A Recipe for Failure
In a large mixing bowl, stir in these ingredients:
1 cup Good Idea
3 cups Vision
2 tbl Great Site
16 oz Capital
2 pints Community Support
When fully blended, leaving just a few lumps, heat in a medium skillet. Just prior to serving, mix in:
2 cups Market Realities
1/4 tsp Project That Just Doesn’t Work
_(For quicker failures, omit ingredients in the blend such as Capital, or Community Support.)_
