What’s in My Glass? It’s Not a Liquid

By on June 5, 2007 in Brain Stew with 3 Comments

Both Terry (the originator) and Drew (the bartender) have asked me "What’s in Your Glass?"

Here’s how this is working:

  1. How full is your glass?
  2. What kind of glass is it?
  3. What’s in the glass?
  4. Reasons for above.

Telling everyone my cup is filled with Panera coffee would surprise no one. So let’s look at this differently:

Boat

  1. My glass is often full, but the contents often evolve.
  2. A glass-bottom boat. It allows us to see things from a different perspective. Even those that aren’t comfortable on water can experience the wonders of the sea.
  3. Others (it’s even the name of the boat)
  4. Everyone is invited along for the ride. We eliminate those that don’t care about others – and while it’s tempting to throw them over, we wait until we dock.

How about yourself? How full is your glass? Tell us on your site and link back to Terry’s original post (above).

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    Yes, I can see your views on this post. My glass has evolved A GREAT DEAL since 1999, particulary since 2005.
    Your remark on seeing a different prespective reminded me of whether a person thinks differently more than just once or twice. How about deciding to go down a different road in business because you are not having any impact doing business as it is traditionally done?
    Glasses hold liquids. Sometimes it can break, you have to clean it up and go and find another one or two or three etc. It can be collected, made into almost anything. That is alot like me.
    Sometimes glass can improve your vision.
    I think about other people in many quiet and sometimes small ways, although I do not publicize it. I always try to help them. I hope you do too.

    Mike, well done! I knew that you’d very creatively approach this, and you didn’t disappoint. I love the glass bottom boat analogy. We all need that different perspective! All the best.
