My Thoughts

The kids were really excited for watermellon.  But, who isn’t?

Slice.  Seeds? 

“What are these black things?”

The seedless watermellon has been around for quite some time.  It was a novel idea when it was first introduced.  It was one of those “luxury” items that left us with a feeling of, “well, we won’t eat seedless watermellon all the time, just on special occasions.”

The internet was kind of the same feeling.  It wasn’t that long when a lot of companies still were existing without a web presence.  Today, the thought almost seems silly.  And, those organizations who were late-adapters suffered…because Google was already going to the races with all their competition.Why not learn from watermellon?  The internet?  Once technology stakes its plot of land, it’s very difficult to go back to the old ways…seeds, phone books, memos.Be an early adapter.

What’s sooo much fun? 

I remember being a kid and going to watch high school basketball games with my dad.  The players, to me, were heroes. To an 8-year-old kid those guys were famous—they were superstars. I recall playing basketball on the playground—pretending to be one of those players.  And, my friends and I would argue over who got to play the role of each player.

Sure, some of you may have actually watched high-school players become superstars…but not me (no offense to the guys who played at my high school).  I grew up in small town, northern Minnesota.  Sure, we’ve had our share of professional athletes, but mostly on the ice…not on the court.  

So, what’s the point?

BizRibbon.com is launching as I write this post.  Today, I’m a fan of the people who have come to realize that their purpose is to help others find their dreams—in business, and in life.  And, because of the tremedous feedback I’ve already received, every day is like a new adventure—and I’m like an 8-year-old kid again, playing with my heroes.
