I originally wrote this post several months ago and it’s taken me this long to remove the excess emotion and get it to a point I thought it was ready to post. I still don’t know if it’s ready but I feel it needs to be said.

The only thing you should be doing

I don’t care if you hate your job! I don’t care if you lost your job!

I don’t care if the stock market drops to 60! (Probably should but I don’t)

I really don’t care what some reporter thinks of the market. (I quit watching the news)

I only care about what YOU & I are going to do about it! (Because let me tell you a secret, we are the only ones that can fix this mess.)

The only thing you can do is shut up and innovate. If whining about it makes you feel better then fine. Whine, but keep it to yourself and when you’re done get back to innovating.

Your new job is to innovate in *every* aspect of your life. Don’t do things better (because the things we’ve been doing don’t work anymore) do them differently.

Unemployed? Innovate in your desired field and create a company that employs others.

Still employed? Don’t put your head down and do your job better because better isn’t enough.

Don’t wait for your boss to give you permission. Innovate now!

Don’t wait for the budget (there is none). Innovation is free.

Have the next great idea but don’t have the time? Innovate around time management.

Have the next great idea but don’t have the money? Innovate how to do it with little/no money. (You don’t even have to innovate there lots of people have done it before.)

If at any point you read something in this post that made you think about how this didn’t apply to you or because you have some special circumstance, you can’t be innovative, start over from the top and read it slower this time.
