Innovation Is It A State Of Mind?

 

Innovation Is It A State Of Mind?

You probably know the myth of innovation as a sudden flash of insight that comes from nowhere. We read about that “aha” moment, or that light bulb turning on in the mind of some inventor or innovator, and this is true to an extent. Einstein really did get flashes of insight while shaving in the morning. However, he was of course working on the problems he had insight into, and he didn’t suddenly have ideas for new kitchen gadgets or movie plots.

Einstein’s innovations, in other words, no matter how “sudden” the original ideas were, came from past and present mental work. It is like a singer who works at his craft for ten years and then becomes an “overnight success.” Innovative people only have “sudden” new ideas because they have habitually worked and thought in certain ways for some time. If you want to become an innovative thinker, then, why not start cultivating those mental habits?

Mental Habits Lead To Innovation

Problems can be opportunities. “Problem” may have a negative connotation, such as being a hassle or stressful, but any problem can lead to an innovation that improves our lives. Not knowing the time led to clocks small enough to put on our wrists. Nasty diseases lead to sanitary sewer systems. Start looking for opportunity in every problem. Even a mundane problem like not having enough storage space could lead to an innovation. You may just build a plywood floor in the attic, but you could invent a new type of outdoor storage unit.

Innovation begins with understanding the key elements. Metal, wood or glass are not key elements of a door to an innovator. A way to get in, a way to keep others out – these are key elements. Begin with these, and soon you’re imagining new ways to make a door. You could design a door that is opened by your voice (nice when your hands are full), or one that shuts and locks itself when anyone else approaches. Think of the key elements in things.

Attitude helps innovation. The creative problem-solving technique of concept-combination involves combining two ideas to see what new idea or product results. The crucial point is that you assume there will be a useful new idea. Starting with that assumption, your mind will work overtime to produce something. A shoe and a CD have nothing to do with each other, but it took just a minute to imagine a CD player with headphones that only plays the music correctly if a jogger maintains his ideal pace. When you assume there is something there, you’ll often find something.

Playfulness helps innovation. A playful mind is a creative mind, and while high IQ doesn’t correlate with creativity, put it together with playfulness, and you have an Einstein. Remember, he imagined himself riding on a beam of light in order to arrive at his theory of relativity. Why not start playing with ideas and things, in your mind and in your surroundings. Innovation should be fun.

How To Network And Profit

 Network Marketing is an excellent way for the “average Joe or Jane” to make an extra income. This business concept has been around for decades, and it will not disappear any time soon. The reason for its popularity is simple… It Works! It does however, require lots of work and most importantly, dedication and persistence to get the job done. The best part is, once you can set up a solid network, your business becomes MUCH less time intensive. Almost like going on “autopilot”. The key is to get there as fast as possible.

Here are just a couple of tips I have found to be helpful in maximizing your Network Marketing Business:

Learn- Goal Setting, Time Management, Self-Confidence, Organization, and Sales Success for personal and or business from the leading authority in the industry Brian Tracy: Click Here

1. Use your products regularly. This is Number 1 for a reason; this is the most ignored part of ANY network marketing business. How do you expect your business to succeed if you will not even use your own products? It does seem silly to even have to bring this up, but there are many who are not using their own products and wonder why they are not making any money. Make a commitment to use your products for a year, and see where your business goes.

2. Educate yourself constantly. This is very important! You must rid yourself of negative ideas, sometimes referred to as “stinkin-thinkin”. This can be done in a variety of ways. I recommend reading at least 15 minutes a day but try to shoot for 30. Business and self-help books are a great way to start. Don’t forget your multi-level magazines, as they are full of tips and advice. Lastly, listen to cassette tapes on multi-level tips from top earners in your business.

3. Spend as much time as possible with your upline. Your upline should have only one goal in mind, To Help You Succeed! They are a vast source of knowledge and information. Mingle with top distributors in your group, or other groups, and ask how they made it. Most everyone should be more than happy to provide you with excellent tips and advice.

4. Present your products and marketing plan personally to at least one person daily. Remember above when I said you are going to have to work, well here it is. Now here is the key, the prospects to whom you present your plan, do not have to be yours personally. Show the plan for your downline, and not only will you create “security” by placing members in your downlines’ downline, it will also give you a boost in your personal income! I can guarantee if you were to follow this rule for 6 months, you would create a downline with enough width and depth to create an income to sustain you and your family for life.

5. Care for your downline. An entire book can be written on this topic. Usually, it’s the little things that show you really care. Try to maintain regular contact, and always praise your distributor’s accomplishments. You can even offer incentives for specific achievements, such as money, travel, recognition, or other rewards, to help motivate your group.

6. Duplicate yourself by making distributors independent of you. This will help to multiply your time, thus making you and your group more effective. Always lead by example. Never stop recruiting, training, and retailing. Remember the KISS formula — “Keep It Simple, Sweety” I know, I know, I changed the last word, but it maintains the meaning. This can be done my conducting simple, brief, yet dramatic presentations, and teaching your downline to do the same.

