What do you want out of life? Are you looking for success in business? Do you place a premium on being a successful parent or spouse? Is there an artistic achievement you want to complete - a novel, a painting - yet you’re afraid to attempt it because you might fail?

Back in the mid ’80s, I participated in the inaugural NSW Entrepreneur’s Workshop. The whole process, which lasted about 9 months involved forming a team, finding a product and taking it to market. Teams competed for prizes and there was a chance to compete on the world stage.
Back in those days, I worked in IT in a technical capacity and had no idea about marketing.
Our team was dominated by engineers (and I’m one), so in our search for a product, we spoke with lots of inventors, looking for the next big thing.

Barbara and I were ruminating about the old days. You know the ones. Where the Chef in a restaurant came out and greeted the diners and asked if you’d enjoyed the meal. And if you’ve never experienced this, maybe I’m showing my age 
How about the pre 9/11 days when airline pilots actually walked through the cabins and greeted the passengers. And if you were bold enough, young enough, or lucky enough, you got to go up front and sit in the cockpit. Boy, try doing that now!
