In times of great change, the opportunities are endless. Maybe Confucius said it hundreds of years ago. Definitely, I said it 20 seconds ago.
My friend Margo was telling me about her experience hanging out with a friend of hers. Through the course of the conversation, seemingly ever half an hour, her friend would remark. “there goes another million dollar idea!”
“The guy just sees opportunity everywhere!” Margo shared with me. ”and ya know what’s weird, when I did a survey of business incubators around the state, several directors mentioned this phenomenon. About half of the people who came in, wanted to do something, be a part of something, but didn’t know what!”
As Margo is telling me this story the proverbial light bulb went off…. “Those people need each other!!” Well, duh!!
This is the kind of connections a Think and Do Tank can create. As we jump into creating sustainable lifestyles, everybody can be an essential participant!
Today you’re clueless…”just give me something to do”, but to the person who is spewing out ideas, you are gold. …
“Man, I love it that you want to run with this idea! sometimes I think I’m such an airhead….Hey, there are two other people I met yesterday that want to lean into it. Here’s their cell numbers…get a hold of em and we can brainstorm it. With your combined skill bases, we can work out the details! This is a million dollar idea!!
Get the idea??!! Ok then, let’s make sustainable real!!
So how do you see yourself? An idea generator, or a worker bee? What are the options here? Share how you see yourself!
