Ignite talk how dare you not be awesome

Editor's Notes

  1. This talk is why you have a personal, moral imperative to just. be. awesome. Self-doubt is actually kinda Selfish (You’re cheating us!) There is something in you yet to be done, and every time you put yourself down, put it off or doubt your ability to make it happen, it doesn’t happen. Rinse. Repeat.
  2. This talk is why you have a personal, moral imperative to just. be. awesome. Self-doubt is actually kinda Selfish (You’re cheating us!) There is something in you yet to be done, and every time you put yourself down, put it off or doubt your ability to make it happen, it doesn’t happen.
  3. … and an even WORSE decisionmaker. Don’t base choices on fear. Ever.
  4. Love, on the other hand, can move mountains. Themeword: Audacious Themeword: Love
  5. http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonlightbulb/3338852116/ Awesome is NOT a private street. It’s not just your business whether you’re awesome or not
  6. Our friends in boston -- 10,12 ordinary dudes -- kick in $100 a head a month, and issue grants for awesome projects. A cotton candy gun that can coccoon a human being in 3 minutes. A gigantic hammock to 40 people on Boston Common. Data visualizations…
  7. Even on the blogs at Harvard Business Review, we’ve got serious scholars talking about how awesome is changing business. How awesome is changing economies.
  8. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cygnus921/2678359760/
  9. Or what your app can become. Don’t hold back. Don’t drive by looking in the rearview mirror.
  10. These are the specific ways that microsharing can build VALUE for your business. Value can be baked in right from the beginning. Even if you’re “just experimenting” don’t go in blindly. Listen, come up with some ideas and test them. Find ways to do existing business processes that take advantage of the qualities of these new channels.
