It’s All Been Done Before: How to Turn Unoriginal Ideas Into Breakthroughs

Many of us want to start our own business, or practice, or even simply deliver value in a way that has never been delivered before. And the public arena we wish to venture into is filled with reports of new undertakings. These reports, however, tend to lean in one distinct direction. We mostly read about the trailblazers and pioneers who’ve pushed the boundaries of the market...

Super Bitesize Me

Do you remember Morgan Spurlock's social experiment where he offers himself up as a guinea pig and consumes only McDonald's food for an entire month, three meals a day? The benefits?
