Lot’s of things need batteries. Electronics, toys, remotes…they’re worthless without the batteries that run them.
But batteries are a bad gift to give someone for their birthday.
You don’t give someone a 24-pack of AA batteries and say “Just imagine the possibilities!!!!!”
No…you give them the toy. You can get batteries everywhere.
Everyone loves getting the toy…because we’re excited about what the toy does, what the toy is all about…and now all we need is batteries.
(We would hate getting the batteries first…because they’re useless and unexciting and we’d have to look around and wonder ‘now if I could just had a fun toy’…which is a lot harder to find than batteries.)
You are the toy.
Ideas are the batteries.
Like the toy, we want to be excited about what you do, your potential, your function, your service, your purpose, that thing you do :).
Once that’s there, and all we need are ideas (batteries) to make this thing come to life…well batteries (ideas) are available everywhere, and everyone has them.
That’s the easy, fun part.
Add the batteries to the toy and now we have a party, a career, an active purpose, purpose brought to life.
