The Difference Between Ideas and Doing

A few years back, I knew a guy who always had a great idea up his sleeve. He’d share these ideas with anyone that was in his company, and tell of his grand plans for when his ideas made him rich. They would invariably involve Salma Hayek, a yacht and six months at sea… Everyone smiled and asked him not to forget us when he was rich and famous. After all, we were the sounding boards for his ideas and…read more

Because You Need To

A lot of questions often get the same answer. Why do I need to be on social media? Because you need to. Why do I need to blog? Because you need to. Why do I need to make videos as a promotional tool?

Companies would be filled with drones, businesses would be drab affairs, and artists would be virtually non-existent. We wouldn’t have videos like the one below, either, and that would be a shame. Taking a fantastical look at the cityscape of Toronto, the video shows…read more

The Problem with Thought Leadership

I have a problem with the term “thought leader”. According to Dictionary.com, “leader” is described this way: – noun a person or thing that leads. a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group. We all know what a thought is, so no real need to go to a dictionary for that. So, put the two of them together to get thought leader, and we’re basically saying someone that leads an army just by their thoughts alone. Since we’re not living in The Matrix yet, this is where my problem with…read more
