Top of Mind Thursday January 4, 2018: Green and Growing

Top of Mind Thursday

On Tuesday, California joined the growing number of states including Oregon and jurisdictions that allow recreational sales of marijuana.

Estimates are that first year sales of legal cannabis-related products will exceed $3.8 billion, growing to over $5 billion in 2019. Add in 34% in taxes at the local and state levels. That’s a lot of green!

Initial sales will be through dispensaries already set up for medical marijuana sales, as local municipalities determine how best to regulate new entries to the marketplace. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs are contemplating businesses to support this new opportunity.

The transformation from shunned to stunning over a relatively short time period has been incredible. But the ability to take a new potential opportunity and monetize it in new and creative ways is not surprising–it’s what we do as Americans.

What intriguing nascent opportunities as lurking in your business environment? Are you prepared to act on changing rules and regulations, or evolving consumer demands? Will you be ready to take your business to new highs?

Top of Mind Thursday December 28, 2017: Regeneration

Top of Mind Thursday

If you’re a fan of the long-running BBC sci-fi series Dr. Who, you know that Christmas is the time when the infamous doctor often regenerates–morphing from one physical manifestation to another.

The last week of the year is often a time for relaxation, a review of the last 12 months, and a change to recharge the batteries before hitting 2018 at full speed. But too often we return from our well-deserved winter breaks to pick up exactly where we left off. We take on the same old projects, the same issues and challenges, and the same old approach to work and to life.

If even a time lord like The Doctor needs to regenerate every so often, what about us mere mortals?

Perhaps this is the year when  you will be regenerating into a new and different form. If so, I wish you luck with your new adventure, whatever it might be. Or, if you are like most of us, you regenerate a little at a time, every single day. I’ve been looking into forex trading, which is something that’s entirely new to me, but definitely an area I’d be willing to venture into. Luckily for us newbies, tools like the QProfit system exist to make things easy. I’ll let you know how it goes.

The key is to keep growing and adapting to the ever-changing world around us–and to be a force for positive change.

As we approach the new year, I wish you a happy and healthy 2018, filled with prosperity, peace, and possibility.
