Once you have that idea in your head and are ready to make it successful and profitable, let me help you with my IMPACT process, where you follow a step by step approach to implementing those terrific ideas.

Maybe I will, and maybe I won't.
Maybe I do, and maybe I don't.
If I'm to take action, I'll have to decide;
Commit to a choice to which I must abide.

So I shouldn't quit my day job and become a poet laureate?
 
I introduce to you, "may". It's an interesting word in the context of ideas.

I did some research and found out the following trivia about the word may.

How’s It Going With YOUR Idea? Re-Focus and Revise for Real Results, Real Soon

April 10, 2013 by Sylvia Henderson · Leave a Comment 

You have great ideas and good intentions. You've been busy being busy, yet are you seeing progress with bringing your ideas to reality? Do you have a PROCESS you can apply to your ideas that ensures you take focused action for profitable implementation? Apply a collaborative discovery and accountability process to your ideas to get clear about, create (or renew) your strategy for, implement, and be accountable to your ideas whether they are business-related, organization-influenced, or personal.

I presented this 60-minute program last week for Small Business CEO members at the Smartly Spaced offices near Baltimore, MD to help them re-focus and revise their January intentions not yet achieved by now. It was part of a half-day, collaborative professional development program with Sharon Green ("Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life") and Mary Cate Claudias ("How to Get Your To-Do List, DONE") being the other presenters. Our overall program was called "Revitalize, Stay Energized, & Get Organized" and the feedback we received was that the timing was perfect for resetting goals, ideas, and plans as we enter the second quarter of the year.
 
Grab a cup, pull out your ideas from the beginning of the year, and watch my program recording HERE. Re-focus and revise your intentions for real results, real soon to stay in action.
 
Also…join me on April 16, 10am-1:30pm, at Norbeck Country Club for my hands-on intensive where you can actually work on your renewed idea or plans, in real time, and collaborate with others in a live event setting. There are three webinars that are part of this program, also, called "Over-Thinking & Under-Doing: I've Got to Finally Get Things Done!". Click the link for details and registration.

Decisions, Decisions: It’s Idea Madness!

March 26, 2013 by Sylvia Henderson · Leave a Comment 

“March Madness” is the period of the annual NCAA college basketball tournament, with the majority of the competition set in March. Fans and followers use a visual chart as a decision tool to track team plays and statistics throughout the tournament. The tool identifies team pairings as brackets that show who plays whom at each stage of tournament progress. Such an organized chart is effective as a visual tool for keeping track of the details involved in deciding on which teams to focus as the winners of each round of play winnow down to the final championship team.

Idea Discovery – Website: We Rock Your Web

March 25, 2013 by Sylvia · Leave a Comment 

One of the most difficult aspects of putting our ideas into action is the time it takes to research tools available to us, and the overwhelming access to tools we can use. If we're technology immigrants rather than technology natives, then implementing our ideas using technology is overwhelming in and of itself.

Look Back to Move Forward

March 10, 2013 by Sylvia · Leave a Comment 

You are more certain to succeed with implementing your ideas when you develop a strategy for doing so. One way to determine your implementation strategy is to work backwards.

Determine your end result – what does your world look like when your idea is fully implemented? Then work backwards, identifying milestones along the way that must be in place in order for the next milestone to take place.
