Ripples v10.21: Do!
May 26, 2008: a free weekly splash to 19,433 subscribers

The critical ingredient is
getting off your butt and doing something.
It's as simple as that.
A lot of people have ideas,
but there are few who decide
to do something about them now.
Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today.
The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.

Many of us are still enjoying the holiday weekend and avoiding work, and of course I celebrate that. I encourage you to take the rest of today to relax and kick back. Starting tomorrow, however, I dare you to jump up, get to work or school, choose a project that needs to be tackled, and DO. Think of the next 5 days, or 5 hours, or even 5 minutes as a most valuable and precious opportunity to move away from "thinking about it" and zoom towards becoming a DOer!
I dedicate this issue of Ripples to Marvin Becker, 1942-2008, who was most definitely a DOer. I was glad to know you, Marv, and I promise I will stop thinking about learning how to play sheephead and just DO it!
Peace,
Paul

Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
(by Seth Godin)
This guy is one of my favorite creative thinkers. This very purple book suggests that if we spend more time creating WOW in our products/services we need fewer dollars to market them because people TALK about remarkable stuff! He really makes risk taking seem safer.
