I took an entire month out, the longest vacation in my life. Now I'm
full of great positive energy which will be required for the mission
going forwards, so I'm very pleased I did. eComm was largely on hold
whilst long-term (2-5 year out) decisions were being made. It was for
these two reasons that things have been quiet over the last month.
A core decision was whether I had the required energy, enthusiasm, interest and time to pour further into facilitating the community that eComm represents, in order to drive things further towards a "satisfactory conclusion". I've always forfeited any form of monetary reward (even to the point of shunning any personal expenses) and it's taken considerable investment to go from zero to the current position in only two years. Adding weight to the decision is my own personal stance that if I agree to do anything I will do it well and I will ensure that I create value which extends well beyond me in the process. Furthermore, I've got unlimited valuable demands on my time, many desirable creative ventures which would already take lifetimes to fulfill, as well as lucrative offers for my time.
Back at the computer history museum in March 2008, I clearly saw 7 steps to get to "our venerable goal"; a certain position that will be a great source of value, a great cause and with a lot of positive side-effects for a great number of people. Last month's event coincided with the completion of "step 4".
I've taken the necessary time to ensure I can commit. I can. Now is the time to band together and to take the next step, "step 5". I greatly hope, expect and anticipate that those passionate about communications innovation, the future of communications, will assist me in this meaningful endeavor, as details emerge.
Regards, Lee
