Comments on: The Entrepreneur’s Plague http://www.toddero.com/2009/05/the-entrepreneurs-plague/ Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:51:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mutitu http://www.toddero.com/2009/05/the-entrepreneurs-plague/comment-page-1/#comment-444 Mutitu Sat, 29 Aug 2009 10:12:15 +0000 http://www.toddero.com/?p=81#comment-444 As I read this I could visualize you thinking about your thinking as it relates to this entry. let me assure you that this (thinking your way) is as innate a talent as rolling your tongue inwards or outwards, only a chosen few can do it :). Wonder no more about the streams of consciousness gushing forth from thine head..It hath been willed to be!! Your reflection on your entrepreneurial practices resembles, in my opinion, that of a teaching/mentor/facilitator etc. than a hardcore business man (with all the generalizations that come with that title). By that I mean that your satisfaction in your craft, as I understand you say, stems from the actualization of your vision, by whomever is most capable and expedient at that time. Not that you couldn't do it yourself, perhaps even with greater success, but to see another succeed in a venture is authentically more fulfilling. So while you and the hardcore business man are in the same field and the ultimate end results of your ventures may be similar, your underlying drives and motivations to do well and stay in it may vary. Once you have thought out your ideas or at least planted a seed somewhere, you are ready to hand it over as you move on to the next thought. This seems to be more true of the little I know of your dealings... Mmmmm...okay, let me revise what I had said earlier, your reflections seem similar to those of a teacher/facilitator/etc. of an independent study project with some self motivated, self-starter, critical thinking adherents to work with :) As I read this I could visualize you thinking about your thinking as it relates to this entry. let me assure you that this (thinking your way) is as innate a talent as rolling your tongue inwards or outwards, only a chosen few can do it :).

I do believe in synchronicity, which an old friend drilled into my head years ago. Ideas are always mashups of something that already exists, and with over 6 billion minds around the world, I'm sure we run into similar thoughts all the time. A lot of scientific discoveries have had the synchronous experience, halfway around the world. But on the point of action vs strategic thinking, I teeter totter with both sides a lot and when in action, I lose sight of the big picture. But with thinking, I also feel like I am wasting time because I'm not taking action. Catch-22. I need somebody to smack me when I'm off balance. Unfortunately, that somebody is Mike, and he's only available at nights and weekends, times that I'd rather just hang with him and lazy out. The plague is constant Dr. Interesting Thoughts Toddicusero!
