"If you and I come up with the right business strategy today to get you where you want to go, what does that life look and feel like? What would you be doing on a day of work and a day of play?"....

I have had probably 3 or 4 conversations in the past week with this "start with the end in mind" kind of question. And I'm telling you about it right now because in the middle of each of those conversations I realized that I'd actually made one of my "end in mind" dreams come true and it feels truly worth celebrating and sharing.

I don't remember how old I was when I learned about Think Tanks. I was pretty young though - middle school...perhaps.

Since then it has been a dream of mine to be in a think tank. It sounds like the coolest job ever.
You get paid to be in a room with other brilliant folx to bounce ideas around and solve problems.
​
My whole life I've had what feels like endless explosions of ideas.
There have been large chunks of life where its felt a bit more like a disease than a gift. I can hear in the back of my mind whisperings that there's linguistic origin where gift and burden mean the same thing.
I wonder if I'm making that up. Feels real tho.
Greeks....Germans. It's usually one or the other yeah?

Anyhoodle. A few months ago I took a series of aptitude tests as part of a batch of "figure out who the eff you are, and what the eff you should do with your life" tools I'm getting certified in right now. And it turns out...cue the birthday kazoos of non surprise...(insert kazoo noises and telescoping paper spiral images) my top 2 aptitudes are Problem Solving and Brainstorming.
​
Ever since I took those tests back in January, I've had more people reach out to me asking for help brainstorming and figuring out their next moves in life and business. I love it so hard!
Businessing Brainstorming is legit something I've been doing for fun and money for, man, 20 years at least - what is time?...
​
Which essentially means I've been in mini Think Tanks with brilliant people like you this whole time. Sometimes I'm in mini and massive Think Tanks in my own mind, but that's another story.

And the thing is, I kept hoping and wondering when I'd get to be in a Think Tank. I kept seeing it as this far away, how the heck can I get there kind of thing, when it's quite literally what I get paid to do.
Ha. It seems I'm still made of peopley parts and have one of those "Minds" we're always talking about. Whoopsie.
​
I'm sharing this with you today just in case there's something you've always wanted or something you're currently striving for that's actually a lot closer than you think, or maybe even right effing here, right now.

Perhaps this tiny email nudge to peek around at your right now life with a bit more curiosity will help you to see it.
If you want help figuring out where the heck you are now, and where the heck "there" is and how to get there, I'm more than ready.
Honestly I've been waiting my whole life to be in a Think Tank with you.
