'T-Power #5 — Arousing New-Ideas Thinking' — (It's All About The Thinking) Inside each of us lies a sleeping giant, the part of us that is wild and crazy. We need only to re-position the giant's energy toward playful, even silly, thinking. Many of us keep the giant hidden from view because of the unpredictability. Yet, unpredictability is vital. You open your brain to explore possibilities. Each new-idea represents a break from traditional thinking. Each idea, wild and crazy as it might be, reveals an opportunity.Keywords:

However, people, even today, have little experience with thinking --- even less training. They can memorize, understand what they are told, disassemble what others have created, and evaluate the work of others. What they cannot do, regularly, is think into the future. Therefore, you must prepare them.Keywords:

Some are personal and individual. Others are shared. Still others involve teams, groups, organizations, and even nations. Each journey, large or small, begins with the seeing of a destination. This seeing is commonly referred to as the vision, a future destination to be achieved. Until the vision is clear, you cannot move forward.Keywords:

Doing it yourself, you can be up-and-running in a couple of hours. Hiring someone who claims to be a web site designer takes longer. Write some copy. Paste in the web pages. However, most sites are 'brochure' sites which tell the world how wonderful your business, products, services are. Written from the owners' perspective, they are of little value to the customer who is seeking answers.Keywords:

Finding the obvious is probably the most difficult task in any kind of thinking. We honor the difficult? We pursue the complex. We applaud the creativity within our messages. Yet, 'the obvious is apt to be so simple and commonplace...' The obvious appeals to your common sense! But, you ask, 'How do I find my obvious?'Keywords:

Certainly, you have customers. However, if you want to grow your business, begin today to profile your desired, FUTURE customers. Forget most of what is labeled traditional wisdom. Analyzing your current customers fails to provide a picture of desired customers. Forget traditional demographics. They give you static information. Develop a process for envisioning your desired customers well into your business future.Keywords:

Now, how much time do you spend thinking about how to please your customers, how you provide a compelling value to your customers, and how you develop a sustained relationship with your customers? Unless you are truly the exception, not much time is spent looking at your company from your customers' perspective.Keywords:

Some we discuss willingly in public. Others we acknowledge privately but never admit to publicly. Admitting to certain fears challenges our entire being --- who we are, what we accomplish, what we value. Psychologist John Collard listed seven common fears: failure, sex, self-defense, trusting others, thinking, speaking, being alone. Which fears do you admit having, do you not have, puzzle you?Keywords:
