I’ve just tried to get in touch, let me know when you guys want to discuss Feisty Studios with my partners and I.

Smart money = partners & $

Regarding the pitch thing – reminds me of thsi quote from Ricardo Semler.
“Consider, for example, typical employee recruitment.

“It is like Internet dating,” says Mr. Semler. “I’m always six foot, four inches, and I look like Brad Pitt; you are always Cindy Crawford or Angelina Jolie. In the recruitment process, we put out fraudulent stuff about the company, like we’re going to double our earnings, leaving out that we’re also transferring all production to Vietnam in a year. You forget to tell us that you have fits of rage, that you worked six months here, six months there, and it’s not on your resume. Then we meet at a bar and decide to marry. What are the chances that is going to work?” he asks.

At Semco, by contrast, “We put out ads that are realistic,” says Mr. Semler. “We don’t have an HR department, so the person who has the opening will take the stack [of applications] and distribute it for review. We wind up with a group of 35 people in a room, 15 of whom are candidates. When that conversation ends, our people will pick three for further interviews. They’ll come back several times. By the time we decide to marry, we know a lot about these people. That leaves us with 2 percent turnover in an industry with 18.”

In fact, you reach that level when you value who you are.
Suddenly you realize that you could make that little small thing better. And because you apreciate and love yourself you do it right with the right people and the suficient ressources .You don’t even realize how well you do it because it’s natural, because you are more than what you do and what you do fit well in who you are.

Once that said, I still try to understand APMl and particls to integrate it in travel project.

Bye

people > time > money

that makes a lot of sense to me.

We are presently seeking partnerships over money, and we don’t even have enough money…

You also need to work smart, rather than hard.

I have seen many, many companies focus on the wrong things while smaller more nimble companies simply solve the right problem with minimal complexity – Twitter for example.
