Terri King Speaks

Got problems? Sure. We all do.

What we don’t seem to have enough of sometimes are solutions, right?

When you’ve exhausted every logical answer, perhaps a look around might pay off.

Solutions can be found in the most unrelated places to the problem.

It has been said that Henry Ford got the idea for the first assembly line construction of a car from a slaughter house.

3 exercises that might generate a creative solution:

1. Go ahead and explore a subject you’ve always wanted to know more about but couldn’t come up with a good reason to spend the time on it.

2. Choose a successful person you have an interest in. Learn something of their challenges and how they surmounted them.

3. Pick up a magazine you wouldn’t normally read and thumb through it. Observe the articles. What are they writing about? Observe the advertisements. What are they selling?

The idea is to walk far enough away from the trees that you might be able to look back and see the forest.

Happy hunting.
