Entrepeneurial thought for the day

If you think your idea is too small to be lucrative remember this: Merv Griffin wrote the theme for Jeopardy. It was initially 14 seconds long, so he made it 30 second long by changing the key and playing it again; just enough time for contestants to finalize their answers.

It is estimated that the royalties for his efforts exceed 70 million dollars.
