Jen Fraser
“When you ask an inventor for advice around finding you own genius ideas, their lack of insight into what the pieces of the puzzle are, and how they all fit together, means that they really can’t help you! Only you can help yourself, and the Outthinx Method is the ultimate DIY exercise for achieving this. The Method gives us the keys to unlock our own, unique genius. The Method makes locksmiths of us all.”
Jen Fraser, CopyCat: How to Escape Status Quo Thinking and Lead the Field

Alice A. Bailey
“Thus the idea is lost in the ideal and the ideal, in its turn, in the method of its application.”
Alice A. Bailey, The Destiny of the Nations
