Coming back from my Japan trip, where I am processing about 1200 pages of notes, one question popped up right now and I want your feedfback. One root cause is this: There is "no one way of doing things (like how do we manage ourselves and manage others)". The mission and goal is clear but the change causes conflict.... thus we have one owner and one operator coming in to both have the same goal to improve the company. So what do we do -- this is a question I need help on. Now imagine this. You and I are both project managers. But when we start working, things get crossed or miscommunicated. What we agreed to happened, but then other people, who were following the other person, keep on doing things the old way. But we expect the other to “follow” and follow the rules of the other project managers’ way of doing things. How do we reconcile this? How do we determine who does what? Or areas of responsibilities? And then double check with the other to make sure that the split works? Rather than one feeling like they’re doing 100% vs 50% — is it easier or better to get a 3rd service/support/make something new so it helps get everything to be done faster, easier, done etc. The simpliest GRAFT/implementation is to just let the other managers work, and they just get drowned out of illrelevancy. The CEO not using AI vs n operator (us) joinining and out performing them by so much that they literally give up. But this is also in conflict of things that are non digital like "We should clean X room, or Decide on what Y time to do our company meeting, or Z we need to get rid things from task app A to task app B because of the whims of the CEO wanting to feel like their needs are met. This feels like stuff I'd ask for myself, but this pattern is what I see in other dysfunctional ceos and teams. Thoughts? plz

QUEST Community Governance Proposal Status: Open for Discussion (1-week comment period)Ratified by: All voting members + standing senators (revenue-producing leaders) 1. Voting Rights All paying members get one vote. Proposals are ratified by standing senators (revenue-producing leaders of the organization). 2. Bounties & Compensation Bounties are paid as phantom equity (slices) — think of them like a coupon bond that pays out whenever the company makes money, for as long as you're actively contributing. If you're willing to trade time and demonstrate revenue-capturing throughput, you'll be compensated the same as anyone else in the organization. 3. Current Milestones # Milestone Status 1 Finish QUEST OS Workbook + Training ~90% done 2 Business owner case studies ~80% done (editing) 3 100 local practitioner case studies ~5% done Note: Anyone using the workbook can and should become a case study. 4. Open Roles: DM Outreach The opportunity: Build an AI-assisted outreach system. Each account sends 30–40 DMs/day. With ~1 hour of work, we see ~10 joins/day per account. The math: One worker running 10 accounts → ~100 joins/day. Pair with a free group onboarding funnel ($27/mo or $300/yr) at 40% commission — enough for a decent living. 5. Treasury - Liquid: $1,000+ (covers 12+ months burn at current rate) - Illiquid assets: $50k+ - Reimbursement policy: Cash requests are reimbursed at a 4:1 ratio, paid out over 12 months as phantom equity slices. Your percentage is based on the total pool. - All paid (voting) members decide how treasury funds are spent. - 6. Culture: Daily Check-ins To build a culture of execution, every active contributor checks in once per day — async, 90 seconds, any channel (Skool, Discord, or DM to your lead). Format: What you did → What you'll work on → What's blocking you. The standard: One project at a time. Finish before starting the next. If you're blocked, ask for help or find a different path through. Accountability: Anyone claiming inner-circle status without contributing will be removed and lose their slices.

In Japan, they live and breathe Lean. Everything is uber fast -- not just the trains, not just the factories, but every small facet. Markets, street shops, and even traffic light professionals. I've recorded about 3000 videos that I'm editing on how to apply Lean in business and get the best of us to meet and cowork. So far I have ~ 4 people interested for a full and private and free cohort. Requirements 1) Get to 5+ Dual N Back 2) Complete the training in full workshop and complete the soon to be posted workbook 3) Build your own AI Operating Machine (aka your own private AI Waifu) that literally knows everything about you, your hopes, dresires, problems, and fantasies and helps you get and keep them Like I have said, this will take a few months. I have curated some resourfes, but as soon we turn on the engines, free public gates will close for good. (You cam still lurk, just can't interact and take our time to ask for help). Our income so far -- We have ough runway to run for anoher 3+ months. We've doubled in size each month since January, so I'm switching from "barter to cash" using the 100M Models. We have open roles, and positiond oprn, snf snouy 200+ buinedds owners I WISH I can refer others to but people haven't even started or made any progress on A, B, C. And expect a 100,000yr job to be handed to them+ control someone elses business baby w/o any training. New perspective. I'll eventually tour some Isreal or US based factories to see how they operate. But if you haven't read the books, commented, or hung out, or started working on uour own or others biz yet, you are behind and will be culled out of the group to make way for the people who do want to make sure they aren't part of the permanent underclass...
