Your ultimate goal in your business and your career is to earn as much money as possible and to achieve financial independence. All profit, all financial success in our society comes from “adding value” of some kind. When you add value, you put yourself into a position to capture some of that value in the form of increased income, profit or dividends. This is the basic law of all market economics, and like most basic laws, it is unknown or misunderstood by most people working in our society today. One of the questions you can ask in your mindstorming exercise is, “What can I do to increase my value to my customers today?” You might ask, “Who are my ideal customers? What can I do to attract more of my ideal customers into buying from me?” Best of all, you should ask, “What would I have to do to deserve more of exactly the kind of customers that I want to have?” What could you do more of, or start doing, to be more deserving of having more of the customers you really want? Add Value Continually Always be looking for ways to use your creativity to add value by doing things faster, better, cheaper or easier in some way. Just as the word “deserve” comes from the Latin roots “de” and “servus” which mean “from service” you should always be looking for ways to deserve greater rewards from serving your customers better in some way. In the final analysis, as a member of society, as a “player” in our economic system, your riches and rewards will come from your ability to serve other people better than your competitors. Use your intelligence and your creativity every single day to find ways to make yourself more valuable to your company, your industry and your world. This is the true hallmark of personal genius. Unlock Your Inborn Creativity: 1. Select your most important goal, or biggest problem, and write it at the top of a sheet of paper as question. Then discipline yourself to generate 20 answers to that question, and implement one of those answers immediately . 2. Approach every problem systematically by defining it clearly, developing possible solutions, making a decision and then implementing the solution as soon as possible. 3. Think on paper. Write down every detail of a problem or goal and look for simple, practical ways to solve the problem or achieve the goal. 4. Identify the best and worst things that could happen to you in the months ahead. Determine what you could do to reduce the effects of the worst outcomes and maximize the benefits or likelihood of the best possible outcomes. Charles Alvarez
