At a time when larger organized and smaller businesses and the self employed need greater revenues and cost savings, new thought processes are the most valuable asset.

In this era when capital is tight, new ideas are needed every day.

Innovation is creating changes to a production process, services, or to products that create greater acceptance or efficiencies that should lead to increased profitability.

“The key to increasing your job security in these turbulent times is to make yourself more valuable. A key way to do that is to improve your creative problem-solving skills.” Church Frey InnovationTools.com

A key to creating a new business or improving your existing one is to find new processes, new services, or product changes that could help others save time, money, improve convenience or find more enjoyment.

“Executives surveyed call out creativity as the most important attribute needed in their people” – quotes from Church Frey InnovationTools.com

Carol Kobza has spent more than two decades fostering creative growth in organizations as diverse as Hallmark Cards…says that people need to be   “learning and finding the inner reserves of creativity they need to make their work meaningful and fulfilling.”*

Creativity is capital.  We all have this capital in abundance. If we can contribute this personal capital to the work place or the economic environment, we could receive real currency in return and more personal satisfaction.

The best source of tapping our “inner reserves” is to find our inspiration. How do we create a process to generate inspiration?

Creativity is right brain thinking applied to left brain knowledge. The logical fact oriented left hemisphere of the neo cortex understands the current existence of situations.  The right hemisphere is more oriented to spatial analysis and can connect with the limbic brain which is our emotional center.

The mind/ brain synchronicity can control the physical regulation and movement of our bodies but can also give us access to thoughts, sensations, revelations, epiphanies, and “ahas” outside the physical.

We are born with easy access to our creativity and display it daily in our adolescence. In fact, the limbic brain never matures which is why we often display childish emotions.

Because we are raised to color inside the lines and follow the rules and respect authority, most people lose their ability to color outside the lines.

The never ending well of new ideas is best unleashed by finding our inspiration.  Like BP couldn’t stop the flow of oil, inspiration is just as rich. Inspiration flows from the emotional side of our brain that creates a desire to express.

The left side of the brain knows “what is” and the right side can envision “what could be”.

How can you tap your reserves? You need more quiet time. You need to start reducing the unnecessary stimulus of digital and mobile devices. You need to establish your connection with nature and appreciation of who you are and why you are here.

You need to let go of the motivational goals of creating only for a reward. You need to develop a desire to create things that express who you are. These expressions have an emotional source that can coordinate with the left brain for logical, language, and technical output.

But the expression becomes creative whether it is art or business. Taping the artistic expression is a great way to find inspiration.

Art, crafts, literature, music, dance and even physical sports like surfing, hiking, running can connect and coordinate our brain centers to who we are and an appreciation of why we are here.

Inspiration is creation without a goal of rewards other than the opportunity to participate in the act of doing.

All expressions out of inspiration become emotional expressions. They could be art, they could be culinary, they could be literature or music, or they could be physical.  They could also be the source of running a business, a division, or a department.

The inspired person who has learned to express themselves in one area will find that it bleeds over to all activities. The inspired person is happier, more self satisfied, and wants others to enjoy the same feelings.

Today artists, athletes, entertainers, and business people express who they are and often find it very lucrative.

Business has plenty of people at minimum wage. If you want to rise higher on the pay scale become a creative problem solver or inspired innovator.
