True leaders create space for individuals to be passionate about their work and feel a sense of ownership. Nobody wants to be managed, bossed or supervised. We must inspire creativity in our people. Those ideas are the backbone of a culture of continuous improvement and a culture where people feel like they matter. Michael Gelb is the author of books such as How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and Innovate Like Edison. He has been applying the principles of genius thinking to personal, leadership and organizational development for more than 40 years. He has worked to inspire creativity in the workplace and his journey led him to our friend and Everybody Matters co-author, Raj Sisodia. Together, they wrote The Healing Organization: Awakening the Conscience of Business to Help Save the World. On this podcast, Michael talks about inspiration, creativity and how that leads to helping people in organizations feel like they matter.

Work doesn't have to be devoid of meaning and fulfillment. You can lead a meaningful and purpose-driven life (and find your purpose) and your work and career can be a valuable part of it!   Michael Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci and the Healing Organization shows you how to find more fulfilling work, more meaningful work, and how to pull more meaning out of your work.   Key Points Discussed:  What we can do at work to begin to change the world. Being more successful by being consistently kind and focusing on the needs of those around us. Shifting businesses to the notion of stakeholders rather than just shareholders. How do we as individuals choose which companies to work for to support that which supports us? Planned obsolescence and how exploitative it is of customers and the earth. What we can do when we are in a company that is performing shock experiments on its employees and customers? What do we do if we're in the barrel and can we actually make a difference when we're feeling we can't? Out of all companies, which one expresses the most positive story or best model for us to understand moving forward? Healing ourselves and aligning our daily lives around a higher intention. The truly human leadership by Bob Chapman at Barry Wehmiller companies. The power of an idea that is just right for its time.   Visit: https://michaelgelb.com/    To find out more visit: https://amzn.to/3qULECz - Order Michael Sandler's book, "AWE, the Automatic Writing Experience" www.automaticwriting.com  - Automatic Writing Experience Course www.inspirenationuniversity.com - Michael Sandler's School of Mystics https://inspirenationshow.com/ https://www.dailywoohoo.com/ - Sign up for my FREE daily newsletter for high-vibration content. …….

"Brain researchers estimate that your unconscious data base outweighs the conscious on an order exceeding ten million to one. This data base is the source of your hidden, natural genius. In other words, a part of you is much smarter than you are. The wise people regularly consult the smarter part." - Michael J. Gelb / Author of "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vince and Discover Your Genius" Read on, this is for individuals, entrepreneurs and for those looking to influence culture in the corporate space. Meditation is the gateway to your subconscious mind which is where you'll discover your connection, your unity, with Infinite Intelligence.

Meditation and mindfulness is now mainstream and even a part of corporate life and culture here and now in the twenty-first century. There are many ways to meditate and many objectives one might have by entering into a quiet and tranquil state of consciousness. On this show, I explain the steps you can take to access your own fertile field of infinite potential where you can plant the seeds for what you want to experience in your life and the visible world of form.

Saya membahas buku How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci karya Michael J. Gelb. Buku ini membahas cara berpikir orang jenius. Apakah kamu tahu siapa Leonardo da Vinci? Buat yang belum tahu, da Vinci adalah pelukis terkenal di balik Mona Lisa dan the Last Supper. Menariknya, dia tidak hanya ahli di bidang seni, tapi juga berbagai bidang yang lain misalnya, anatomi, botani, teknik militer, dan sebagainya. Karya da Vinci sangat terkenal dan juga kontroversial. Dia tidak boleh mengikuti jejak ayahnya sebagai akuntan, karena dia merupakan anak di luar nikah. Namun di masa depan, da Vinci merupakan salah satu seniman dan pemikir terbesar sepanjang masa. Kita bisa belajar, bagaimana da Vinci tidak membatasi pengetahuannya hanya di satu bidang yaitu seni, tapi juga berusaha melebarkan pengetahuannya ke bidang yang lain. Kita akan belajar bagaimana berpikir seperti Da Vinci.

The grand finale of the Leonardo da Vinci genius series! Connessione - systems thinking - is the ability to make connections between very different things. If you are an artist of any kind, you MUST master connessione. Artists must think outside the box in order to share their beautiful gifts with innovation and impact.

