I do hope this group is a reality and not an April 1 joke. Wow, this group is just what I needed a few months ago. $1k is enough to make it hurt if you don't reach your goal.

One of my professors did this so she would finish her doctorate. She set aside a certain amount of money, for instance $1000. She set up a timetable of when she would have what done (e.g. rough draft by such-&-such a date). If she didn't get it done on time, $100 would be given to her *least* favorite charity (e.g. The 'pedophiles who also torture bunnies' charity). She enlisted a friend to hang onto her $1000 so that the money would actually go to the hated charity and she wouldn't back out. Here's an idea.

Ask someone if they'll buy something and they'll tell you yes - ask them to buy and you'll probably get a totally different answer. (I think I read that in the Four Hour Workweek) Crazy stuff – in a good way.

I'll be so curious to see how this plays out. I'd be game, except I have a day job =(. So that means I've got to start putting my goals on the line somehow so that I'm sans day job soon. Wonderful idea Clay. This is a great idea. I'll be so curious to see how this plays out. I'd be game, except I have a day job =(.
