So many options; Andreas Gursky. 99 Cent.

At a quick glance of registered US LLC’s with “business consulting” as their main form of activity, there are over 500,000 options to choose from. Unfortunately, decision engines like bing.com and hunch.com don’t really work here.

Even better, there are 5,345 books with “Collaboration” in the title!

Problem:

How do you collaborate correctly? Most efficiently? How do you decide? Most would (1) ASK A FRIEND, some would (2) GOOGLE some options, (4) make a LIST or (4) WING it.

Solution:

FUN. FUN. FUN. FUN. FUN.

MGTaylor (mgtaylor.com) has an Axiom “If you can’t have fun with a problem, you will never solve it.”

Try it. It works!
