Operation Bigger Idea
I'm having an amazing time out here in Vancouver this week. (Did I say that I was in Vancouver? Because I am.) The work with my client is going really well and even though it turned out to be WAY more work than we anticipated, I think there is a reasonable shot of getting it mostly completed by the time I leave on Saturday.
I'm also really enjoying my Big Idea summer interns who have turned out to be firecrackers. I can't give them assignments fast enough and my clients are amazed at my ability to turnaround projects in record time. I think I might even be figuring out how to be a good manager--although I suppose that is up for debate.
All of this activity makes me think that I might like to be more of a typical CEO, managing the strategic direction of the Big Idea, rather than the worker bee actually doing the day-to-day tasks that for the last two years have completely consumed me.
As I sit here, working late into the evening, I would like to believe that this is the start of a new phase of the Big Idea, one with long term potential to develop into a Bigger Idea. A Bigger Idea that will make me rich. Or at least, a Bigger Idea that will make me enough money to afford a really fancy desk chair.

I think you should model your management style after Alec Baldwin's character on "30 Rock." Just talk about "Kaizen" and "Value Based Six Sigma" and your businees peeps will be wowed.
