What’s the Big Idea?

What’s the big idea?

I heard that phrase a lot growing up.

It was a way to question, “what are you doing?” or “What were you thinking?”

Now, when I say it, I literally mean, “What’s the big idea today?”

I told you, I practice writing down 10 ideas a day so I can train my brain to solve problems on demand.

Some days, it’s easier than others.

A lot of times, I’m thinking about money, I’m thinking about revenue, and cost.

I’m thinking about family, and kids, and plans.

I’m thinking about beer, and the day ahead of me.

Sometimes, I’m thinking about more sleep, which is my body’s way of telling me I’m pushing hard and it’s time to rest.

It’s hard to rest when you have Big Ideas.

I have so much to say, and I want it out in the world now.

Like the mountain bike trail in Pine Bluff. It’s going to take 6 months before that could be a go.

Yet today, the weather is good, but cold. It would be a great day to explore the area where I want the trail built, a great day to grab a coffee with the head of the grant writing committee, and a good day to start negotiations on the land purchase.
