Hard work? Yeah. Hitting that record button on the camera and letting someone else speak must be some grueling labor. Then they gotta hit stop, and upload it to youtube. Its like a sweatshop lol.

I want to form a sort-of super-group of idea entrepreneurs and change the world….who is in? I have a habit of getting new ideas out of nowhere, and in my dreams and sometimes when I wake up from a nap a new idea will randomly pop in my skull. I love new ideas and think this world needs more of them.

I guess the hard part of this advice is letting go of 'my idea' to let it swim with other idea's.

Oh yeah… busybodies, opinion leaders, leaders… Word promoters are NOT creating ideas, however.
