What Are Your $10,000 Ideas?
Many of you have attended our free live events recently and we’ve gotten extraordinary feedback and wonderful ‘thank-you’s. We want to thank you in return, because you really made the events special for us. We both believe that the greatest gift we can give is to help unlock the door to freedom, and your decision to spend an evening with us allowed us to engage in what matters most to us.
We are always looking for new ways of thinking about and talking about an entrepreneur’s most important issues. As a quick recap, we had a really interesting conversation about where business values lies. We explored three different entreprenueral mindsets and took a look at where we were on each continuum. We talked about the benefit of a deliberate word-of-mouth campaign and how it can really be a multiplier for your business. We talked about a way to get the people in your network really on your team and maybe even sending you clients in a way that feels good for everyone.
We’re especially passionate about working with extraordinary entrepreneurs like you, so we will continue to hold more free events like the one you came to. We want to know what’s been impacting you most and what you’d like to hear from us in the future. We also find that a moment of reflection can really make a difference in how well you integrate anything you wanted to make sure to do differently in your life, so take a second and answer these three questions. We’ll personally reply to any questions you post!

My $10,000 idea involves procuring and transporting pianos to the playa.
I think the ideas are meant to *earn* you 10 grand, not *cost* 10 grand!
Still a good idea, though, Timmy!
I think this is an excellent approach for short-medium term goal setting, may work against relationship building if one “filters” pre-emptively; others are much less willing to come forward, especially in worlds where “relationship building” need to be prioritised. Depends on how flat (or levelled) the corporate hierarchy is.
The longest lasting relationships are often built by accomplishing something together – by a collaborative success.
The difference between short-term and long-term thinking is a difference in which promises and requests you make, not how much information sharing is present…
The difference between short-medium term logistics and longer term strategy is that some successes can only be “evolved & discovered”. This point alone is one of the corner stone that determines Joint Venture successes or failure between Western MNE and China’s emergent markets. Information is one of the most powerful trading currency in the old & ancient worlds…the less info you share of “value”, the less trust or relationship there is to build….e.g. Europe’s model in RM is based on a Scandinavia model of “mutual maintenance”. Scandinavia is still one of the few countries in the world to have Made Net positive macroeconomic trade with China.
I think you are talking about meetings with very different premises. The Wednesday afternoon meeting at fleet maintenance is very different to the meetings required to align possible partners across continents, area of expertise, etc. And there is a large grey zone in between…
$10,000 idea was to start a luggage shipping company called luggageahead.com. People could enjoy hassle free traveling by having their luggage (golf clubs, skis, ect) waiting for them at their hotel.
More fully embracing the mindset of “Moving towards decision” has been really impactful for me and my team. My business is very data intensive, and there is a tendency to get excited about analysis, a new report or what we learned, but that does not equal progress unless decisions are explicitly made. Since your last talk in NYC, I have been on a decision rampage, and our momentum is palpable.
