CHAPTER 1

The First Real Chapter

(Finally!)

Yes, you are creative!

Have you ever had an idea? Sure you have.
Have you ever solved a problem? Absolutely. Probably a few today.
So you have the ability to come up with ideas and solve problems.
Great. Now, answer this question: Do you get the idea that you’re
looking for every time? Do you get the solution to your problem every
time? When you need it? With little effort or pain?
That’s why you’re reading this book. It’s not that you don’t have
creative capability; everyone has infinite creative capacity. I mean, just
remember when you were a kid... you lived in your imagination
almost 100 percent of the time. It’s not that you don’t possess creative-
ness. It’s that you have an inconsistency in accessing it, a discrepancy
in coming up with big ideas when you need them. That’s what this
book will help you do. This book will help you become a more con-
scious, therefore more consistent, creative thinker.

A PLANET OF UNCONSCIOUS THINKERS

What do you do on your best days, when you have a great idea? If you
knew, wouldn’t you do it all the time to improve your hit rate?
Is it something that you don’t do on those days when you have a great
idea? Are you at all aware of what you don’t do on those good days?
Is it what you don’t do on the bad days? Perhaps it’s what you do on
the bad days that’s getting in the way.
