We gathered around the table last night at the Fellowship of Joy to study "Chasing Daylight" and do our Entrepreneur's Table study. I had assigned some dreaming and got more than I expected. The groupo came back with a big, really BIG dream. In fact, it was one that I had had and expaned.

It just goes to show you what can happen when you re;lease people with sanctified imaginations.

What Is Your Widget?

As an entrepreneur, you are peddling a big idea. It may be concrete or ethereal, but it is, nevertheless, real.

Can you explain it with enthusiasm, passion, and clarity? Can you describe your "widget" in a few sentences or 30 seconds? That may be all the time you have and you need to be ready.

Whether your widget" is the product of your mind or your hands, you need to be able to communicate "what it is" as with compelling brevity.

We are all selling something: ideas, products, services, ourselves.

There are three necessities in any form of selling and I have coined the terms.

We need digits, widgets, and fidgets.

Digits are about numbers. Some will; some won't; so what! So we need to do big numbers in getting our messages out.

Widgets are what we have to offer and it better be good.

Fidgets represent the n ervous energy and enthusiasm that just can't keep quite about what we have.
