  • A comment on Conversation: Too many ideas lead us to lack of focus and too many successful examples leave us rather frustrated (and/or envious!)

    Dec 1 2011: I have a friend who hosted an event called the Idea Adoption Agency. It was an open invitation for people with ideas that they never followed-through on to share those ideas with people who might want to take them and run with them. I was unable to attend as this was in Montreal and I'm in New York, but I thought it was a great way for people to dust off old ideas and see them get some love. Of course, you have to be able to let go of your sense of "ownership" of those ideas, which can be hard to do. But if you have a great idea that you think deserves the chance to come to fruition and you just aren't able to get it there yourself, I think allowing someone to "adopt" it is a great solution.
