Nobody Ever Listens To My Ideas!

Doesn’t it just tick you off when you hear one of your employees whine, “Nobody ever listens to my ideas.”

Of course, they give you half-baked ideas and expect you to take the ball and run with it, you know, to hammer out the details, test the processes and put them into action. Even if they wanted to work with their idea, they have no clue how to go about it. 

But you are busy and you don’t have time to do their work. So you tell them to flesh out their ideas and bring them back to you. That, of course, leads to a…

 Stalemate.

So, your business loses two ways.  Some ideas that are trashed might prove quite useful if properly developed and implemented.

And as if that isn’t bad enough, casting aside employees’ ideas erodes trust and breaks down morale- your employees feel unappreciated and frustrated.  

Result: You, the small business owner has to come up with all of the ideas yourself.

Manager after manager has told me that most of their employees also believe they have great ideas. And that these ideas largely go to waste.  

These ideas go to waste because creativity- the kind of creativity that will make you money- is largely misunderstood.

Most people think that creativity is the “blank slate” kind of thing that artists do. You know, sit in a room and wait for the “eureka” to come down from above. In reality, this is an environment that very few of us get to work in.

Adaptation is the form of creativity that is cheaper, faster and more certain of success. 

You see, adaptation is really about 90% of the kind of creativity that should go on in business. Building on other people’s good ideas is fast. Pure invention is slow and uncertain and costly.

I provide the checklists and flowcharts to clearly lay out the steps so your employees can implement great money-making ideas for your small business.

They’ll feel happier and more appreciated- and you will be laughing all the way to the bank
