How to win a game

I sat in on a Landmark seminar this week and it was about what you need to have in place to make a brilliant idea work. This is it:
Integrity
Relationship (i.e. interested in what's in it for them)
Existence (this blog is me working at existence structures)
Enrolment

I had a sudden flash of every fabulous idea I've had in the last ... 15 years... that has gone to shit. the cringe-making list. But when i looked at it, i realised I completed quite a lot of other things that didn't suck. They are just out-shone by the failures. So my new project is spend some thinking time to look at the failures without cringing, working out what i didn't do (from the above list) and put them to sleep. Beautiful and useful doesn't need me dragging donkeys and pianos around on my coat tails. (you know, that film with the cloud and the eye).
