CAR SALES LESSON.I've been interested in cars for a long time. So I read various magazines and articles that take my interest. You may know the Ford Motor Company once owned Jaguar. Like many other car manufacturers, Jaguar was losing money and Ford came to the rescue. This has been a common occurrence in the car industry.Jaguar is no longer a Ford subsidiary though. This story is from an industry magazine some years ago. Jaguar has always had the passion. It was run by people who cared more about the Company.Than they did their own careers. When Ford brought process to that passion.You've got a lethal combination. You've got both sides of the brain.' (Mike Dale ex-Chairman Jaguar USA) Do you have the lethal combination? Like Jaguar, most people have passion. No doubt readers of this article are passionate about their cars.That's something that drives you on and keeps you going. It's the other part, where problems often arise.Lack of money, ideas or time, are reasons for stagnation. But simply having more time, money or ideas.Without passion is a fruitless effort. It's the combination of skills with passion that's lethal. It can make scarce resources work effectively.Whatever the amount available. Do you have passion or have you just lost momentum? Do you ALSO have the process or systems?To put your skills and talent to work? Just how well do you have things organized? Do you have a lethal combination that's crucial to success? Or waste time, money, talent, opportunity or other resources?That are available to you?Conformity will stifle creativity. There are many barriers to creativity.But there are infinitely more solutions.Everything has NOT yet been invented. The bigger the changes the bigger the potential gain. While details are critical to big ideas.Worry about them after the brainstorm. "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
