Insourcing
I think it is important that I let you all know that it is officially tomorrow. The crisis, friends, is over. We can rebuild it. And we can do it better, and faster than you think. I call it Insourcing. So does Wikipedia. This is our moment. The pressure has created diamond. This is already happening all around us. It is time to walk the walk, people. You know who you are.
I know that you’re all very excited about the presentation, so I’ll give you quick overview.
1) Forgiveness. The rich played an excellent game. The economy is the result of a beautifully complex series of good and bad decisions made by an immeasurable number of people. Some of those people won the game. Most people lost. The good news is, it’s over. Let’s forget who got paid how much and when. It’s over. It was their finest hour. And that hour has passed.
2) Faith. Now, it’s our time. Think loaves and fishes people. Think mana from heaven. We live in a world of abundance. It’s hard to see, but it’s there. Communities of intelligent, inspired, devoted people. We don’t need money, we need jobs. The difference is subtle, but it means everything. Scarce money is not the same as scarce resources. Forget tomorrow, kids. The sun’s out.
3) Networking. Remember, we no longer need to be rich. We can be wealthy. Wealthy is better. It’s not about money. It’s about resources. Your biggest resource? The people you know. Dig it?
