Independence Days

Don The Idea Guy July 5, 2016

sparkler150x01_pexelsYesterday everyone got together to grill meat, drink beer, and launch glittery explosives into the sky; all in the name of Independence Day. But the real fireworks come EVERY day when you take advantage of your freedom to think independent thoughts and take independent actions.

It’s be scary to be out there all alone.
There is comfort in being part of a large group.
The problem comes when you sacrifice your own original thoughts and ideas solely to fit safely within a large group.

Rather than relinquish an idea you feel strongly about as membership dues for admittance to a larger, stronger, louder assemblage, why not attract others who share original thoughts and ideas (similar to yours or not) and band together in order to create a safe haven for individual thinkers and doers.

Before you know it, your collective of creative independent thinkers may outnumber the masses who’ve given up their individuality in exchange for a mundane marching orders and a membership card.

A consortium made up of many minds is much more exciting to be a member of than a homogeneous mass.

Job Duties vs. Opportunities

“That’s not my job.” I’ve heard this phrase uttered way too much in the workplace during my career. The sentence is usually being shot off like a gun intended to blast anyone else in the vicinity of the person’s ire. People tend to have a narrow view of what their job duties entail, and they […]

Don’t Lose Your Head

There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don’t “do the work” and expect other people to cover for them, they’re constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear […]
