Before you get excited,  checkout the rules:

• Rule #3 states “It MUST BE CASH FLOW BREAK EVEN within 60 days”. 
• Rule #11 says ” If you do get money, it goes into a bank that I specify, and I have the ability to watch the funds flow and the opportunity to require that I cosign any outflows.”

Still Interested? But, don’t let those rules stop you!

Attempt it as a playful exercise! Can you come up with a business idea that must cash break-even in 60 days?

We loved playing. At every opportunity. With anyone and everyone. With neighbours. With friends. With guests at home. With strangers. With pets. With stray dogs.

We were looking to play all the time. While eating (spoons and plates were musical instruments). While Bathing (bathroom was a swimming pool). In the Classroom (teacher appeared to be a clown). While Studying (Books were very useful – as building blocks to create houses and bridges). Everywhere.

We played. Always. Made a lot of mistakes. Broke things. Were shouted at. Forgot about them. Had Fun. Learnt a Lot. “Took’ whatever we wanted with “ferocious tenacity”. The World seemed to be at our feet.

Gradually, play reduced and “seriousness” took over. Pressure to confirm to “thinking” of peers, family and society restrained us.

After growing up, we don’t play because:

• It is a waste of time 
• Looks foolish
• Time is better spent in making money
• There are more important matters to deal with
• Fatigue prevents us

However, whenever we play, we become fully alive and thoroughly enjoy those moments. Playing helps us sharpen our intelligence and enhances our vitality.

Playing few minutes everyday rejuvenates our being and provides the energy to enthusiastically complete regular tasks.

So, why stop playing?
