Are There Any New Ideas?
In your last Successful Marketing Strategy I wrote about creating a fundamental checklist of success by using Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich as a template.
A second type of checklist to construct and use is what I call a ‘Practical Creativity Checklist.’ There are a number of methods for rearranging the existing and old into the different and new that actually account for most innovations in the world. There may not be anything new under the sun.
