On June 10th 2010, I sent out this email in an attempt to found a Personal Board of Directors, to whom I can turn for advice and ideas, and to make a yearly review of how I’m doing, and what I can do better.

If you are interested in having your own Personal Board of Directors, please feel free to use my email (or other information) as a template. If you want to be on m board of directors, please read the email below, and send your info and answers to FarMcKon@gmail.com.

Hey Folks,
I've jokingly been referred to as 'Far McKon Cooperative Industries' on and off over the last few years.  I recently joined a Getting Things Done Cult. Or, I meant to say Club. Getting Things Done Club. Anyway, one of the folks at the club recommended having a board of directors, and a yearly review.   So, based on that idea I am reaching out to ask if you, dear reader, would like to be on my personal Boardof Directors!

As a member of the Board of Directors for Far McKon Cooperative Industries, you would be asked to :
 * Once a year read a short document, covering what I plan to do in the next year, and provide feedback.
 * Once a year read a summary of what I did in the last year, and provide feedback.
 * If possible, attend the yearly Board Picnic, located in Philadelphia PA.
 * Be available for the occasional phone call asking for advice in your area of expertise
 * A nicely printed Diploma to hang in your office!

This is not a joke. However it is about 10% farce.  I think I get good life advice from friends, but in a hodge-podge way.  Seeking out good advice, and making a bit of a framework for it, and making it a bit of
a farce is my way to learn from people with different experiences, get good advice to grow as a human, and connect to some people I respect.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please reply with one or two sentence answers to the following questions:
 *  Do you feel comfortable advising Far? In what venue of life (finances, or career, or Life, The Universe, and Everything? ) do you have good advice to give?
 * From what you know of Far, what are two things he does well?
 * From what you know of Far, what are two things he need to work on?

If you choose to reply with some answers, I'll get back to you in a bout a week with follow up information.

If you are getting this email it means I value your opinion, and want more of it.  Whether or not you are interested, thank you for being a positive influence in my life.

hack on,
 - Far

 P.S. Oh yes, this is an unpaid position. Unless you consider a picnic
once  a year 'pay'. It'll be a mighty tasty picnic!
