Building a Better Mouse Trap

Sometimes, all that is needed is a better MouseTrap – a better way to solve the problem, a modification on the structure, some much needed enhancements, etc, etc. You don’t need to be an innovator to be a creator, sometimes all you need is a tweak to take something broken and make it better than before, better than anyone imagined, and through that create a better product that will re-invigorate a worn-out market or need that people have long forgotten. History is littered with examples so don’t worry if you haven’t invented the latest tire that tweets out it’s mileage and

Don’t Measure Yourself by Others Standards

If someone tells you that you are really, really, really, really bad at something and you should not be doing it, you have a choice to make.

Stop Reading, Start Doing

It’s so easy to receive that umpteenth email about a great course you have to watch, a book you need to read and a lecture you need to attend. Maybe you’ll finally receive that one last golden nugget of knowledge that will make you a success. Or maybe it’s time to stop worrying about what little bit you are missing and start building, creating, trying, failing, breaking and most importantly just doing. You can only consume so much content, so set the playing field before you begin, read these 3 books and then start? Okay do that, but don’t get sucked
