Business: Forcing Inspiration

Forcing Inspiration

Written by Kal Bishop

Most people, when they have to complete a creative endeavour, often tend to wait for inspiration. It is not unusual to find, therefore, that most people take inordinately long to complete projects or never finish them at all. Look at repparttar

infinite number of people with half-finished first-drafts under their bed. This reveals a lack of understanding of how repparttar 103098

mind and creativity work, for repparttar 103099

best way to find a bucket-load of inspiration is to force it out.

1)Engaging in repparttar 103100 Task. Simply engaging in repparttar 103101 task generates ideas. By defining repparttar 103102 work process, people can frame repparttar 103103 mind for repparttar 103104 coming task and keep work flowing.

2)Absorption in repparttar 103105 project. Absorption in a project creates inspiration for other, similar projects. Screenwriters know that they will come up with lots of good ideas for other screenplays while they are working on repparttar 103106 present one.

3)Blocks. One reason for a lack of inspiration is that repparttar 103107 creator suffers from any of repparttar 103108 many forms of evaluation apprehension. By forcing engagement in and completing repparttar 103109 project, that creator can leapfrog blocks, which progressively decline with further projects. Confidence comes from having undergone a set of positive successful experiences.

4)Competencies. Another reason for not embarking on projects is repparttar 103110 lack of developed competencies. Competencies build up gradually over a set of positive experiences:

i)The experience curve shows us that in repparttar 103111 early stages, relative lack of experience, knowledge and refined methodology limits performance to sub-optimal levels. With time these factors improve and productivity increases exponentially. ii)Subliminal and subconscious learning – when we are motivated by an endeavour we will become good at it by working at it on various cognitive levels. iii)Subliminal and subconscious perception – many skills and actions are initially learnt with much conscious effort, then, with practice, they come easily and smoothly. After complete automisation, paying attention may actually be detrimental.

This Is A "No Real Estate Guru Zone"

Written by Mark Walters

I am stunned when I hear that many of repparttar

so called real estate gurus are charging from $3,000 to $15,000 for their seminars and "mentoring". Has repparttar 103097

world gone mad?

As a real estate investor and author I am often asked if I can recommend these real estate seminars. I answer with a question... "What have you done on your own to learn about real estate investing?" Then I offer repparttar 103098 following suggestions:

Go to your public library and read all repparttar 103099 books on real estate investing that have been published in repparttar 103100 last ten years. Many of repparttar 103101 gurus have written books where they explain their investing techniques... repparttar 103102 same ones they present in their high priced seminars. Libraries are FREE!

Visit a few used books stores and you will find good books and often cassette tape courses on real estate investing. They will cost just a few dollars.

On repparttar 103103 internet you will find a number of real estate investing forums. Here you can interact with investors of all experience levels. Someone will ask a question and they often will get very good answers from a number of experienced investors.

If you visit these forums and read repparttar 103104 questions and answers for a few weeks you will find that you are receiving a very good investing education. You will soon get a clear picture of what's working now. You will see what others are doing successfully. Soon you will know what questions you need answered and you can ask for help. And it is all FREE.

We would all like an expert to take our hand and lead us into risk free real estate investing success. The gurus recognize this and offer their seminar suckers... excuse me, I mean seminar STUDENTS... expensive "mentoring" programs. Trust me... you can get better advice free, on internet real estate forums. Just do a Google search for "real estate forums".

Real estate investor clubs are another excellent place to get help. With so much interest in real estate most every city of any size has at least one real estate "club". Just do a Google search for "real estate clubs".
