Are you ready for this - Pay attention now.... "Idea Diffusion"

Ladies and Gentlemen. I've got the iPhone thing out of my system, or more to the point, fully integrated into my system, so now it's back to the super important stuff. The title of this post contains the two most important words regarding your success in life. I'm sorry, but it's true. I hope none of you are out there looking for that deep elusive answer to the question "what is the meaning of life?" - Yeah that's pretty much a no-win-forever-recirculating loop that will drive you crazy.

On to the meat and potatoes- IDEA DIFFUSION. Not my term, but I will tout its importance and evangalize it as if Moses brought it down on the stone scriptures himself ( oh by the way, 10 commandments = idea diffusion - dramatically done in pre-cpu days). Anyways, think about it, anything you do, want to become, or desire to achieve depends on idea diffusion. You want someone to think you a sure shot for that promotion? - you must get the idea out there that you are. You want to start your own business? - better spread the value (idea) of your business. You want to change the world (YES!)?- Then you better be really good at diffusing your idea and getting people to buy in. There are countless illustrations which I could make, but I'll let you kiddies apply the framework to your own situation. Now- if you haven't checked the video out, do so. It's short, sweet, and right on. If you have seen the video, ( then you skipped to the good part: smart thinking) - get out there; find something you love and capture some mind share.
