An Idea is worth a Million Dollars
Posted on April 26th, 2008 in Creative Thinking |
Each of us get some ideas from time to time. These ideas when implemented may make a million dollars in business, but we usually find a number of reasons why the idea won’t work and throw it away. That is because the mind is not ready to take up that task (hmm, a nice way of saying Lazy). What I recommend: Whenever you get an idea, write it down in your journal. This will help you record that idea and also branch out to new ideas.
Technique to Generate New Ideas:
New ideas come by systematic thinking process. Not just by sitting alone and asking you mind to “think, think, think”. I hope you would have heard about the father of lateral thinking - Edward de bono. This great man has developed a set of techniques to use the brain to generate more ideas. I have used his methods to solve relationship problems, drive traffic to my site and develop new business ideas. I strongly recommend you to buy his books if you are interested in improving the quality of your personal and business life.

I remember the first time I heard Edward de Bono speak about 10 years ago. I suddenly realised that I could learn to think, I could learn to be creative. Six Thinking hats and the Lateral Thinking techniques are now in my thinking tool kit. These and other tools have inspired me to develop creativity and innovation and have started writing about how to help others with Head First Innovation
