Stand Up in The Boat!

When someone stands up in the boat, everyone else shouts, “Sit down! You’re rocking the boat!” Why? Because when the boat is rocked in any group, company, partnership, or creative project, people have to wake up, snap out of it, and start making things happen! And when things start happening, choices and decisions have to be made. And when decisions are made, forward motion accelerates, and often, extraordinary results are produced.

Important because when our big ideas or impossible projects are just floating along in still waters, waiting for something to happen, perhaps it’s time to stand up in the boat and cause something to happen! Not like a clever metaphor, more like a sensible next step.
