Three Simple Steps to your Eureka! Moment

[RazorCut]

Stuck in a rut? All fired up after reading The Millionaire Fastlane but can’t think of a single worthwhile project that will fulfil your dreams?

Well take heart there are thousands just like you out there. (Doesn’t provide much comfort though does it).

But hey! Don’t worry, you have just passed the test that qualifies you for a new supercharged creative ability. This ability will take you to levels of achievement that you thought were impossible to attain.

In three simple steps laid out before you, you will have the ability to astound your friends and family with your perceptive insights on a myriad of subjects.

See them dumbstruck as your predictions for future events materialise and have all your peers clamouring to be the first to greet you as your helicopter gently sets down on campus at your next high school reunion.

Have I bigged it up enough yet?

Ok, now for the feast.

The only test you needed to pass was being able to see and read. That is all that is needed to gain access to this superpower.

Now these three simple steps can be diced and sliced however you like. Any one might be all you need to get you where you need to be on a creative level but having all of them at your disposal would create a formidable toolkit so I would strongly urge you to follow through on all three in this order:

Watch the Youtube Video (Cost $0) Your Appetizer
Read Stop Think Create (Cost $0) Your Starter
Read Inside the Box (Cost a few $$) Your Main Course

Do that and, more importantly, practice and absorb these concepts and you will be seeing great opportunities everywhere you look and have the ability to produce great results at will.

First the SCAMPER technique. This video is a fun way to grasp the concept and although by no means exhaustive will give you a grounding in the method so you can research further:

The second resource is an eBook entitled Stop, Think, Create by author Warren Berger. 42 Things You Must Stop Doing Immediately So You Can Start to Think More Creatively. It is a free resource when you sign up to his newsletter here:

Disclaimer: I do not know Warren and have no vested interest in him or his business. I just find his ebook a very worthwhile read.

Thirdly the main course:

Inside the Box: A Proven System of Creativity for Breakthrough Results http://tinyurl.com/obhkmdj

This is a book that will set you back a few dollars but it comes highly recommended including MJ himself as he has pointed out this book on several occasions in the forum but many may have missed it or even dismissed it assuming that this line of thinking is just putting blinkers back on and going back to doing what everyone else has been doing for centuries (i.e. NOT thinking outside the box).

That is an easy assumption to make given the title of the book but nothing could be further from the truth. If you want to be innovative in a big way this book can open up a whole new world to you.

It shows that by utilising 5 elements of Subtraction, Division, Multiplication, Task Unification (combining 2 or more functions that might seem unrelated) and Attribute Dependency (changing one or more attributes of a product or service) you can de-construct and re-construct virtually anything to improve, redefine or reinvent your way to greatness. I urge you to read it.

Of course you will have to put in the work by studying these resources but you will no longer have the luxury of posting “I can’t think of something to build a business on”
