Small dreams and big dreams

Small dreams look at what’s available and choose the best option. Big dreams look at what’s needed, then figure out how.

While it’s easy to order from the menu, is easy best?

Why does private industry always outperform government?

I was watching Interstellar on a plane the other day. It’s an awesome movie and if you’re a parent it’s a powerful representation of the love we have for our children, a love that transcends time and space. This line in the movie sums up not only why robots won’t replace humans (you don’t need to worry about that any more), but why business owners have an unfair advantage:

“Because that’s how it’s done…”

Is the opposite of, “I’m not sure, could we do it better?” What’s your default?

Do you commit to constant and never-ending improvement of your business, or are you happy with how it is?

The world’s changing, are you?

A traveller arrived at a city…

A traveller came to a city gate and asked the gatekeeper “What’s it like to live in this city?” “What’s it like where you come from?” answered the gatekeeper. “Pretty horrible actually. Not much fun and too much work”. “Pretty much like that here” replied the gatekeeper. So the traveller turned away to seek somewhere else to live. Another traveller arrived at the city gate and asked the gatekeeper “What’s it like to live in this city?” “What’s it like where you come from?” answered the gatekeeper again. “Pretty wonderful. Lots of joy, creativity, co-operation, care and love”. “Pretty much like that here” replied the gatekeeper. So the traveller walked in.
