The 7 Year Business Plan of You

0 I have I hope both a selfish & unselfish reason for wanting to develop this methodology with you now. Please hit rsvp button to confirm mail reached you 1.1 Alex & Alexis: selfish reason is I need feedback from you for dr yunus; - he's spending about third of his international time making speeches to 19-23 year olds and every american host around him is saying this is a success - large audiences that give him multiple ovations. For me and him its not as success until actions are empowered around youth that unstoppably end poverty ( globalization’s as is broken system) as well as helping youth leaders sustain themselves 1.2 hopefully unselfish reason: I think this method is one of the missing ones that peers around you need to practice and mentor each other- this assumes that obama (yes we can) is quite an unprecedented moment for culture of social innovation, the future of what your nation and your communities will achieve both in long-term goals and immediate relationship permissions of communal/social networks. I think this method could be used either informally amongst a few peers you most trust; or as an exercise that might be one of the practices that emerge a different type of university union club; or even one of the debriefing tools used at meetings of 10000 people (this is why I cc'd marriah who may be convening 10000 meet in boston this summer and is one of the few professors who's on the side of youth collaboratively succeeding with change even if this means tearing up conventional curricula). I also cc'd Rachel and Kevin cos their experience may help improve relevance of The 7 Year Business Plan of Self 2.1 a bit more about yunus- I find him quite scary because he has both the most selfishly audacious goals (end poverty -invite humanity to compete to celebrating poverty museums in every state and country) and the least selfish needs for himself; at 68 his region or the world wont meet his likes again, well unless obama is also from the same mix of half entrepreneur and half Gandhi (in terms of upbringing and life experiences there are reasons why they could be 99% coincident as leaders but I cant find evidence that their peers thinks so, whence its not useful to suggest that they are) 2.2 in footnote : some suggestion on why opinion surveying the unknowable is one of my few competences 3 Framing The 7 year business plan of you 3.1 why 7 -not a magic number but eg Bill Gates says less change happens around you in 3 years and more in 7 than you expect- ie change follows an exponential action learning curve not one that linear metrics guide you on; also 7 years involves transitioning at least one system you are in from education to whatever your plan is next 3.2 As per foot note, we need to iterate questions not expect a perfect first set; and I sure need your help on the questions as well as the answers but they might be
4 Five Minute Self Complete Questionnaire (version 1.0)
4.1 State between 5 and 7 things that you cannot personally afford to fail in over next 7 years (and what may be the same question state 5 to 7 goals that have most meaning to you but that are different) 4.2 what are some the conflicts between the goals or can't fails in 4.1 ( its part of all my transparency methods to try to surface conflicts and bios of socially innovative people show they do take on several big goals that they turn from being in conflict to being more in harmony than others knew) 4.3 considering yunus -or if you prefer select someone else who is global renowned in the midst of changing the world - what thing initially sounds most attractive to you about spending your time supporting his missing but on second thoughts may not be practical for you (given 4.1 and 4.2) unless what sorts of system support are locally available I am not sure italics are the best wording as example answer might be unless professors around us will upgrade us instead of examinations downgrading us if we spend time on these activities 4.4 If there was one other first question appearing next in a personal 7 year business plan, how would you word the question and answer
look forward to hearing whether this email makes sense-
any first responses by Inauguration of Yes We Can week 2 are particularly useful to communications I am stuck in middle of. In the event that useful to meet while I am in New York Monday or Tuesday great as this sort of dialogue can need to go to and fro between NY DC and Dhaka
