Show me" — So says Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady." From lack of use, we dulled our visual thinking. We need to awaken a thinking that is natural to all of us from the time we are children. Words come easier adults. Our focus shifts from the speaker-presenter to the listener-receiver.Thinking in "show me" terms requires us to move to the creative, playful part of our brains. "Business Plan Writers: Should You Hire One?" By : Dr Sinner Do you need to write a business plan? The thought of preparing a business plan tends to fill most business owners with dread; it can be a difficult, stressful, and time consuming process. For this reason alone you may want to think about seeking the help of a professional business plan writer. "Challenging Your Assumptions" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride I believe ... I think ... I know ... When you hear yourself saying these terms, you are uttering an assumption. Sometimes assumptions are masked under expressions like we must, we should. Still others come with heavy camouflage. Here are issues to address. You made mistakes. Assumptions cloud discussions, jeopardize planning, distort innovations. Therefore, confronting assumptions refocuses what you are doing or planning to do. "Congratulations, You Failed!" Or, the Sublime Art of Failing Miserably By : Lani and Allen Voivod Are you an entrepreneur, biz owner, coach, consultant, or solo professional with more than a few failures notched in your belt? Congratulations! You're doing all the right things to ensure eventual and ultimate success. Read on... "Courting The BIG Innovation" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Wanting to hear the Sirens' songs but not succumb, Odysseus fought off the music by asking his crew to tie him securely to a mast.Odysseus sought counsel with seductive, magical Circe. She offers instructions. She comes in the night with visions to terrify the weak. She tempts you with possibilities. Innovation Sirens call you. Magical songs play in your head. Circe sends visions of future realities. Her visions awaken even the deepest sleeper. "Courting the BIG Innovation: Part #2" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Although not done thinking about what you want to achieve, think about the next exploration phase which has three components: A = assumptions, B = behaviors, and C = character. As you begin answering "Who Do You Need To Become," "search" is constantly with you. Start with "list of characteristics of innovators." Look at each one deeply. You do not want to be blinded by your own ignorance. Be open with yourself. Be honest in your assessments. "Designing Forward To Solutions" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride "The Devil Is In The Details" — How many times have you heard that expression? When working with problems, frustration ranks high on the emotions you experience. So, understand what kind of problem you face. An existing problem you want to fix requires analytical skills that rely on historical data. However, a challenge that looks to the future requires strategic synthesis-skills that rely heavily on questions, images, and outcomes. "Disarming The Big Ducks" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Big ducks parade through all our lives. Some waddle in front of us to slow our progress. Some nag us, with an incessant "quackquackquack," to change ourselves. Some startle us with a gigantic QUACK and dramatically flapping wings to get us out of their way. Ducks never change. They are happy with their world. However, we can change our reactions to their behavior. "Entering The World Of Innovation" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride The world of innovation scares many people. Typically, these frightened people associate innovation with HUGE, risk-laden ideas that change things dramatically. To the contrary, "innovation" refers to change and to doing something new. Here, size does not matter. In fact, some very small changes create dramatic innovation. "Establishing Virtual Communities" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Since the start of the 21st century, virtual explorers have developed social networks, an uncharted territory excited them. They created the software, developed the sites, invited early adopters to play. As social networks matured, a different person populated the networks. This person needs not the explorer's excitement nor the hard world of the pioneer. This person wants sustainable environments --- the settler who establishes communities. "Gain the Ultimate Edge by Working with a Business Coach" By : As business around the world has become increasingly competitive the demand for innovation, quicker service turnaround and compressed pricing models, has created an environment where business owners must be creative, develop new solutions and manage stressful transitions. "Give 'em the Pickle" By : Pickles are those special extra things you do to make people happy. It's a special phone call you make to your customer or a handwritten thank you note that you include with every order. "How Long Does It Take To Get A Business Going?" By : Question: What would you think of someone who said this to a five year old? "It's about time you start earning your keep! I want you to get out there and get a job so you can pay your share of the mortgage. And, while you're at it, here's the keys to the car". Doesn't make sense, does it? This person is either cruel, crazy, or out to lunch on the next planet over. This is exactly what many folks do to their new businesses. "It's Not What You Know, It's Who You Know!" By : In business, you often hear the statement "It's Not What You know, It's Who You know!" "Keeping Your Thinking Journey On Course" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Author Jack Trout in his book "In Search of the Obvious" explores an "over communicated world" in search of the obvious. 