Re: Michael Ross and I had an Idea....
 
My take on the first issue:

organized...
clear...
detailed..
and gives you concrete tips...

why should you pay for someone to give you ideas?

look at it this way: if "time is money" then
any publication you can find which cuts the
research time is worth it...

Also ,since the publication ideas are ones
where you don't need any major skills to
start you can begin practicing small business
development skills and as you get each issue
you could integrate your interests with the
ideas or methodology provided...

I really liked the first issue...I think with
this format(weekly organized detailed study
of ideas and how to develop them) I'll be able
to find an area or action method to implement
some of my ideas.

Another thing-when people suggest business ideas on boards(not this one of course-smile)they
often leave out the critical details or the
key piece of information which you need to
implement the idea.

Definitely looking forward to future issues...

That's why...

You'll notice that everything covered in the issue of The Great Ideas Letter you received is, able to be put into action (tested) without taking away from whatever else you are doing.

Take Great Idea 1, for example. Even though we didn't have a Twist to that one, is there something in your area which the same technique could be applied? Bits of fossile from shale, indian arrow heads, volcano ash/rocks, etc.

Yes, it can be, Jim. Good point. But I like "creativityland"! It sure beats the pants off Disneyland.

> Ask me how I know. : )

Tell us some stories, Jim. I'll share one or two of my own. Yes, the really pathetic ones.

Have a GREAT day, Jim!

reframing of great ideas!
 
Great Idea 1 could be used at times
of disaster..(fires, floods)Not to
capitalize on someone elses fall...

mmmm...good point...

for that matter all the great ideas(1-4)
could be used during a disaster too...

the more I look at this "great ideas letter"
(i'll review it "17 times") the more I see...
Thanks Michael...
