Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

We`ve had similar topics before, but this one is a bit different.

I`ll let you in on a little StartupNation team meeting insight ...

Rich Sloan has challenged all of us on the StartupNation team to identify the one thing at which we can the best in the world, and then figure out a way to do that thing in our daily activity.

Now I`m passing along that challenge to the StartupNation community. I`m even limiting the definition to 5 words or less. Pare it down & be focused & succinct.

I`ll start. Here`s mine:

Building a Vibrant Online Community.

I believe I can be the best in the world at this and I endeavor every day to reach that goal. I prioritize my day with activities that allow me to pursue that goal. If an activity doesn`t support that goal, it needs to be replaced.

We all - each of us - have unique & special gifts that, if fostered and focused upon, could make us the best in the world. What`s yours?

Inspiring children

I often joke that I must have been given some kind of `children energy`  that even children who claim to be shy, introvert would easily open up to me. For that, I have loved being as a teacher, being as a parent, being as a CASA (volunteers who work with children from abused families) and now in the process to develop a chidlren related business. 

(and thank you, Joel, for building this vibrant online community for all of us. Have you ever sit down and count the number of people who have benefit from your hard work?!)

Life isn`t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Innovating experiences through design

I have always been an artist but my talent goes beyond technical skill. My
rampant creativity has given me the opportunity to apply those skills in
new, exciting ways. I am thankful for that. And I too try to prioritize my
schedule to support these goals.

Also a hats-off to Joel. I say it`s vibrant already!

A better, mother, daughter, friend

By being a better person today, than I was yesterday.

Defining words.

Took me 40 years to figure that out, but it turned out that`s what I do best. Although cooking runs a close second...! :-)

hmm ... is this too lofty of a challenge?

Are entrepreneurs not boldly confident enough to make such a proclamation?

Only 4 responses so far. Are you all just thinking about what it is? And later you`ll come back with your answer?

Let`s change the tenor of this conversation a bit. New updated challenge:

"At what can you be the best in your town/neighborhood?"

Here`s an example ... my local Starbucks coffee maker person needs to have the best short term memory on the block in order to crank out mocha after cappuccino after chai tea.

Can we use this discussion to get us thinking toward the idea of Excellence in what we do?

Joel -

In response to the original challenge:

Connecting people and ideas - uniquely.

In this case uniquely means in ways that most others might not consider.
