Remember The Mary Tyler-Moore Show Theme Song – “Love Is All Around”? If not, that’s okay. We are not here to talk about television theme songs. With apologies to Tyler-More and the song’s writer, Paul Williams, if we were to write a Profit By Imagination theme song, we would title it, “Ideas Are All Around.” The Profit By Imagination Blog is about ideas – good ideas, creative ideas, unusual ideas, and sometimes, just plain wacky ideas.
