7 Techniques to Supercharge your Creativity and Solve your Problems
7 Techniques to Supercharge your Creativity and Solve your Problems
Do you ever encounter problems, challenges or obstacles in your business? If you answered 'no,' then you can stop reading and continue to rake in the fortune you must be making. For the rest of us, the answer of course is 'yes.'
For the most troubling problems, the biggest challenge is in your inability to come up with new and innovative solutions. This is because when you try to solve a problem, you probably use the same approach every time ('let me sit here and think about it until I come up with something?'). The next time you try to solve a problem, try applying any (or all) of these approaches:
1) Be Obvious - Cances are, whatever your problem is, there is some conventional wisdom about how to solve it. Ask yourself why you are not following it, and evaluate for yourself whether your reasons are valid. Sometimes the easiest solution is the one right in front of us.
2) Be Contrarian - The opposite of being obvious, being contrarian means to consider doing the opposite of what conventional wisdom says. If the standard advice is to buy, think about selling. Instead of working more, work less. Note: This does not mean you should automatically DO what the opposite is; it just means to let your mind wander over the opposite to get it working in another direction.
3) Start Where you are - Sometimes we get so caught up in the long term goal that we lose sight of where we are. Think about your problem and what you might do right now to solve it. Usually this results in frustration because we don't have a fully formed solution. But just because an idea is not fully formed does not mean that it does not have some validity. Start with your current idea and watch as new ideas present themselves.
4) Chunk up - If you can't figure out how to achieve your goal, try looking at the bigger picture. If your goal is to earn $10,000 this month and you can't figure out how, think bigger - maybe you want $10K because you want to earn six figures this year. Then start to brainstorm ways of earning six figures. Don't get so caught up on your problem that you lose sight of the bigger picture.
5) Chunk down - The opposite of chunking up. Think in terms of smaller details. Continuing with the $10K example, if you can't think of how to earn $10,000 this month, can you think of ways to earn $333 per day? Maybe, but even if you can't it gets the mind working in a new way.
6) Take a REAL Break - Stop working on the problem for a bit and let your subconscious work on it. This requires two things. First, you need to actually give your mind a break and recharge. Switching from thinking about one problem to another will not do it. Get away from the problem an your work, even if for only five minutes. Second, make sure you are not dwelling on the problem. Taking a walk to get away from work is great, but if you continue to mull over the problem your not really giving your mind a break from it.
7) Move - Get the blood flowing! Exercise, walk, run, stretch, whatever. Be it from blood flow, endorphins, or a change in focus, physical movement enhances creativity. I do some of my best thinking while shooting baskets. Find out what works for you and do it.
There are many different techniques you can use to solve a problem. Try the few above to start, and then come up with your own. Use them well, and watch yourself create new and exciting solutions faster than ever.Avish Parashar is a professional speaker who runs seminars on creativity, teamwork, productivity, leadership, and communication using the principles of improvisational comedy. http://www.professional-speaker-avish-parashar.com

Internet Marketing: Dr. Robert Anthony Reveals How To Use Quantum Physics To Supercharge Success – Internet-Marketing
Internet Marketing: Dr. Robert Anthony Reveals How To Use Quantum Physics To Supercharge Success
What secret dreams do you have for your Internet marketing business? Would
you like to quickly expand your list to giant proportions? Would you love to
have a list of thousands or even millions of people bringing in money every day
as they buy the products you offer?What if you could have anything you wanted simply by using your mind in a
certain revolutionary way?Undoubtedly, Dr. Robert Anthony, author of 15 best-selling books, including
the Beyond Positive Thinking, is the undisputed master of teaching people to
manifest their desires and turn them into reality.He offers these words of advice to give you complete and total control over
your brain and mind in accomplishing whatever you want to accomplish.(Note: To access Dr. Anthony's complete audio interview for fre^e, see end of article)The most important thing, he says, is to realize that you've caused whatever
outcome you currently have in your life. Are you still struggling to make a living
online? The fact is that, consciously or unconsciously, you are causing your
lack of success.You are not a victim of circumstances. Simply by becoming aware of the
