Robin, once again your process thinking comes in! Focus!

Fortunately for me, I've been building platform for years and I know the hard work and team work it takes. I'll write about those soon.

Again, wish you could be with us. We will be having a live twiter stream on the big screen from the #likeminds tag, so you can speak to us that way!

Hey Scott,

Yes, you are uniting people around a platform, and that is indeed important.

The integrity of the platform – and it's ability to rise above the noise – will depend on the strength of the support structures i.e. the organizational grunt, effort and hard work that goes into making things happen – getting things done.

A platform without solid support structures is just another hunk of wood – inert, boring and impotent.

It's great to get excited and rally to the vision and cause, as long as some is there to 'do the dishes and take out the rubbish'.

Best to you for Like Minds. May it be a major success.

Robin
