Michael Angier: "Unprecedented innovation"
Being an entrepreneur is fundamentally a creative venture
Michael Angier [left] of Success Networks International, among other leaders, thinks we are living in a period with continual opportunities to develop new ventures.
In his article Innovation: Ideas Are Cheap - But Extremely Valuable, Angier writes, “I believe the world is entering a time of unprecedented innovation. We’re experiencing some of the greatest prosperity we’ve ever known. Productivity is at an all-time high. And when basic needs are met, it’s easier to be creative.
“Innovation is not only for so-called ‘creative’ minds. We’re all creative, and each of us has the ability to generate ideas to solve problems in our businesses and improve our relationships. Innovation is nothing more than taking information and reorganizing it in new ways.
“It’s important to take some of our increased productivity and use some of the time saved to think and create. Ask questions. Dig deep. Think about what you want and what others might want. What problems need to be solved and how can we solve them? Remember that it’s okay to borrow ideas as long as you don’t borrow them all from one place.”
Angier concludes we have to actualize creativity, and quotes Arnold Glasgow: “Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.”
