Imagine for a moment that you have this large or small crowd gathered and they've all politely seated themselves in some sort of circle. Your question is where to go, how to act, how to relate to them... So I ask you, what would you do if you knew that there was lots of ice cream and treats to sprinkle and drizzle on top of it, all set up and ready in the middle of the circle? Would you smile? Would they smile back? Would you enjoy telling them about the various options and possibilities that had been arranged? Would you enjoy holding them, locked in their seats, for just an extra few minutes, heightening the anticipation, maybe digressing a little bit on a tangent about the history of sundaes, or teasing the list of ingredients? And when you were done explaining, ready to let them run for the bowls, where would you be? Probably at the center, pointing to it, welcoming them to come. And then where do you go? Out of the way! While it's true that some healthy eaters might not get too excited about this ice cream business, they'll likely perk up when they notice the fruit and nut toppings. By and by, most everyone will discover something delicious in the center of your circle. So your job is to walk into that crowd knowing that something cool is coming up soon.
