Direct new ideas to Idea Bin by saying:

"That's a great idea. Could you put it in Idea Bin?"

When you plan agenda, leave time at end of meeting to check Idea Bin. You will find that many of new ideas were resolved during meeting. If possible, deal with remaining ideas that have merit or place them on future agendas.

Use these techniques to bring your meeting back to issue on your agenda.

This is third of a seven part article on Managing Monsters in Meetings.

For example, if you desire money, ask yourself what you would like to do with it? Is it security or recognition that you hope money will give you? If so, then security or recognition would be result. You may receive that even without money.

If you have clear picture of a desired result, summarise it in a few key words and form a picture in your mind that represents it. This process is called visualisation. It engages your left and right brain, your conscious and unconscious self, and unites its combined forces behind a common goal.

Some people are great in designing beautiful life purposes and plans, but if it comes down to bring them into reality, they never get done. You may know this phenomenon from all great New Year resolutions that never come true.

Do you have will power, persistence or desire to manifest your life purpose? Are you just lacking information or experience how to realise it?

On my website, I offer books, free articles and a free course with instructions of how to find your life purpose, set goals and take necessary steps.

If you feel you don't work well just on your own, I offer distance courses on Selfgrowth, money, love, health, other areas or life in general. You can find and set goals for those areas that are relevant for you and manifest them in your life.
