In-Ni-vation

January 30th, 2006

For a long time now I have found that my entrepreneurial spirit is being driven partly by enjoyment, and partly because I have no other choice. The fact that I am eaking out a living working a full time job and that I am generally discontent with my situation is forcing me to work out a way to reach financial freedom. In my world, it is a necessity that I innovate to better my position. This is not an old concept, but it’s a strong theme in my life at the moment.

I recently watched the start of a cult movie called “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. At the start a knight rides over a hill pretending to ride a fake horse while his loyal servant “Patsy” is clopping away two halves of a coconut to sound as though the knight were riding a real horse. While watching this I couldn’t help but think that they may have been on a tight budget and found creative ways such as this to save on costs. It’s creative and funny to watch, and it also leads on to some great dialog.
