Alchemy of Ideas

Here’s a little video on the Alchemy of Ideas.  Hopefully this will shed some light on why Intellectual Property law does not care about your idea – only what you’ve DONE with your idea to bring it into the word and share it with the rest of us.

Granted, I still have a lot of improvement to make on the video technical – lighting, sound, visuals, etc.  Stick with me.  I hope to polish up the technical as quickly as I can.

Comments Welcome.

Why Creative Business?

I just got back from a short hike with Tobin and Merrick (5 and 3).  I took along Deepak Chopra’s little book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (you can find that in my Amazon widget at the right) and within a few minutes was inspired to write a few lines…

I’m calling this a “Creative Manifesto”

1. The purpose of life is to create – or at least co-create with God and our fellow humans.

2. In order to fulfill this purpose we need:

  • Some freedom from worry about the hand-to-mouth burdons of living – some material weath. We can’t be expected to be creative and fulfill our full potential when we’re starving or homeless.
  • Time to be creative (which is maybe part of the above discussion).
  • Confidence and the Self-esteem/image to share our creations in the face of potential criticism.
  • Knowledge (personal or through a team) to enable us to have the freedom and prosperity that provides that time and confidence to create and share our creations.

This is what many lawyers do – provide the space, time, and confidence for people to find and fulfill their creative potential.
