Does anybody out there in Internet land watch the Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch? I simply love that show, and simply hate the fact that the downward spiral of the American economy has sort of shifted the focus of the show from helping people identify, cultivate and set their individual pursuit of their Big Idea or business dream into motion, to focusing on the financial chaos and negative economic reverberations that have impacted a lot of people particularly small and medium size businesses (SMBs). As a matter of fact, the last time that I watched the show, nearly one month ago, Donnie D. and his crew of all-star panelists were trying to help those who live anywhere from State Street to Main Street America make sense of the economic turmoil that has emanated from Wall Street.
Obviously, this is a noble endeavor, but I guess I am a bit selfish these days. Quite simply, I want the Big Idea to be the Big Idea--a place I used to go to smile, laugh, nod, dream and cheer for those who are farther down the entrepreneurial path than me. To sum it all up in the simplest way that I can, watching Donnie D. and his panel of guests talk business and entrepreneurial strategy was like taking a free (well, almost free) Entrepreneur's Tele-course. Every night I used to sit down for class absorbing every bit of new information and knowledge that I could from that show. And when I couldn't watch it--well, the DVR was programmed to take notes for me. And yet, perhaps that greatest thing that I loved most about the Big Idea was that it was such a great source of motivation; most of the time, I walked away from the television at the conclusion of the show feeling pumped, charged up and reinvigorated . . . ready for action!So, Donnie, if you are out there . . . yawl come back now--you hear. Have a wonderful day or night folks and start working on your Big Idea.
