Mo Questions

 * What work will that require?
 * What roles/commitments are needed?

These are ideas/notes from our breakfast. Please reply with decisions/comments.

>>
 * Our Goals
 * I suggest a timebank of each of us spending 1 hour per week for next 5-10 weeks to help each other with respective life goals.
 * I can help you with "everyone in a forum" goal and beta-ideas for other business revenue forum ideas.
 * You can help me with weekly teleseminar which helps with Lifebushido Triangle Training and concept and feedback as you see interactions of Triangles.
 * Everyone in a Forum
 * I am spending time and money as social entrepreneur to push this forward. Join me.
 * You likely know 10-20 other entrepreneurs who would gladly join us and contribute their ideas and resources to beta tests. Feel free to connect me via email and suggest we speak on phone.
 * Global: I already have the global stuff flowing and it is very very interesting to have global virtual Triangles. It works and many USA people have never interacted with someone in another country.
 * Based on our breakfast, as of now, Lifebushido Triangle is open to the world: http://lifebushido-triangle.wikispaces.com/. No cost. Personal growth focus. Triangle formation and training for 30 days. It does not matter if they want to work at Lifebushido. That part if optional. My goal is to have 5 Triangles starting by 2/10/14.
 * Business - Fast Forums - Growth Triangles
 * Target market is CEO, VP Sales, VP Ops, VP Fin/HR of $5m-50m companies.
 * Target buyer is CEO of a Inc 5000 company or a Verne-type company growing at 10%-20% or more per year.
 * Easy to create target marketing list from Inc 5000 lists and your own network.
 * Create Triangle of either CEO and 2 VPs from 3 different companies, industries, and cities. Or just 3 VPs without a CEO.
 * Could be virtual or could be same city in person monthly.
 * Cost: ?? Perhaps $995/month per company (Triangle) or $9,995/year plus one-time training fee of $XXX perhaps $995. That covers 3 people in company so cost is about $3,000/person/year.
 * Triangle Training of 30 days and about 10 hours commitment in first month.
 * Daily Accountability Email - takes 5 minutes a day but critical to build flow.
 * Weekly Triangle Call - self-run for 30-60 minutes by Triangle. Mini member updates and parking lot. Gather info for monthly presentation.
 * Monthly Triangle Meeting - facilitated 1-2 hours conference call with presentation.
 * Quarterly Retreats - at Camp Mo - Camp Lifebushido. Either self-run or addl cost.
 * Lifebushido Triangle - impact if you are in a Triangle or not
 * I think you mentioned this idea/research item. Can you clarify your question or concept or what you want me to gradually test?
 * If there is a reason, I could connect you to 10 Ishidos (people who work with Lifebushido), who have been part of Triangles to gauge their impact and value.
 * Anything else?

Questions for Mo for interview for Triangle Training - 2/11/14 Mo, These are suggested questions that I will ask you on our call. I will use forum/Triangle word mixed together and request you try to use Triangle word more often than Forum. Feel free to modify questions or give me some others to ask.

 * What is a forum and how does it work for in-person groups?

 * In terms of our focus on Perfect Job, Goals, and Focus Unique Talent, how do you think Triangle Members can help each other?
