General Consultant Discussion

We should get a travel update to everyone this week. I'm still very very concerned that people will email that they are going to attend and then ultimately it will be me, Jeff, Jim and Robert Wood staring at each other...

You'll be staring at me too.

Just sent an e-mail to all.

Thanks

I am assuming that bringing other members of the firm is acceptable as the 90 Minds membership is firm based. Please respond if this is the appropriate assumption.

I'm OK with it.

Works for me.

We still need to get a call on the calendar to talk about content for the firm of the future session. Are you guys available this week?

I am available most any time. Just doing YE stuff. Any time in mind?

I am fine with members bringing anyone else from their firm -- I'm also fine if a member brings a guest.

@JohnShaver I'm around this week too. I would like to possibly add in or slightly modify some of the talk --- or at least get your opinons --- on whether we can create some take aways where members are much more capable of subcontracting with other members. Things I'm thinking of are not only how to do this fixed fee wise but also the practical ways to work fee spits, etc.

Tomorrow or Thursday. Friday would be bad for me.

@Wayne, we should include Alnoor in that conversation. That way we can talk about from both angles.

I bought refundable tickets this morning. Rates went down dramatically since this fall.I'm in on Thursday about noon and leaving Sunday morning.

I bought tickets just now ($300 RT plus fees) - in on Thursday out on Monday afternoon about 3pm

Mine was about the same.

Will book hotel stay this week for Thurs and Fri night.

Anytime on Thursday works for me for a call. How about 10am on Thursday? I'm ok with everyone who is interested in the FOTF session being on the call.

RT ticket was a little less than $300 with fees. For once, Knoxville is cheaper! Oh wait, I have to fly Frontier...it's probably less reliable than the '52 DeHavilland seaplane that I flew on in Key West. Prayers are welcome!

And less interesting.

I'll be arriving SD arround 11 AM Thursday morn. Anybody else coming in then so i can buy the second shuttle ticket for $9. Looks like Myron just might be my ticket....

And where the hell is the Wolf?

Did he drop his Blackberry in the shitter or something?

It's a Windows Mobile phone. He's been busy.

That's right, even worse. Busy? Like the rest of us have just been driving through Florida or something like that.

Even worse...he was in Vermont!

I guess I should clue @PeterWolf in that we're talking smack.

Holy shit! The land of Big Foot. And I don't mean the Sasquatch variety, right Wayne? More like Whack Pack.

Really SC? I guess I meant to say Holy Poop!

Well, you know what Alan Weiss says about using profanity in social media...

So I guess I can do my Artie Lange imitation in SD? It's really good.

Although since Dr Al referred to Simon Sinek as a moron, Al's drifting quickly into irrelevance. http://www.contrarianconsulting.com/in-case-you-were-wondering-what-i-was-thinking-13/

I read Dr. Al's blog entry. It contained no worthwhile information. If you are going to blog, you better provided something of value and don't waste my time.

Totally in agreement, Myron!

John, I'm shocked! You're slipping away from the Church of Weiss?

I think Alan was probably more pissed that they deleted his criticism than anything.

That's the problem with Al, he wants followers who worship him. His motto is ""think exactly like me or I'll publicly humiliate you!"". He may have been but he's not exactly a gracious host on his blog either.
