Most ideas don’t just come out of thin air. They’re the result of knowledge and experience in a special line of work.

When you work in a certain field, you learn about what works and what doesn’t. Entrepreneurs in that field are able to take what they know about what doesn’t work and come up with new ideas to fix those problems.

For example, take a look at Noca. This company was founded by ex-Visa employees to fix the problems with credit card transaction fees. Coming up with good ideas is nothing special; it just takes a little knowledge and a little insight.

I’ve always wanted to write a book. Not a novel or tall tale, but something in nonfiction.

Writing a fictional book is one thing. Writing a book that will educate or help other people is another and I think that’s what interests me the most. Blogging kind of gives you that opportunity to dip your toe into the world of publishing and it can be a lot of fun.

If there’s something you’re passionate about, I say go ahead and write a book about it. Let other people know about your passion and you might be able to make a difference in someone’s life.

Sorry about the outages lately.

I recently upgraded to a new hosting provider, SliceHost, and it turned out to be a larger learning curve than expected getting everything set up perfectly. However, you’ll be happy to know that the website should be a bit snappier now and much more reliable.

Let me know if you run into any problems!

I wanted to take a minute to thank Jessica, my guest blogger, for her last post on weirdness. Hopefully she’ll be willing to come back soon and do it again

Thanks Jess!

Look forward to talking to you soon!
