Marketing needs Six Sigma Methodology to Improve
Marketing needs to do a better job of using statistics and especially variation. When I start talking numbers to people, and what they mean, I get looked at like someone that is just trying to complicate a creative process. Improvement is about numbers. Measurement is about numbers. The truth is, marketing is about numbers. So why not employ more of the Six Sigma methodology?

Snakes in a Playpen: Why U.S. Policy Regarding H-1B and EB-5 Visas is Outdated and Ineffective
In an earlier post from the spring I had talked about the manner in which inspiration usually hit me in terms of ideas for the articles that ultimately find their way to the pages of this as well as other blogs.

Is a Slimy Secret Blocking Your Growth?
If you have ever dreamed of a smooth-running business which brought in abundant income and ran smoothly? Is your reality a mind-boggling list of projects, a bank account that seems to have an automatic drain and no promise of a change?
The Wet Blankets of Profitability and Practicality
I recently had a coaching session with a client who's been a bit stuck in his life, even though he's become clear of his life purpose. He realizes that it's time to create a powerful purpose project that will inspire him forward in his life but can't quite get it in gear. He even knows what the project could be but he keeps stopping himself because he can't figure out how to make the project profitable or practical. For me, considering these two 'Ps' too early in the creative process is the kiss of death. It's like placing two wet, soggy blankets over top of your kindling and wood and then not being able to figure out why you can't get the fire started.

Creativity is a Powerful Way of Thinking and Being
I often hear people say, "I’m not a creative person!" In truth, as humans each of us is inherently creative by virtue of being part of Nature - the essence of creativity itself. I believe to be creative means to use what comes naturally to you with the responsibility to share that gift with the world. Uncovering your unique gift and learning how to tap into your creative energy are defining steps that allow for the release of ideas and desires that further enhance your ability to create, resulting in the potential of living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Understanding the potential of your unique creativity, and then actively and consciously creating leads to greater success in manifesting the results you want for your life.

Thinking In and Out of the Box
The current buzz phrase among business and creative types is, "Thinking out of the box." This means that you think in non-orthodox, non-traditional ways that lead you to new and creative conclusions. This is a powerful tool, as far as it goes, because it allows you to use your entire creative mind without limiting yourself to the way things have always been done. However, while you're thinking in the new "out of the box" way, don't forget that there are some pretty great concepts in that old box. Traditional thinking at one time was someone's creative "out of the box" thinking. Because it was successful, that thought became traditional or "in the box."
