Actual for You - Is Your Idea Rut Hurting Your Business?
Last Summer the Federal Trade Commission put forth a report for the Franchise Industry; 432 pages of study. This report asks Franchise Industry participants to comment on only certain aspects of franchising which were addressed between 1995 to 1999. It is good to see that the FTC is finally doing something after 10-years of sitting on their rear ends with a stick up their butts, however one has to ask what about the issues between 1999 and 2005. Thus this exercise is completely flawed if it’s

We are bombarded with thousands of marketing messages daily…on television and the radio, on the internet, in magazines and newspapers, on billboards and other signs, and even at the bottoms and on the backs of receipts. The world is, indeed, a very noisy place. And in order to get heard, we need our marketing messages to be clear and concise.A vague message is one that isn’t easily understood – it doesn’t speak to a potential customer or client. To be successful in business, our mes
1. Take a different viewpoint - This may require some imagination but can be very rewarding. Imagine how different people may approach the problems in the business - it could be anyone from the elderly lady next door to the man on the street. The point here is the approach, not the solution. Seeing the same things from many different angles will unlock your brain and let you realize solutions that you may not have otherwise considered.
2. Make a flowchart of your business - it may take a while if you are unfamiliar with such things, but break every aspect down into its component processes. This will give you insights that you never dreamed of, and often the solutions will be so simple that you will be cursing for not seeing them sooner!

If you’ve been looking for a job for any length of time, you’ll notice there are many out there beyond your level of expertise. Why is that? Is it because of your education? Your lack of experience?

As a cleaning company we get called in to carry out builders cleans on new builds and refurbishments. Time and time again what we see is that the designer has had something built, laid or put in place solely on the grounds that it looks good with no regard as to how it will stand up to use or the practicalities of trying to keep it clean and looking good. They produce their design, see it through to the finish and then walk away. Only later does it become apparent that it is completely imprac

3. Break Things Down - Find out what the smaller problems are, and tackle them first. The experience you gain by solving them combined with the increasing efficiency of the business will make it much easier for you to tackle the larger problems when they arise.
4. Use A Different Media - If you usually brainstorm ideas and new products by writing them list form with a pen and pad, stop for a second and try to use sketches instead, or maybe even word process them. Working in slightly different ways like this can be a great way to warm up sections of the brain that aren't usually used, and using any visual method such as drawing or painting can be excellent stimulation.
5. Randomize it all - Take your list of ideas and draw rings around certain groups of them at random. Once you have several clusters of ideas grouped together at random, take each group and force yourself to find new ideas combining 2 or more of the ideas. This is an excellent way to trick your brain into breaking out of its creative comfort zone, and will often lead you to discoveries you wouldn't make otherwise.
6. Turn it on its head - Instead of making a list of problems with the business and trying to solve it that way, why not make a list of things that work well already, and try and make them work even better? This yet another way of