tremendous effect of your thoughts and emotions you can become a creator of
your circumstances and have whatever you want in your life. In fact, you can
virtually guarantee a successful outcome.One universal law and principle that Dr. Anthony reveals is: "You attract what
you focus on." In other words, what you focus on expands. So it follows, if you
don't have the life or Internet marketing success that you want, it's due to
focusing on the wrong things.According to Quantum Physics, focusing actually causes changes in energy
fields that automatically produce a physical change in your surroundings.Instead of focusing on the problem, you need to focus on the solution-the
outcome that you desire. Unfortunately 95% percent of people focus on what
they fear, instead of what they want out of life.It's kind of like driving down the road and seeing a pothole. If you focus intently
on staring at the pothole, intending to miss it, what happens? Of course! You
run smack dab into it.It's the same with life and business. When you focus on your fears, you make
them reality.Do you worry about spending money educating yourself in marketing? Are
you afraid that you may be throwing away money that you may never see
again? Are you operating in a spirit of fear?As Sir Winston Churchill is so often quoted, "The only thing we have to fear is
fear itself." This statement hits the nail on the head. It literally is 100 percent
true.Focus instead on realizing that you must have the proper tools and education
to succeed.You wouldn't try to build a house without a good set of tools and some
construction knowledge.Focus on doing exactly what it takes to get the outcome you want.With that in mind, the key to success is the more you focus on what you want,
the more your desires will manifest themselves in your life.Rick Miller is a Certified Master of Web Copywriting and co-founder of List Crusade.

Creative Visualization: How to Supercharge Your Goal Setting – Goal-Setting
Creative Visualization: How to Supercharge Your Goal Setting
Do you know the single best way to "supercharge" any goal setting program you use is through visualization?What is visualization? And how do you do it for maximum goal achievement?Actually, it's quite simple and something you do all the time.Simply create a mental picture of the end result of your goal.
Completely visualizing your desired goal is also an extremely powerful way to change one's subconscous programming for the better.For example, if your affirmation is "I easily make $1,000 or more each week"
then you simply create a mental picture of:
depositing $1,000 into your bank account;
holding 10 $100 bills in your hand;
seeing a check of $1,000 made out to you.The list is endless and only limited by your imagination. So let your imagination go wild...Here's a chance to daydream like you did as a kid.Let's assume your affirmation is "I weigh 110 lbs" (or whatever weight you wish to weigh)Simply create a mental picture of you:
stepping on a scale and seeing the numbers go to your desired weight;
looking in the mirror and seeing yourself as you wish to look;
having friends and family members tell you how great you look, etc.Again, allow your imagination to take over and have fun with your visualization.Each time you visualize your desired goal, feel free to change the mental picture or use the same one repeatedly.
If you like, make your visualization into a mini "mental movie." Add as many senses as possible to the movie.
Start off with the visual aspect of the picture.
Then add the sounds you hear in your movie.
Then add the scents you smell in the movie.
Then add the textures of the things you touch into the movie.
Finally, add the emotions you feel into the movie.
Feel the excitement, satisfaction, and sense of well-being you are experiencing as you have reached your goal.This is often called "complete visualization" and gives your subconscious mind a very clear picture of what you want to accomplish.Here's how a complete visualization, using the above example, would go:You hold in your hands 10 fresh $100 dollar bills.
You can feel their crispness and notice their fresh 'money' smell.
You look around you and see your local bank.
As you wait in line to deposit your money, you begin to feel the excitement of knowing you now have $1,000 or more to deposit every week.
As you approach your favorite bank teller, you hear them say "Welcome to ABC National Bank. What can I help you with today?"..Did you notice how you combined all 5 senses and the crucial element of positive emotions into your dream scenario?You probably even felt a little excitement reading the above visualization.That's the power of visualizations!Again, let your imagination have fun and form your own unique "mental movies"Did you know that if you spent 5-10 minutes every day doing this simple "daydreaming" you'd be on the effortless road to accomplishing any goal you wanted?Ever wondered why certain people seem to accomplish their goals with seemingly little to no effort?
