It took me one week to write volume 1 and another 2 weeks to get the video edited and plugged in.  Start to finish it was done in a month.  Volume 2’s turn around time was only 4 weeks.  I started Volume 3 in September, and it will be released on March 1.  What took so long?

Easy, when I sat down to start to write about asymmetrical strategies I realized I had no clue.  I thought I knew all about asymmetrical strategies, but as I dug deeper into where they come from and what their purpose is I realized I was grossly ill prepared to write this book.  Which is a problem since I told everyone I was the person to write it.  I had to truly go back to square one and reexamine EVERYTHING I knew and everything I thought I knew about asymmetries. What i realized, was that I really didn’t know much.

We are conditioned to believe that asymmetry is bad.  But, is it?  How do we know that?  What has led us to believe that?  Like many things I’ve learned, there is no either or – it is a continuum.  Things are more symmetrical or less symmetrical (asymmetrical).  To have asymmetry we have to have symmetry and then break that symmetry.  Without symmetry asymmetry cannot exist, and asymmetry is the sign of a more complex system.

Volume  3 goes VERY deep into asymmetry and before I could share that with you I was forced to reexamine everything I thought I knew about symmetry, asymmetry, and how they co-exist.  At the end of the day, without asymmetry we are not human.
