My 2c: At best, this is a prank. Nothing adds up, including the LinkedIn link. If andrew_yates were serious, he would have explained things in a simpler manner.

I'm in a hurry. I'm making this up as I go. I'm in the luck business of diversifying risk over lots of stupid ideas very quickly.

"I'm in a hurry. I'm making this up as I go. I'm in the luck business of diversifying risk over lots of stupid ideas very quickly."

That sentence says volumes, both about you and the organization you're representing.

Then again, if startup founders knew exactly what they were doing all the time that would be a counter to innovation, which is a function of adaptation and serendipity.

He knows where he is starting and where is going but not the journey inbetween. I think thats pretty fair. Give him time.

We can help him in discovering the journey.

1. It is quite similar to Steve Pavlina's Million Dollar Experiment.

2. My interpretation is that this is a sort of a "club" where anyone is welcome to contribute ideas and work on their own or in ad hoc collaborations to increase the value to the world and as a by product report their earnings so that Andrew Yates can add them to his total as being the trigger for this whole thing. This is like the butterfly effect in chaos theory or a leadership training in the real world. This month will be fun for the participants and is achievable.

I won't be able to come to the face to face meeting (I'm in Israel) but will participate if there is a website. waiting for byiq.com

Oops, did you just add a zero there?

Instead of 100K you're aiming at 1MM?

I'm working on a subscription based web site, I like the challange and this will help me to motivate myself to work extra on making it fast!

Thanks! I like the idea.
