Contagious Enthusiasm

Bad idea: jump ropes made out of barbed wire.

Good idea: Ziploc bags, in various sizes.

Ideas come and go. How do you figure out which ones are the best ones? You think about them. You talk about them. You bounce them around the kitchen, the living room, off your friends, onto the world wide web and out the door.

But a lonely idea sitting on the sidewalk in front of your house, just waiting for the wind, might blow onto a car and drive around town and meet people, or it could blow under a bush, and turn into mush. Introduce your ideas to the right people, and let them sprout.

I like ideas, I like people, and I like connecting ideas with the right people. I can't help it, I just do it, and I get excited about it. Then I get other people excited, and things just start happening, and the next thing you know, I know someone who knows someone who needs to know about your idea.

I put the social back into social networking. I talk to strangers. I'm easily excitable. I'm Contagious. And I can help you. It's true, I really can.
