The glass half full business conference

October 6, 2008 By

Are you depressed about the market? Well, just think of all that we have that costs nothing!

Here, Mitch Joel put together a whole conference for you. Costs nothing. Just grab a glass of wine and watch.

It reminded me of how much I love TED Talks. Watch the video of famous conductor Benjamin Zander, it’ll get your mood lifted.

After that, why don’t you visit the Library of Congress to see how they are saving our old photos and putting them onto Flickr for you to peruse. Don’t think social media matters to something as stodgy as the Library of Congress? Think again!

Our stocks might be worthless, but at least we have good free stuff to watch on the Internet.

That’s the “cup is half full” approach to life.

    Robert,

    Thanks for pointing out some simple yet enjoyable thins that can be found. Living in Florida offers all kinds of chances for things like walks on the beach, visits to local art works, historical areas, etc. Similar opportunities exist all over the country.

    Costs nothing? Just TED rehashes, bubble-bouncers playing narcissistic ego games, in guise of speeches. Time is money.

    Your cup isn’t half full – it’s just too big. Halve the size of your cup and it’s full again – problem solved.

    The glass is always half-full for entrepreneurs!

    In fact … a half empty galss is an opportunity to find a way to start filling it for others … and build a business doing it!

    Thanks for the link and recognition Robert. I appreciate it. The truth is that the idea was taken from Bryan Eisenberg over at GrokDotCom (as I state on the Blog). You can check out his OnClick conference here:
