When lightening strikes

Last week my house got struck by lightening whilst I was away speaking at a conference. It certainly made an electrifying difference, as it short circuited our power supply, though thankfully it only caused repairable material damage. Anyway, it got me thinking about power surges and what causes some people to have flashes of inspiration and brilliant ideas and others to be scared about thinking big or differently.

So this week, I am seeking people who have got an idea for £65 that is different - it can be fun, wild, wacky - as long as it makes a positive difference for others. Send me your thoughts and let's Go MAD.

Hi Andy,

Yesterday I shared your blog with my partner and his mum and we started bouncing ideas around. We settled on the idea of buying icecreams for strangers at a beauty spot near where we live.

However to make it more fun and wacky we are going to make a sign that requests people to sing, dance or do an impression that entertains others in order to get their free icecream.

We think this will make a difference and put a smile on people's faces. What do you reckon?
