Free Chapter

Hi,
today as a thank you for reading my blog and to celebrate the release of my new book, I am going to share with you an extract of a  chapter from the book.

The chapter is titled  Inventive

" It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong,than always be right by having no ideas at all "  Edward de Bono

The third element in the spirit of an entrepreneur is being inventive. The ability to create or think originally.

At times the relentless pursuit of your goals can hit roadblocks. Results don't happen as you expect. Money is tight. What was once easy, now drags you around like an anchor hitting asphalt. You feel as if you are scrapping for every piece of the pie.

This is when you have to get inventive,finding solutions. The ability to find constructive,resourceful and imaginative ways around,over and under the roadblocks.

it is a skillset ,a mindset,a thought process that comes from within. Your past experiences,other people's challenges and solutions,your own solutions and ideas all  swirl around inside your head.

The swirling stops,the mist clears and new ideas come together. They bring hope,belief and promise. You see the clear path forward. Inventive is an element not many manage to attain. Elusive is not the right word,because this element belongs to them who have worked and made mistakes. Admitted,learned from them and moved onwards.

Inventive also means being able to see a gap,when others see a " full " sign. Being able to mould two or three separate items into one new product/service,that ignites a customer need no-one ever thought existed.
