What a Joke

I don't think that I think big enough. I tend to limit myself and what I think I can do. That needs to change. 


These thoughts are my main takeaways from this week's lessons in Web Business Creation. 


In order to create a successful online business (or multiple online businesses...why stop at only one?), I must think outside the box. I should look for problems that need solutions. Or, I could look at an existing business model that could be tweaked. I need to do some brainstorming exercises. 


In 1899, Punch Magazine, a comedic periodical, ran a story about why patents were no longer necessary because "everything that can be invented has been invented." Can you imagine if everyone thought that way? What would happen to modern medicine, transportation, education, politics, human rights...the list goes on.


And, we could add to that creativity. We will never unleash all the potential possibilities that our collective human minds hold! The trick is training myself to believe it (note to self: see blog post dated January 29, 2018, entitled "Brain Food").
Anything is possible. I'm working on it.
