Running this up the flagpole

You may know that I like the podcast Motivation on the Run and its host Larry Hendrick. Larry, like myself, was just ‘working for The Man’, enjoying what he does. Well, MotR’s weekly shows have been less consistent lately, but with good reason. Larry has stopped working for The Man and has started his own venture.

Larry is now selling state and US flags at www.flagsbay.com. It’s front page is actually a blog titled the Daily Flag, which is off to a great start with appropriate content. The flag store itself is a WordPress plug-in that Larry has promised to tell us more about. As simple as the site is, it is well executed, I think.

I share this with you for two reasons:

Shameless plug:
I think his risky step forward deserves some Page-Rank 6 love from b2blog.com.

Inspiration:
Am I the only one who looks at the web trying to think of a winning business, then realize that someone has probably done it already, or other ‘reality checks’?

Larry just steps ahead and launches anyway with a simple product that certainly has competition. Its the execution that counts, as Seth recently admonished: “The hard part is actually executing the thing you’ve thought of.”

So even without a podcast to listen to this week, I still am feeling motivated. Thanks, Larry, and best wishes on FlagsBay.com!

  3. Good thought, that gets me to thinking (somewhat 🙂 ), Dave! We need to go for it, even if we think it may not all be there yet(?). That’s the nature of things anyhow. Change is a constant.

  5. Larry–Your welcome.

    Ted–You’re right…how do you jump on a moving train? When is the ‘right time’?
