The Ideas Economy

Welcome to the Ideas Economy! Also commonly called the Information Age, the Knowledge Era, the Post-Industrial Society, the New Economy and many other similar coins of phrase.

They all mostly refer to the same thing… We’ve made the move from using heavy machinery to earn our living to thinking for our food. We used to be farmers, then factory workers and we’re now all pedalling ideas.

Think about what you currently do on a daily basis… How do you create, share, mould or sell ideas? Simply put, how much you earn is dependent on what you do with the ideas in your head. And, this is what we’ll be exploring in future blog posts.

To get started and create your benchmark, rate yourself on this basic question:

Are you making the most of your ideas?

Zero = hopelessly no, Ten = magnificently well
