Great day today - couple of meetings with some great companies looking for guidance and leadership to take things to the next level.  And I'm loving it.  Getting out there and meeting some great entrepreneurs -  just like being in Boston, it's such a buzz.  And as a result, I'm finding opportunity everywhere.  

So I thought I'd offer a little entrepreneurial advice I came across recently.  Courtesy of Pamela Slim over at American Express "You Aren't Crazy, You're Just an Entrepreneur."

When you have reached a “closing” with the Just Over Broke (JOB) market, when your brain is boiling over with ideas, when all you see are opportunities, when all you breathe is freedom - congratulations, you've just caught the entrepreneurial bug. As you begin to get more comfortable with your shift in identity, start to brainstorm a bunch of different business ideas and scenarios. The sky is the limit as you imagine yourself as a software genius, media tycoon, or rich inventor.  There are no rules, and that’s okay.

So don’t edit your imagination. Run wild and think up new ideas for products and services. Don’t worry if they don’t make sense, or that no one you have ever known has ever been successful at it. The important thing is to brainstorm as many possible ideas as you can and gather lots of data from different sources.

Remember to shoot first, aim afterwards.

Since, when you start, there are no successes or failures, only feedback. It’s what you do, how you react to that feedback that will keep you moving forward.
