Brad Feld, Managing Director of the Foundry Group, an investment firm from Boulder CO has this really cool post the other day that sounds like Yoda from Star Wars. I think this rocks.
BE ON FIRE
WORLD FULL OF IDEA. ALL NEED IS BRAIN. MOST HUMANS HAVE BRAIN.
IDEA BY SELF IS COLD. JUST SIT THERE. DO NOTHING.
IF WANT DO SOMETHING, NEED FIRE.
NEED BE ON FIRE.
WHY BURNING MATTER
MAKE STARTUP HARD. IT HARD BECAUSE YOU WRONG. YOU FAIL.
FAIL COLD? GO HOME. QUIT.
YOU NOT QUIT. YOU BURN. FAIL IS FUEL. MORE FAIL, MORE BURN. BURN FAIL UNTIL ONLY WIN LEFT.
THAT WHY BURNING MATTER. NOTHING STOP PERSON ON FIRE. NOT SLEEP. NOT SICK. NOT BROKE. NOT BULLET. NOT END OF EARTH.
NOTHING.
FIRE MAKE SMOKE
ANGER IS SMOKE. FIRE DESTROY. DESTROY MAKE NEW THINGS GROW. COLD PEOPLE HATE FIRE. NO ONE WANT TO BE FERTILIZER. FIRE NOT CARE.
LOYALTY IS SMOKE. PEOPLE FOLLOW FIRE, GET HOT. NOTHING STOP PERSON ON FIRE. PERSON ON FIRE WRAPPED IN HOT CROWD? THAT FIRE CHANGE WORLD.
WIN IS SMOKE. PERSON ON FIRE NOT CARE ABOUT WIN. NOT CARE ABOUT MONEY, FAME. WIN HAPPEN WHEN BUSY DO THINGS THAT MATTER. THINGS ON FIRE.
WHERE IS FIRE? LOOK FOR ANGER. MIDDLE OF ANGER IS CHANGE. MIDDLE OF CHANGE IS HOT CROWD. MIDDLE OF HOT CROWD IS WIN. MIDDLE OF WIN IS FIRE.
HOW MAKE FIRE?
WORLD IS BROKEN. FIX IT.
RIGHT IDEA HARD. RIGHT IDEA HURT. RIGHT IDEA IS HOLE IN WORLD.
RIGHT IDEA MAKE BURN INSIDE TO FIX. CAN TAKE DAY OFF FROM IDEA? IT WRONG ONE.
FIND IDEA THAT BURN, GRAB WITH BOTH HANDS, NEVER LET GO.
THAT HOW MAKE FIRE.
YOU MUST BURN
EVERYONE THINK WAY TO STARTUP IS TALENT + IDEA + MONEY.
EVERYONE WRONG.
STARTUP NOT ABOUT MAKE THING, SELL THING. STARTUP ABOUT CHANGE WORLD.
WORLD IS COLD. YOU MUST LIGHT WORLD ON FIRE.
YOUR FIRE.
YOU. MUST. BURN.

Who is Wendy Capland?
I am the creator of The Magic Parties.
What is Wendy's Background?
I have 20 plus yrs of experience working in the executive and leadership development field. Our consulting team coaches, trains, and consults to develop the leadership skills of entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. We help our clients discover more powerful ways of leading in their communities and their organizations increasing results, changing themselves and those they touch, and leaving a legacy that makes a lasting footprint they are proud of. You can find out more about my business background and the work we do by going to my business website at
http://www.visionquestconsulting.com
In addition to my corporate work, I find myself asking the question, "Is this enough? Could I be doing something more with my gifts and talents?" And over the last few years I notice I am being drawn to expand my work beyond corporate leaders and corporations. Not an entirely new focus but a new expression. In some ways it feels like I am being called like a huge universal magnet to help others also answer the question, "What's next for me?" Thus the birth of The Magic Parties; a community of women who gather to birth themselves in a new way. A way they have forgotten. A journey into themselves and into wholeness.
And speaking to many women since starting my own journey, I notice how many of us are feeling a whole new kind of spiritual awareness awakening inside of us. For some of us, it is too embryonic to describe with any real clarity yet. But it is there. And we feel it. And for some of us, we know what it is and are sorting through how to express it and fit it into our lives. And for some of us who are living in our full gifts, we are sorting through all the possibilities for expression that are ahead of us in our journey.
A circle of women. A place to come to where we can learn, be witnessed, be connected and supported by other women on the same path. A place where we can remember who we really are; a place where we can listen to the deep source of wisdom within ourselves.
Do you sometimes feel like you are being called forth? Do you sometimes feel like God, Your Spirit Guides, Your Angels, The Goddess, The Universe is whispering your name to come forth? Do you have a yearning for something that has not happened yet but you can feel it? Taste it? And imagine it, sometimes even in detail?
Join our community by becoming a member to help yourselves and others become their best selves yet to be born.