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?" "Learning Through Discovery" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride When we become adults, we put away childish things. Sadly and too often, we also lose our curiosity, our ability to learn, joyously, through discovery. To recapture the feeling that comes with discovery of something previously not experienced, you must return to the time when everything was appearing in your world for the first time. Allow yourself to be the child again in your mind. "Playing Your Way To Value Creation" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Price, cost, value — all cut from similar cloth but ending in very different garments. The first two arise from data analysis. Value, by contrast, demands thought. Too frequently, individuals approach this thinking with great seriousness, a practice which slows the process. Replace the seriousness with play and the resulting value creation --- for strategies, campaigns, projects, products and services --- is deeper and more powerful. "Questioning Your Perspective" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride For a moment, let's imagine. See us facing each other. I ask you to describe your hand. Pause yourself long enough to identify the position of your hand before you describe. Palm down? Palm up and facing you? Palm up and facing me? In what position do we have the same perspective, the same view? None of the mentioned positions! Now, ask what is the ideal position for us to take so we will have essentially the same view, the same perspective. "Simplifying Your Journey" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Life is a sustained journey composed of a range of journeys. 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. "T-Power #2 — Expressing Emotional Thinking" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Emotional thinking sits opposite informational thinking. Experience, attitudes, and assumptions color emotional thinking. Yet, rarely do we share our emotional thinking with others. The fear of attack and ridicule for even having emotional thoughts paralyzes many of even the greatest thinkers. None of us wants to be the fool. However, if emotional thoughts are not laid on the exploratory table, they simply explode unexpectedly if suppressed. "T-Power #4 — Producing "Getting-It-Done Thinking" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Many people approach "getting-it-done thinking" with excitement. We are going to make things happen. Action is close. Optimism is prevalent. Speculation abounds. Suggestions flow freely. Obstacles melt away. Value and benefits emerge. The challenge here is two-fold. Identify the actions to be taken, the value and benefits of those actions. Then, evaluate each action against what you are really trying to achieve. "T-Power #5 — Arousing New-Ideas Thinking" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride 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. "The Nuts' Manifesto": 5 Radical Business Rules That Fly in the Face of "Sensible" Thinking By : Lani and Allen Voivod When it comes to doing business and forging a successful life, are you a Sensible or a Nut? Discover the 5 rules that call the shots in the boardrooms of the Nuts' minds. These are the guiding principles that help Nuts innovate, break down barriers, and redefine what's possible when all rational thinking suggests otherwise. "Understanding People Through Hearing" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Each day sounds invade your personal worlds. Bells, whistles, chimes, screeches, horns; most you dismiss even without acknowledging. Babies crying, dogs barking, rocks sliding, winds roaring, waves crashing, doors closing; most you acknowledge, or even analyze, to determine a situation's urgency. Between these two extremes lies the hearing that people tend not to value. That is the hearing that requires consciously listening to humans. "What is Your Life Purpose?" By : Katrina Sawa For many entrepreneurs we start a business because we have a passion for delivering a product or service in some way or we want to make a bunch of money (it's nice if you can have both). "Wording Does Matter" — (It's All About The Thinking) By : Virginia McBride Names matter. We use them to establish identity. Appearances matter. We use them to show the world who we are. Titles matter. We put them on important things. Pictures matter. We post them on refrigerators, we put them in scrapbooks, we use them in commercials. For all these "matters," we take great care to polish, protect, position, promote. Still, one area of "matters" is repeatedly neglected and even abused — words. Words do matter. "Writing Problem Statements" — (It's All About the Thinking) By : Virginia McBride We need to ....., We should ......, We ought do ......, We must ....... — Oh what simple and common expressions!!!! They are generally spoken in the name of "problems" and "problem solving." People who use these expressions are posing their solutions to an undefined problem or even an unstated problem. They seek agreement and praise. However, none of them ever really solved any problem with this language. #1 Reason 75% of Organizational Change Efforts Fail & How YOU Can Be Part of the 25% that Succeed By : Jennifer Selby Long Have you ever tried to lead a major organizational change that failed?
