In my teenage years I grew up on a farm in Ontario. As life proceeded I began to have ideas. Today after 40 years of business and trades activity I arrive with a philosophy that finds its soul in the concepts of nature and growth.
An idea is born in the subconcious mind.
Most times, in balance with the universal theory of branching patterns the same idea is born in different places by different people within a very close proximity of the same time.
Time is both friend and enemy to an idea.
The seeding of an Idea is the easy part, if your heart is into it. But, then comes the next part, what type of soil or liquid do you plant in and at what level of nutrient supply do you feed your idea. What weather wil affect your idea, economic storms are not to be ignored.
These factors are some of the points where many ideas do not survive through to germination.
They may be just scribbled absently on spare paper or in some efforts an offcial entry into a valued journal. However the realities of life see many of these ideas pass back into the ether to await the next circle of life.
An idea whose time has come is not often realised after germination as the costs for its upkeep out strip the belief of the creator.
Ideas require work, but how to work an idea is the quest of those that imagine their bright and happy future.
In today's global commodity market for ideas there are so many options to secure funding and the trick to getting yourself noticed will fall to a few basic guidelines.
Much like tilling the soil or filtering the water we must prepare for the idea's planting then proceed to refine the idea and then as it grows we follow through with the work that will reveal the forecast for a harvest.
If from learned practice we apply the right amount of resources at the right time then the idea should grow to become a healthy part of life.
Over the years with over 100 projects under my belt I can bring the kind of Idea Farming that will make a project a great joy to nurture and fruitful at harvest.
