Default How you can cash in on Other People's INGENUITY (OPI).

So, today, in an email from hiddenbusinessideas (Dien Rice), he wrote this:

There are over 300 business ideas and plans in the Hidden Business Ideas "archive" that you can put into action...

Many of them are quite ingenious... (I didn't come up with the ingenuity, but I recognized it and wrote about them, like the examples above!) I want to share these with you, so you can use them to profit from too...

You can use the ideas as they are... Or they can be modified and combined to create new ideas...


And I found this insightful, and started wondering, HOW? One thing I will share with you today is, my somewhat eclectic surfing, watching sites...not much of Tik Tok or reels of teens dancing...but I visit all the sites that Dien's brother mentions in his newsletter; THOMAS'S INNOVATION WRAP.

All the latest in tech. And I also watch the Why Files, with AJ and Hecklefish, where he covers conspiracy, UFO, ancient history, fun stuff.

Of course there is lotterypost where I have been a member for over 11 years, and YouTube to look for the odd, different, unusual, etc.

I've had my fill of talking head MARKETERS and I can no longer scroll to read anyone's brilliant copy. If I have to scroll, it is a hard NO for me right there, and I sleep well not worrying about what Guru offer I missed out on, believe me, there will be another "opportunity of a lifetime, or once in a lifetime" come around tomorrow morning, check your email.

And to my point, when you have a wide base of ideas to choose from, it makes it easier to see the INGENUITY and ask how one can use it in another area. For example, I used my Qual card from submarine service to create a Golf Card, for measuring progress. I used the instruments from Social Services, like IHP, IEP, (all plans of some sort) to create the Personal Program Plan, so one way to apply and use OPI, is to ask how could you use this on that, or the other.

You may not always come up with a way, but you might be able to borrow, twist and turn OPI, to your own profit.

Thanks Dien, good stuff, even in your sales pitches, ha!

Gordon

That's the truth! People think they need to be a genius, come up with some ingenious idea...

Hogwash!

Perhaps all you need is to find an ingenious idea... and adapt it!

We have your examples above!

Harvey Brody, in his course (as you know), talks about creating... or ACQUIRING... a toll position...

And how can you acquire one? Will it cost a lot of money?

Not necessarily!

You've talked before about the concept (from Harvey Brody) of "buying a cow, and paying for it with its own milk"...

Speaking of Harvey Brody. And TOLL POSITIONS.

You also wrote about some REAL examples in your "Fly Low and Collect the Dough" report...

People's heads should be exploding now... If they're not, then they haven't understood it!

We're sitting on a lot of dynamite, Gordon!

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Ideas I am NOT going to do or use.

Ideas are everywhere, free for the taking. For example, I'm wrapping up my summer lottery test, and most likely, will NOT pursue it as I imagined it...but may keep my toes in the water.

In gathering test results and feedback, some ideas which came flying at me which could be modified, and in some instances, Dien has written about in different uses...such as playing cards and cocktails recipes.

I have a deck of cards for the MegaMillions, Powerball, and Lucky for Life multi state lotteries, each deck could be customized for any given state, a winning ticket must be turned in to the state it was sold in. Also, some state specific decks, like Ohio Rolling Cash 5 deck...these to be used during scrying sessions, or divinations.

Also, I have dice. Lighted pens for remembering dreams...charts, graphs which could also be customized. Crystal balls too.

One idea, which we have explored, are cards (sports) with removable faces, so when a football player goes into portal, a whole new deck of cards doesn't have to be made, just peel off the face and put the new one on it.

All of these ideas are "tools to miners", which we have written about forever.

Also, just got off the phone with friend of the forum Steve D. who reports one of his advertising cards at a pizza shop brought in 50 customers with the coupon the first month...a shop that had been paying 400 bucks a month to be on a register tape, with ZERO returned.

This idea has huge legs, and is UNIQUE in co-op advertising, I told Steve he should charge 5k for the biz op and some hustler could do very well with it in their area.

Open yourself up to new ideas, and then sit and mix all the ideas together and see if anything NEW comes up.
