"According to all known laws of aviation, there's no way a bee should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to lift its fat little body off the ground. The bee of course flies anyway - because bees don't care what humans think is impossible". ~ The Bee Movie

How many time have you told yourself you won't be able to do ABC? ABC being the plethora of new ideas you have for yourself or business. How many times have you been told an idea you've had for a new hobby or business was not likely to 'work' due to some kind of garbage input?

If the bee listened to any of our 'scientific' findings it would certainly take a hell of a lot longer for them to pollinate our crops and make our gardens lovely year after year. Not to mention HONEY! Not having that lovely bi-product of all their buzzing around would make my tea lifeless and boring.

So what ideas have you for a new business that you talk yourself out of? What new paths for your existing business are you shutting down because of this very same thinking? Do you realize by saying NO or being told no to these ideas that you are depriving a person of their honey?

Take Walt Disney for example he was fired by a newspaper editor because he "lacked imagination". Well we all know what he did with that input. Vera Wang is another interesting story, she failed to make the U.S. Skating Team so became an editor at Vogue but was passed over the Editor-In-Chief position. Having been passed over enough she started designing wedding dresses and has now amassed a business which boasts over 1 billion in earnings.

What business processes are not working for you but you're too scared to change them up? Perhaps you have an idea to increase profits by taking your business options online and into the hands of your customers. Are you overworked and in need of software for your business that would make your life easier? Whatever the scenario all of these ideas have value.

So be like a bee my friend; ignore the voices and FLY!
