Sorry I did not find the way hear earlier. Trying to make up my mind about various conspiracy theories, … but that does not belong here at all. In case anybody cares, Seth Godin left already more than one comments on my internet marketing blog, but that’s the guy for the corporate world, isn’t he. Great that Mike and Tim showed up here for a short talk.

Before I go.
I don’t see many people changing their names on Twitter, but a lot are changing avatars like every other day on Twitter and Facebook. I think that’s foolish! If you wanna be more interesting throw up more, great, funny, … content (pics, videos, links, …), but allow your brand (name,avatar) to become a lasting impression. There is a good chance that someone with whom you had a single conversation a couple of month ago will remember you based on your avatar and name. So don’t fool around with that.

Yours
John

Great message Rick, you’re a true creative entrepreneur (and entertaining…truly a guy after my own inner stand up comedian).

I’m with you, it’s all about the message, all about what you love, and all about having fun doing it without buying into that old message and way of doing things.

And by the way, Viva La Outtakes, that’s what I’m talking about.

Peace my friend,

A simple idea – with such far reaching consequences!

But, as you said, he had to implement!

And so it goes…

Woody rules

If I were to respond to your comment with one word it would be – obviously.

Ideas without implementation are self defining.

On the upside, every fantastic invention, strategy, or improvement in the world began as only an idea.

In fact, even YOU began as your father’s idea. (Though it’s not likely he ever imagined you turning out as you have!
As I continue to attempt to clarify this new thing I do, comments like yours help me sharpen the message. I don’t want to be seen as a “brain fart” creator, even if I am very good at it!

Yes, I do create totally uinique and innovative ideas to help my clients solve the challenge of creating a life they love, doing work they love, and getting the word out to the right people, and some of my ideas are duds. Some are pretty amazing, too.

But, one of the most valuable services I provide is helping my “idea entrepreneurs” to sift through their concepts, titles, ideas, and strategies by applying my business experience to the likelihood they will accomplish what they really want (the lifestyle thing.)

In the end – I feel that having an experienced person partner with you on your business for a month or three and really pay attention and contribute as best they can – has a truly sharpening effect – and moves you a lot further down the road to your goals than you are gonna get going it alone.

Just having some fun with you Rick but during 20 years of business building I’ve had several self proclaimed “Idea men” pass my way. (red flags wave when I hear term “idea man” now)

I’m not telling you a damn thing you don’t already know but Creatives/Idea people need help going from concept to product. Not help spawning new ideas… they’re FULL of it already.

You’ve been a good friend and a great supporter for a long time and I’m glad to finally give you something valuable. The best advice I’ve ever heard for writers is _ “Writers Write” – so keep at it and just keep getting better.

The web has given us such a great tool to deploy and monetize our ideas, this is truly the greatest time to be a writer, filmmaker, speaker, or idea person.
