Check your purpose.
Gain some perspective.
The buzz is all about why (and rightfully so), but sometimes we also need a ‘why not?‘.

Insight > Information
When availability of data explodes and information overload becomes the norm, it is insight that we need and long for.
That time has come.
Don’t tell us what you’ve read…tell us what you’re seeing between the lines.
Don’t tell us what you’ve heard…share with us the beat, the tempo, and the rhymes of the song that is ringing in your ears.
Don’t tell us what the guy in the cubicle next to you found…share with us the feeling you’ve found in your gut.
Leadership in the days ahead will belong to the onion peelers, the sheet puller backers, and the insight pirates of the information ocean(s).
Ahoy.
Beginning, Middle, End.
Where can I contribute?
Am I contributing?

Everyone asks question #3 in the end.
Don’t forget to be asking questions #1 and #2 in the beginning and the middle.
Addition By Subtraction
On any given day how many silver bullets are you sold?
Thousands.
And they come in many forms: hamburgers, insurance, cars, movies, endless services, jewelry, Lap-Bands, and so on. All promises to make the frustrated you a more satisfied you.
Better question, what needs to be taken off of your plate?
The frustration remedy is more often than not more and more or less and less.
Do you have what it takes?
It takes instruments.
And it takes musicians to play those instruments.
Don’t fret about the stage.
It finds the music makers.
Here is this idea from three years ago…
