It's been this odd feeling of "wow, we sure got a lot done today" and "wow, we worked all day and what did we get done?"
It kinda reminds me of the article I wrote a long time ago called "
typical" where a simple task turns into something huge.
Jocelyn said there are a lot of people that are wanting to come to the farm that have listened to a majority of the podcasts, but they want to come for just one or two days. One person was somebody who does a lot of work for the on-line empire. For that person my thinking is "no problem - giving them a tour is the least I can do for the huge help they have been for all that we are trying to do."
For the others, my thinking is: bringing somebody up to speed takes time and I'm concerned that the return on effort might not be high
enough. I suppose if it were during a super week, then it would be easier to be part of the greater group and not so much a drain on my personal time (Jocelyn has pointed this out many times, that people that are new want a lot of my time at first - good point).
The one thing that has shown to be problematic over and over is when folks have not listened to many podcasts. They seem insistent on how things
should be. And when they hear how we are gonna do things, they seem to want to "save" us from obviously not thinking this through.
I do plan on making a few exceptions, of course, for close friends/family and superstars that I have invited here to teach stuff.
So, for the people that have listened to ALL of the podcasts and want to come by for a day and a half: maybe. If we have some other folks here that would be good to work with you, then I think that could work out great.
