Just Give Up, OK?

Hope Is Free
Hope Is Free

How often do you feel like giving up?  Like quitting? Like what you do doesn’t matter? That the effort is too much, the payoff too little?

Received an email today. Compelled to share it.  And it wasn’t from a blog conversation, but a LinkedIn connection.

We connected, like people do, and I sent a personal message, like I always try to do, mentioning, “I am selling hope, and it’s free.”

He sent back a reply, which was a little confusing, so I asked for clarification.  He said:

“I mean it’s about putting it out there.  My dad’s quote (and every dad’s?) – You’ll only get out of life what you put in …Keep selling hope – we all need it.”

Did you catch that?  What his Dad always told him?

“You’ll only get out of life what you put in.”

I Wonder What You Said

Can't Wait To Get Started!
Can't Wait To Get Started!

Hello everyone. Are you still excited about 2010?  Were you lying in your bed this morning wondering, “When is that alarm clock ever going to go off? Just bring it on!”

Funny isn’t?  Or maybe it’s crazy. Can you imagine having something you can’t wait to get started on?

And so, I just re-read the big question from yesterday.

“How are you doing with your impossible goal?”

Facebook Privacy

What The?
What The?

Facebook.

Privacy.

Social norms.

Founder, CEO, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook claims Privacy is no longer a social norm.

He’s right, but people older than 30 have their heads in the sand.  If you are an entrepreneur, I’d read this article, reflect on it and figure out a way to stay current.

This issue opportunity is changing the Internet, which changes everything else.

PS.  This is the second post today.  Scroll down for the first.
