Organic Growth II

Having looked at the constitutional aspects, how about getting the activities off the ground:

•  Dream big, but start by thinking small - attempt things that seem within reach so that: 
• we could achieve what we committed to do
• avoid the temptation to try and do too much and then fail, losing moral
• learn from the smaller projects to give us confidence in then tackling bigger things

• Simplify wherever possible – things get too grand and complicated too quickly, so go back and simplify to make things easier to achieve
• Demonstrate some early successes (i.e. find some low hanging fruit)
• Work up from the grassroots, and allow things to grow bigger naturally rather than jump straight into 'we will take over the world' type schemes

It seems to me that most of these are principles which new mission projects would do well to take on board.
