How To Let The Subconscious Mind Do The Creative Work
How To Let The Subconscious Mind Do The Creative Work
From time immemorial mankind has wished for an Aladin's lamp,
which would make wisheds come true.The closest thing to this magic lamp is the subconscious mind.
The "genii" of the subconsious mind
will work for you if you follow a certain process.How can we trap the subconscious mind
into a great deal of our creative work for us.Here are eight tested ways.1. Give yourself a motive.The subconscious mind works at its creative best
when you have a purpose.2. Make a date with your subconscious mind.Prod it with definite orders as to what you want,
but don't tell it what methods to use.Let it use its own methods.Example : "Genii, at 2 p.m. tomorrow,
I want you to tell me just how I am going to sell 3000 crates
of oranges to hard boiled Mr. Mack."
It will help the genii if you have obligingly
collected on cards all the pertinent information about Mr. Mack likes,
dislikes and hobbies.
This will make it easier for the genii to figure out the best approach.3. Always keep a pad and pencil at your bedside.You never can tell when the subconscious mind
will suddenly come up with an idea.
When it does, write it down.
Always carry a small notebook or pad with you.4. Write every idea down.When you first get an idea,
don't try to figure out whether it's good or bad.
Write it down.
"The faintest ink is better then the best memory."
This is particularly true of creative ideas.5. Don't be critical of your ideas too soon.You have a problem that can't be solved by cold logic.
It needs the spark of imagination.
But the moment your subconscious mind tries to throw out a spark,
your conscious mind says :
"That idea is a lemon. It will never work."In the early stages of the creative game,
the conscious mind must be told to shut up.
Nothing will cause the genii to scamper away
so much as being told by the conscious mind
that their ideas are worthless.6. When stymied, stop for a while.Of course, most creative problems can't be solved overnight.
After you had a creative session with yourself,
it's usually best to stop trying to think up any more ideas.
This stage is called the incubation.7. Keep yourself motivated.Whenever you have temporarily abandoned
seeking an answer to a problem,
the uncounscious mind should have its orders :
"This is important to me.
Don't give up the ship.
Keep on working on this idea while I sleep and rest."8. When the heat of creation is goneput your work aside for later evaluation.Just as a period of conscious thinking and gathering facts
usually precedes a creative idea,
so a period of conscious thinking should eventually follow it.
This is the period of evaluation.Creativeness is wonderfull.
But it is only half the battle.
The other half is evaluating your idea
or hearing another's opinion of it.Sometimes an honest opinion may spark a new idea.Fernando Soave

Let Your Products Sell Your Name: For Public Speakers – Public-Speaking
Let Your Products Sell Your Name: For Public Speakers
Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to be one long, giant commercial for yourself all the time? If maybe your products and your name did the promoting for you? When someone hires you to speak at a high profile event, they are taking a large gamble on your ability to engage an audience's interest, and the extent of your knowledge. That said, it is important to have some credibility to your name, or you'll be speaking at every pitiful engagement that comes along.I use a number of different techniques to sell my products that way when an engagement comes along the person hiring me already knows what to expect. You can't just buy a website and expect people to start calling with offers to hear you speak. Besides, selling a book or downloadable tape, is much easier to do because less money is at risk to the buyer.Let your product do the work for you. A happy customer is always a returning customer. Since the profit is very high in information products, you will enjoy a hefty cash flow while your good name grows.When your product sells well, you then have the ability to accept only the most prestigious speaking offers. Being selective about the engagements that you speak at will allow you to build your celebrity status, and in turn, raise your speaking fee.Your products are a reflection of yourself and the knowledge that you have to offer. Treat every sale, no matter how small with the same integrity you would treat a larger one. You never know what connections or responsibilities your customer may have for hiring speakers.Tom Antion provides entertaining speeches and educational seminars.

Let The Email Wars Begin – Email-Marketing
Let The Email Wars Begin
Things just got a lot hotter in the hyper-competitive world of online email providers.In response to Google's announcement that their soon-to-be-launched "Gmail" service will offer users 1 gigabyte of email storage, Yahoo! announced an upgrade of their free email service to allow users 100MB of free email storage along with other enhancements.Microsoft's Hotmail will surely also announce a free upgrade in email storage space.On the surface it might just appear like a simple case of one-upmanship, but it actually represents major forces digging in online and preparing to do battle.It appears Yahoo! simply wanted to take the issue of email storage space off the table as a consideration for users as to which email service to choose.Google enjoyed considerable media and public attention over the past few weeks with the media marveling at how Google intended to give hundreds of megabytes more space to its users than Yahoo! or Hotmail.With this move, Yahoo! made storage a "non-issue," but the real war has only just begun.Email ranks as the number one most popular online activity according to virtually any survey you care to read.When people go online, they spend the single biggest chunk of their time sending, receiving, and reading email.Online email providers understand that eyeballs on a page looking at advertising and responding to offers is what makes them money.By increasing loyalty among email users in order to repeatedly draw them back to the same website (often several times a day), email service providers like Yahoo!, Hotmail and Google can keep people looking at revenue generating ads.Despite the best efforts of government regulators, private organizations, software filters, ISP's and others, over half of all email sent online rates as unsolicited commercial email (SPAM).Besides storage space, Google, Yahoo! and Hotmail will start claiming that their spam filters rate better than the rest.These online powerhouses hope to attract users with the promise of cutting down and even eliminating the avalanche of get-rich-quick, pornography, and ink-jet cartridge offers (among others) that bombard virtually anyone with an email account more than 15 minutes old.This will, however, lead to another problem that many of them won't talk about, which involves filtering legitimate email as spam.Unfortunately, the sword cuts both ways on this issue.So where does it all end? Never! Hotmail will enter the fray with expanded storage capacity as well as the promise of less spam and a more "friendly" interface to make your email life even easier.Yahoo! and Hotmail will most likely copy Google and start serving context sensitive advertising based on the content of each email message as it get viewed.Privacy advocates will weigh in to claim that all of the filtering and serving of ads based on an email message's content violates our rights to privacy and heralds the arrival of "Big Brother."But all this jockeying for position and enticing users from one email service to another actually represents a great boon for the average Internet user.It will force three of the Web's biggest players to wake up and improve their services after 2 or 3 years of "business as usual" and we can all expect a few valuable innovations to result.About The AuthorJim Edwards is a syndicated newspaper columnist and the co-author of an amazing new ebook that will teach you how to use fr-e articles to quickly drive thousands of targeted visitors to your website or affiliate links...Need MORE TRAFFIC to your website or affiliate links?
