    I’ve said it before, but we live in Interesting Times…sure there’s the downside of the economy and the constant drumbeat of all of the negative news out there, But there’s also an amazing upside – we are seeing things today that would have never been thought possible 50 years (maybe even 10 years ago).  In fact the overall progress that’s been made is nothing short of staggering.

    In fact it’s mindblowing!

    Want some proof?  Check out these 2 videos a couple of friends recently shared as great examples of amazing things that are going on.

    I don’t have a  jetpack yet – but maybe by 2020 I will!

    Imagine 2020…1/5 of the way through the 21st century!  It’s only 10 short years from now, but just think about the astounding changes that have happened in the last 10 years! 

    Facebook didn’t exist 10 years ago.  Wireless phones could access the internet…kind of…if you were willing to wait a long time and didn’t care what it looked like.  You still had to go out to a video store if you wanted to watch a movie…and it wouldn’t be high def!

    But where will you…and your business be in ten years?

    The really fun thing about kids is that they have the confidence that they can do anything.  They want to believe in the fantastical – that Harry Potter spends his school years at Hogworts, that Percy Jackson has a pen that turns into a magical sword for monster killing.  That they can explore the world, find new horizons and create amazing new things!

    I think they’re right.

    I remember reading science fiction when I was a kid (I know – the nerdiness started early…) and imagining all of the fantastic technology that would be out there in a few short years – we still don’t have flying cars yet, but I think mobile phones, electric cars, flying suits, GPS systems and the Wii would all qualify as incredible innovations!

    The point is that we live in a time when people have the capabilities to create a business that can hit millions in revenue with little to no formal advertising (just some viral videos).  Yes these are dark days, but they are also great days to step up and make something happen.
