Pocket Wisdom Business Builder - Bob 'Idea Man' Hooey - Bog

The greatest ideas have been lost to mankind because the minds that spawned them did not capture them or act to bring them into reality. My challenge for you is to train your mind to systematically look for opportunities to unleash your creative side and bring ideas and innovation into your careers and organizations.The 'Next' Million Dollar Idea might just be yours...However, not every idea will be a million dollar one. Nor will every idea be a major innovative change for your organization. Not every idea will even work or pay off when put into practice. But you will never know until you choose to build some foundations for success under the idea and start applying it or at least testing its effectiveness. The secret is acting on them!Committing to creating or capturing an 'idea-a-week', will condition and discipline your mind to be on the outlook for opportunities to improve how and what you do, and to add to your product or service mix. This mini-business book is designed to do just that. Using a very simple format, I want to challenge you to create or capture an 'idea-a-week' that will help enhance your performance, career or organization. Even if you don't enact each one, the fact that you are training your brain will pay off big time as you move forward.Commit to analysing or evaluating each one, and then build some concrete foundations for success under them. You may not always be able to implement them immediately. You might need some additional training, staffing, financing, technology, additional components, or other pieces, before it can be put into action. But, by taking the time to capture them, evaluate each one, and then applying the profitable ones, you will be entering the ranks of the innovators who truly make a difference.An 'idea-a-week' could be the turning point in your long-term success and profitability. Make this week the beginning of the most productive year in your career and organization's history. Reminder: systematically consider one idea-a-week. Let it 'germinate' in your mind as you go through your week.
