/high level conversations with these 4 companies have so positive. It really shows that the basic concept is sound and broadly appealing. Plus, the names of the people involved in the group lend much credibility to the project. I'm hoping to have a couple of "big fish" support the project publicly and through a back channel or two.

Cascade

cas·cade (k-skd)
n.

1. A waterfall or a series of small waterfalls over steep rocks.
2. Something, such as lace, thought to resemble a waterfall or series of small waterfalls, especially an arrangement or fall of material.
3. A succession of stages, processes, operations, or units.
4. Electronics. A series of components or networks, the output of each of which serves as the input for the next.
5. A chemical or physiological process that occurs in successive stages, each of which is dependent on the preceding one, and often producing a cumulative effect: an enzymatic cascade.

No, not the Cascade Mountains. But they do look particularly gorgeous today. Look at definitions three through five, the "cascade effect". Projects are really starting to cascade. Projects I've been trying to get rolling fo rthe past 8 months or so are now starting to fall inline with other projects I've just started. One feeds into another that opens the door into another somewhere else. It is really amazing to see all of these things starting to accelerate. I almost feel like I'm on a roller coaster. My only problem with that is I tend to get motion sickness on a roller coaster...

I hope to keep all of the projects up in the air and work on all of them. But it may get to the point in the next couple of months where I will have to start picking and choosing what I do mare carefully rather than working on all of them. Having two children, how do you pick your favorite and the one to focus all your attention on? If you neglect the other, what happens when you come back? It's too late at that point.

Regardless, one of these will have to start generating an income. So far they are generating a lot of interest with all the people I've been contacting.
