Excellent ideas. It is always good to have your brain ticking over thinking of ideas such as this. There are business and product ideas everywhere and you’ve proved it with this paper example.

Reminds me of the ‘acres of diamonds’ idea that everything we need is usually right in front of us – it’s waking up to the opportunities.

As they say, the opportunity of a lifetime comes along about once a week!

Cheers
