Ok, let's make it happen.

Chris Guillebeau just wrote about building cages versus empowering. I just read it, and it struck a chord much in the way that this post of yours did: http://chrisguillebeau.com/3×5/the-small-man-bu...

Hey man,

Thanks for the comment. I hope this post can help others see the great things that have happened to me because of the simple, the small, the sometimes I thought 'dumb' things I have done.

Your take on ideas is spot on. I used to think I should keep it all in, shhhhh it's a secret. My good friend Beth Andrus, @beth_andrus, told me this...

"The people who will take your idea are the people who already have enough ideas on their own." I add to that... We always try to do the next BIG thing, something that has never been done.. But why? There are SOOOO many people out there and SOOOO many of the same products that it is not about that most of the time and rather about YOU, YOUR COMMUNITY, and that my friend is how this whole game called life works. People.

As for your coffee statement... So true. Making people smile, everyday, is more powerful that we think. People should make sure to walk by a person that can help them get to the next step in their career EVERYDAY. Just say Hi. Boss, VP, CEO, whatever... That will to the RELATIONSHIOP you need.
