My two cents worth on whats been an amazing couple of weeks.Congrats to everyone!
The transition of Brandon's initial concept to Matt's fundraiser may seem like a deviation from the original "Grow the WP Crowd numbers" idea. Here's my take on it.
I believe it perfectly illustrates a fundamental about what can happen when a small group takes a bit of action.
By taking a step outside of our comfort zones and taking action and asking someone.... extraordinary things are possible.
The evidence is in this thread.
When we give our time, effort and money in a spirit of generosity without benefit coming back to us individually, we can initiate real change and make a real difference.
Who knows where this could go to and what's possible?
We can choose to take action.Or we can choose not to.Both choices perfectly okay.
There's power in what's been created here.I can think of a multitude of reasons why I wouldn't take action, ALL perfectly plausible,all valid.
Or... I can choose to park those justifications.. and just do it anyway, like Brandon said.
We could take the same approach we have seen in this thread with the original concept,
i.e. by taking action and asking someone...
"Would you like to come to the Phoenix with us on Sunday" for instance..
..who know's what else is possible??
