Flipping Burger Innovation!!!
I learned a lot from my fast-food
job.
The business skills learned while working in a fast-food
environment ("super-size" in the
later part of the 20th Century) is like the entrepreneurial
skills learned while working as a paperboy
("get your paper here" in
the early part of the 20th Century).
Some people view working in fast-food
as an embarrassment, but what's wrong with learning how
to be efficient and how to up-sell?
Meatballs
I've made several different versions of meatballs.
This is definitely a mood-thing as well as a survey
of what's in the cupboard.
The fun is in actually making the meatballs;
this is clay you are allowed to eat (once cooked). You could
even turn the making of meatballs
into a competition of efficiency and quality.
But in terms of relationship-building, my son (aged 2)
and I have spent a couple of wee-hour morning meetings making
and taste-testing meatballs
while watching his favorite video.
While the video may not have been, the experience was very
artsy-fartsy.
He's placed another meeting on my schedule.
