Personal Gold


If you live hand-to-mouth, and receive a salary, then your work is solving a funding problem. The work you do, as a transaction, pays for the life you live. “The lifestyle to which you have become accustomed”. I believe it is possible to move beyond this. To solve the expenses funding problem. Then the set of “how do we pay for this” questions expands. To how do we solve this. To how do we experience this. It is a coordination issue. How do we become aware of people’s needs, wants, dreams, skills, knowledge, and capacity? Markets are the easy answer, but as they become bigger they lose some of the fuzzy wisdom of intimacy while they gain in the brute strength of scale. Solving our individual base funding problems gives us a buffer of time and space to look more curiously. To look at the problems that don’t scale. That aren’t good business. Personal gold beyond scale.
