I hear it allrepparttar time. "I want to expand my business, but I don’t know how." Many online small business owners have this challenge. In all actuality, it’s not a business problem... rather a creativity problem.

For any given industry, there are dozens of ways to expand, reach new customers, develop new products, and offer more services. However,repparttar 105378 struggle comes with trying to think of new ideas. "Where do I expand to?" "How do I reach new customers?" "What products or services should I add?" These are all questions that can seem overwhelming to someone stuck sitting in front of a computer all day.

One way to open your mind to new possibilities is to get creative. When your creative juices start flowing, all sorts of ideas pop into your mind. Some may seem silly or inconceivable, but others will cause you to have "light bulb moments" where you’re amazed that you didn’t think ofrepparttar 105379 idea before.

To breakrepparttar 105380 monotony and openrepparttar 105381 floodgate of creativity, try doing some ofrepparttar 105382 following. They are all "kid-like" activities designed to eliminaterepparttar 105383 humdrum business thinking you’ve become accustomed to and free your mind to unlimited possibilities.

How Do I Justify This!

Written by Pat Redmond


People buy for emotional reasons and justify their decisions with whatever logic they can find or create, no matter how ridiculous. -Joe Vitale

So you want to buy an airplane! What's stopping you? Perhaps I can list a few things:

1. My spouse doesn't fly and doesn't support my flying habit.

2. I don't do enough flying. . . it's probably cheaper to rent.

3. I'm not rich.. . How could I afford an airplane of my own?

O.K. Let's acknowlege that emotionally, WE WANT THE AIRPLANE! After all, who wouldn't? What could be more desireable than a brand new airplane, everything working, smell of new leather, and of courserepparttar turning heads every time you land your new airplane?

Now comesrepparttar 105376 justification part. We'll start with

1: My spouse doesn't fly and doesn't support my flying habit.

Unfortunately, this one's all too common. However, there are a few things you can do to enroll your spouse inrepparttar 105377 program.

Make it a practice of flying to places that your spouse wants to go! Skiprepparttar 105378 pancake breakfasts and fly-ins. Fly to destinations that are unrelated to aviation. For a list of some great places, visit

Try a "Pinch Hitter" course. Sometimes (I can speak from personal experience here) a good instructor can "hook" your spouse and before you know it you'll be forking out additional money for flight lessons. This is not a bad thing. . . With both of you involved in this activity, you'll win support for your purchase!

Who knows? Maybe your spouse prefers your absence and will endorse your involvement in a time consuming activity!

2. I don't do enough flying. . . it's probably cheaper to rent.
