A Pipeline of Dreams

I passed a van with a Career Builder sign on it while walking home from my chiropractor a little while ago.  The sign said something like “Dreams have low ROI.”  I guess that’s true if you have a career path that you walk on alone.

My sales and marketing guys taught me to think in terms of a pipeline.  It’s moving things through the pipeline that creates value, they say.  I realized that was what the Career Builder sign was missing.  It’s really dreams that are flying loose, that aren’t part of a pipeline, that have low ROI.

I have a pipeline of dreams.  One just move a little closer to reality.  it took Jessica, the Vision Mover (and programmer extraordinaire) to understand it enough to say, of course we can do that.  And Heather, the Conductor (and amazing database whiz) to say, I’ve got just the program for that.  And Dr. Jack, the Curator (and resident Wizard) to unlock the doors to the vault of wisdom I want our users to have access to.  Now I know it is truly a dream moving down the pipeline.
