Creative Problem Solving
by: Stephen Pierce
So, you have a problem that you need to solve quick. You have agonized over this issue for hours, days, months, or even years and you still can?t resolve it. Well, don?t worry my friend; the answer is already within you. You simply need to call forth your creative energy in order to bring the answer into your focused mind.
How do you do this? It is easy. You simply utilize creative problem solving, that?s how. Creative what? Creative problem solving. You see, creative problem solving is the powerful act of utilizing internal out-of-the box creativity to solve everyday problems.
Creativity that is already inside of you and the good news is that it can be done by anyone with any type of problem. It matters not if you?re a toddler or a sassy sexy citizen, it matters not if you are a housewife or a neurosurgeon, you can solve problems creatively and you can do it without stressing out. All you have to do is follow these basic creative problem solving steps:
1. Visualize ultimate success. Don?t dwell on negative thinking for doing so will block your creative energy. Instead, you should always revel in the fact that the answer is already within you. You simply have to pull it forward from your creative mind. Visualizing failure will block your creative energy and visualizing success will bring it forward.
2. Be still and know that the answer is within you. There is absolutely no need to fear that the problem can?t be solved. The answer will come to you if you stop worrying and take a more relaxed approach. Be quiet and still and allow the creative ideas to come forth. In addition, always be willing to just sit still and let your thoughts wonder freely.
3. Be patient. Don?t rush the creative problem solving process. It sometimes takes a while for your creativity to solve a problem so don?t become frustrated if the problem isn?t resolved right away. Instead, enjoy the creative process for what it really is, an internal process and be open and receptive to allowing those new solutions to come forward.
4. Create a positive environment. The creative mind flourishes in a healthy and positive atmosphere so if you are having a hard time creatively solving a problem then you may need to create a more positive and uplifting environment. This can be done by cleaning up, adding plants, burning aromatherapy candles, or doing whatever you can to create a creative and positive environment. For once you have a creative environment in place; your creativity problem solving skills will burst forward.
5. Take time away. If possible, take some time away to really allow your creative problem solving abilities to materialize. Sometimes you need a change of scenery and other times you just need time away. However, you must be willing to give your spirit what it needs, a mini vacation to sort through your thoughts and come up with the perfect solution.
6. Engage others in the creative process. If you get stuck and can?t seem to get out of a rut, it may be a good idea to discuss your problem with others. Sometimes they can provide creativity problem solving techniques that will help you. They may also be able to solve the problem for you. The important thing however is to only enlist the help of like minded and positive people like you. You don?t want to ask someone to assist that will instill negative energy into your mind.
7. Meditate. Meditation is one of the best ways to engage your creative problem solving skills. By elevating yourself to a different level of consciousness you become more intoned with your thought processes and can truly see the connection better than when you are distracted. For this reason, meditation is a great way to engage creative problem solving.
By following the above basic steps, you can and will creatively solve any problem that may come your way. You?ll solve problems with confidence and less stress than if you simply followed traditional methods. So, enjoy the problem solving process by using creative problem solving techniques now and for the rest of your life!

Niche And Grow Rich
Niche And Grow Rich
by: Andr? Anthony
Unless you've been living under an Internet rock, you've probably heard the buzz about Niche Marketing. Right now it's the hottest marketing topic online.
Is it a new concept?
Well on the Internet maybe, but if like me, you've been involved in direct response marketing in the 'Bricks and Mortar' world then it isn't - that's the way we've done things since time immemorial.
So what's this Niche Marketing thing all about?
If you have ever taken Marketing 101 then you'll have heard of the old marketing adage : "Find a need and fill it" - that's what "Niche Marketing" is all about. Finding a "focussed" group of people, with a specialized interest, eager to buy (The Niche) and promoting a suitable product or service to all those interested in buying it (Marketing).
Let me give you a few examples of these Niches :
- Recipes
- Golf
- Fishing
- Health and...

Organize Your Christmas Shopping
Organize Your Christmas Shopping
by: Nicole Dean
Grab a notebook. Grab a pen. It's time to get serious about your Christmas shopping by making your list (and checking it twice).
Make a list of the people you'll be buying for this year. Leave space between each person?s name. Now go back through the list and write down gift ideas and a rough dollar amount you?re willing to spend on each person.
Example:
1. Aunt Fran - Collects lighthouses, loves golf - $30.00
2. Beth - Candles, bath and body products - $20.00
3. Joe - Something for his new truck, loves fishing - $50.00
Bring your notebook shopping with you. It will help you to stay focused on who you need to shop for, a general idea of what you're looking for and your price range. Making a detailed list like this will prove invaluable in keeping you organized and on budget with your Christmas shopping. As you shop, cross off each person on your list. Be sure to...

Make Houses for Sale More Appealing
Make Houses for Sale More Appealing

Making Houses for Sale Look Like Homes
Are any of your houses for sale out there? If so, beware the appraiser! Appraisers not only use objective criteria for evaluating houses (i.e. location, structural integrity, they also use subjective criteria (i.e. landscape, paint, overall appearance).
Buyers depend on appraisers and inspectors, as a rule, to check out construction details but tend to rely on their own feelings and impressions of how houses look and feel to make their buying decisions. Five tips for positively influencing those decisions with ease follow.
1. Houses that are clean and clutter-free are more attractive than houses that are not. Many of us, who live with clutter, lose sight of that fact. Others of us live with clutter because we believe ourselves too busy to tidy things up on a regular basis. If you find managing clutter to be overwhelming, check your bookstore...

This is Your time to Shine Bright
This is Your time to Shine Bright
by: Debbie Friedman
I personally love the analogy of candles on a birthday cake.
Like a candle on a birthday cake, each and every one of us has come here with a special light, special talents or gifts, to contribute to the celebration of life.
If we are playing small, ignoring our gifts or barely living, our light cannot shine bright and the celebration is diminished.
When we all step into our full power, realizing our hopes and dreams, our lights shine bright and the celebration is truly remarkable!
We are all here to BE an expression of higher wisdom.
When we all begin to claim our power, live the life we came here to live, treat each other with respect, dignity, love, kindness and compassion, there can be no darkness!
The darkness we see on our planet now is full of fear, worry, control, anger, and hatred.
This is lower vibrational energy that cannot...
