It's Wednesday! "What's working for you?"

We all too easily get bogged down in our day-to-day tasks. The status quo becomes a comfort zone. To break it open, shake it up a little, requires somebody asking the question, "What's working? How could all this work better?"

One way to shake it up, is to look into the world of people who are trying to shake it up all the time. That is their M.O. (modus operandi or mode of operation). It is a mind set that is worth adopting. Millionaires have it some of the time. Billionaires have it more often.

So, if you will, stop today for a few moments and look into the life of a new billionaire whose business is churning a billion or more in revenue this year.

More thoughts and references to billion-dollar ideas.
One of the goals is to have 100 billion-dollar ideas listed. All are free for the picking.

Wednesday Works! So, what is working? And, what's not working?

There are many billion-dollar ideas for a business, actually low-hanging fruit right there on our family tree, and nobody seems to want to pick it!?! I guess most people do not see the opportunity or they're scared to engage when they do see it.

Would you like to see a multi-billion-dollar idea, quite a simple concept, but a difficult idea to implement? On Wednesdays I'll begin here with a blog. Then, I'll go further out on a limb to explore some of those ideas over on our website. There will always be links between the two.

Initially, some of these ideas will appear ridiculous. With others, you might ask, "Why didn't I think of that?"

If you want to come up with your own unique ideas, just ask the question, what works? Come up with a list. Then look at that list again, and with each entry ask, "What doesn't work there?"

Sounds too simple, doesn't it? Well, try it. Begin with the start of your day. List everything that works. Before you walk out your door, you could easily have listed 100 things that just worked for you. Now, what could have worked better?

Those are practical, practice ideas. Your best ideas will come from deep within your thinking about those things that are real concerns and thoughts that you have had over time. Your very best ideas you have been thinking about for years. Those are your nagging thoughts.

I have a had a few of those, yet this one for this story is somewhat whimsical. It is about creating an uninterrupted walking path from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
