The Million Dollar Idea...

Miniature Indoor Garden


Story # 69, O T


      Back in our Grove City College days, a bunch of my fraternity brothers and I would have late night sessions where we brainstormed what great idea would bring us fame and fortune ------Well, mostly fortune.


      As far as I know none of us ever came up with the million dollar idea.


      What we were too naive to know then was that the idea is the easy part.  Execution is the hard part.


      In case you do have some idea that you are sure will work, you may want to go to www.Udacity.com and look at their free course on how to build a start-up business.  It will save you a lot of time doing the wrong things.


      I read that Intuit, the QuickBooks Company, gave an employee a million dollars for devising a product that turned into a 400 million dollar business.


      Where in the plant world is there a parallel story?


      Are indoor Miniature Gardens the next million dollar idea?


      Or will Sinningia ‘Li’l Georgie’, one of the world’s smallest flowering houseplants, be the next million dollar idea?


      Nobody knows.
