I presented on Saturday as the closing keynote at the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization. This is one of my favorite events to present at…Imagine 1400 entrepreneurial minded college students from hundreds of colleges all in one room wanting to build businesses? If that does not inspire you, I am not sure what does. It is a great anecdote to the doom and gloom of the economy these days.

Every student there wants the opportunity to create their own enterprise. They have so many ideas and so much enthusiasm, that I have not doubt in the long run that they will succeed.

I added something to the keynote this time. We threw 10 big world bounce balls into the audience and asked them to bounce! As they hit the ball in the air, I asked them to think about letting go of something that was preventing them from moving forward….10 balls, 1400 students, 1 big ball room? – it was an incredible site!
