Doorbell Innovation

Sometimes in life you have to get past some locked doors to get were you wanted to be.  

At Lincoln College, there was a gatekeeper named Bobbo, a mountain of a man, who looked funny perched inside the little toll booth looking glass box inside the lobby of Carroll Hall.  When anyone came over to hangout in my dorm, I had to go down two floors & through two locked doors.  Bobbo would just nod if he saw you or continue chatting to someone who was trying to distract him.  

But, going down to let people in every time was annoying.  

So, one day I bought myself a doorbell.  You plugged in the little receiver into a three prong outlet & with one of those 3M sticky tabs, I stuck the doorbell button outside on the red brick wall behind a bush.  

For around $10, it made my life so much easier.  Now, when someone came over they just pressed the bell & I heard a "Ding-Dong" in my room.  I'd throw them down my keys & saved myself a lot of steps.   

College is great place to learn how to adapt to foreign surroundings & solve new problems as they arise.  In the last ten plus years running Mad Munch, I consider those skills our most important.  You must constantly change & innovate to thrive in business.