7. Create a large customer base. This is another largely ignored, yet very important, piece of your network marketing business. Many try so hard to build a huge downline, that they forget how much profit they could also make by selling their products to retail customers. Some people will just not want to become part of your downline, no matter how great a product/system you may have. This does not mean they will not be personally interested in your product. Try to make everyone your customer. Once you earn their trust, they will come to you more, and perhaps even join your downline later. Always “leave the door open”, as people’s needs do change.

8. Focus on your customer’s needs. You must give customers more than they expect, and always satisfy your customers complaints immediately. Try to listen 80% of the time and talk only 20%. As stated above, your customers can be a huge source of future referrals and/or business. You must earn and maintain their trust. Once you have their trust, you can always ask for referrals, which leads to even more business and a larger downline.

9. Set daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals — and Write Them Down! You may have heard the expression, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” Breaking up a larger goal into smaller easily attainable goals, is the key to success. You cannot just jump to the end; you have to make progress every day. Writing them down is another largely ignored, important tip to help you succeed. A goal is just a “passing thought”, or “wish” until you put it in writing. That is when it becomes concrete and real. It is also a great idea to keep a business journal of your daily activities, as it will help you to become more productive and time-conscious.

10. Get Out There And Do It Now! All of the knowledge in the world is useless and unprofitable, until you put the most important ingredient of them all in place. This “secret” ingredient should come as no surprise at all, but this is the #1 reason for failure at anything in life. It is ACTION! Remember, knowledge is useless without action.

Following these steps will almost give you immediate results. Thank you for reading this, and I truly hope this has provided you with valuable information to help you and your business grow and succeed.

A New Wood Carver? Some thoughts and Tips

 Continuously have sharp apparatuses. They cut perfect, even contrary to what would be expected assuming you are cautious. They are additionally more secure to use than dull ones, since you apply more power and that is when things begin to slip and slide and tear into you. Thus, figure out how to hone appropriately first. Use woods that are not difficult to cut so you can gain proficiency with the essential methods of cutting without battling the material, that would be Basswood. Get to know the mechanics of wood. Comprehend grain and how it can help you or battle you.

Figure out how to do your own plans, for example figure out how to draw a little. You will be the jealousy of every other person in the event that you can make your own unique plans. This is likewise something you can sell on the off chance that you wish.

Begin with a straightforward plan, something that you can accomplish decently effectively, to get a pride rolling.

Try different things with various parts of cutting to find the one that you truly love, for example chip cutting, alleviation cutting, cartoons, reasonable figure, wildfowl, and so on. There are so many. I have concluded that I need to be known as a stone carver.

Make sure to have a great time. In the event that you abhor yourself any seriously doing this, then drop it, or change your methodology.

How would you ward the grain from removing with the cut? Would it be a good idea for you to cut in from the two sides?

Sharp instruments is step number one, everything apparatuses don't come sharp from the shop. Going in from the two sides is one arrangement. You could likewise have a go at going across the grain. In reality, this is the most straightforward approach to eliminating a ton of wood quick. The best is to attempt and consistently cut with the grain, so going if from the two finishes assuming that you need a truly well put together is the arrangement. Cutting across the grain (90 degrees to the grain) will stop the tearing and be extremely simple, however you won't get such a neat and tidy similarly as with the grain. By clean I intend to actually say "sparkling", with the goal that you will not need to sand it prior to wrapping up.

Many do not have many apparatuses, as a matter of fact for some it was a bunch of twelve little woodcarving blades, more than etches, that you purchase for several bucks at any equipment or craftsmanship store. So you needn't bother with an extraordinary arrangement of instruments for this.

A word on Safe Carving:

At the point when the chips are flying with gouges and hammers, or while utilizing any power device, wear security glasses. Your eyes are your most significant device; safeguard them.

Assuming you are utilizing power devices that make dust, make certain to wear a residue cover. Wood can contain harmful growths, and a few woods themselves can be risky.

While applying power to push a blade or gouge through wood, apparatuses regularly slip. Continuously keep your hands behind the instrument's sharp edge. Try not to hold the wood in that frame of mind while cutting. Continuously attempt to get the work piece on a table or in a tight clamp with the goal that two hands are allowed to control the devices. Cuts frequently happen when one hand is attempting to hold the piece and the other hand is pushing hard on the apparatus - and it slips. Secure the work piece, and keep two hands on the instrument and behind the sharp edge.

Utilize sound judgment. Pay attention to the voice of self safeguarding. Without fail, not long before I hurt myself, there was a little voice in my mind saying "you ought not be doing this, it's dangerous." Ignoring it in any event, briefly may bring about an excursion to the emergency treatment unit.

Discussing emergency treatment, make certain to keep an exceptional medical aid pack helpful.