This is part 6 of the 7-part discussion of Michael J. Gelb's amazing book How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: 7 Steps to Genius Every Day. In this session, we discuss Leonardo Da Vinci's principle of corporalita - the cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise. As artists, we must optimize our health and fitness in order to have long, productive careers. Leonardo da Vinci was ahead of his time in promoting holistic wellness. We can learn from his balanced approach, and use it to develop our own protocols. As always, I go through an assessment to help you determine your level of corporalita. At the end, I discuss the various diets I have experimented with. I discuss the major pros and cons of each so that you can learn from my mistakes and develop a plan that works best for you. @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner www.RavensFineArt.com

In this episode I talk about Leonardo da Vinci's notions of Arte/Scienza, the balance between art and science. This is essentially the theory of left and right-brain dominance. I provide a survey to help you see where you fall on the scale between left and right brain thinking. I end with a sincere encouragement to Artists to step up to the plate and be the thought leaders they are absolutely meant to be. https://www.RavensFineArt.com https://www.RavensFineArtProducts.com @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Like-Leonardo-Vinci/dp/B01N2GFNQM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=7FL74ZGBIUQ2&keywords=how+to+think+like+leonardo+da+vinci&qid=1637872675&qsid=144-8441627-5942401&sprefix=how+to+think+like+Leo%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-3&sres=0440508274%2C0440508827%2CB01N2GFNQM%2C0007169655%2CB00UBDSMBA%2CB00SCUXWTQ%2CB071S8BNDP%2CB08QBB3MTG%2C1413326951%2C1413328202%2CB07YLCK37V%2C1647399416%2C0974934429%2CB08PPFZYD1%2CB07F9YYR62%2C2511046962&srpt=ABIS_BOOK (How To Think like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day) Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain https://faso.com/ref/103033 (Create a beautiful fine art website for your business here.)

Are you an artist, writer, performer, or other creative? Join me as I explore Michael J. Gelb's fascinating book How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. This book is a deep dive into the genius of Leonardo da Vinci as applicable to today's creative free thinker. How comfortable are you with paradox, ambiguity, nuance, and uncertainty? This aspect of genius is important for the artist to develop and maintain. Can you see Light in the midst of Darkness? Can you see beauty in what people call "ugly?" Can you find peace in the midst of uncertainty? Let's learn from Leonardo da Vinci as we explore Sfumato - literally "going up in smoke," or, more practically, a willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty. https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Like-Leonardo-Vinci/dp/0440508274/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24R3C6EY0Q48I&keywords=how+to+think+like+leonardo+da+vinci&qid=1637296989&qsid=144-8441627-5942401&sprefix=how+to+think+like+Leon%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-1&sres=0440508274%2C0440508827%2C0007169655%2CB00UBDSMBA%2CB01N2GFNQM%2CB00SCUXWTQ%2CB071S8BNDP%2CB08QBB3MTG%2C1413326951%2C1413328202%2CB07YLCK37V%2C1647399416%2C0974934429%2CB07F9YYR62%2C2511046962%2C1789291585&srpt=ABIS_BOOK (Get the Book) (This is not an affiliate, I just want to share) www.RavensFineArtProducts.com @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner www.RavensFineArt.com

This video explores the third of Leonardo da Vinci's seven Da Vincian principles of genius, according to Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. Sensazione is Italian for the senses. In this episode, I talk about the five senses, why they are so important for artists and creatives, and why they are in danger of going extinct in today's modern society. I finish up with fun exercises to expand the senses - plus a special bonus tip for parents. With Leonardo as our guide, I believe we can all level up our genius quotient! You can find the book here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Like-Leonardo-Vinci/dp/0385323816/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1636693061&sr=8-1 Podcast version of the show: https://www.RavensFineArtPodcast.com Art Prints: https://www.RavensFineArtPrints.com Email: Raven@RavensFineArt.com

In Part 2 of the series, we will be discussing the second element of the seven principles of genius as gleaned from Michael J. Gelb's book How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. This second principle is called Dimostrazione, putting theoretical knowledge into practice. As artists, we may learn many different techniques, philosophies, principles, rumors, and myths. It is up to us, as artist pioneers, to test all theories, and discover what works best for us. Join the discussion and uncover your own genius. @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner (Instagram; art works in progress) www.RavensFineArt.com (original art) www.RavensFineArtPrints.com (t-shirts and prints)

Today our expert guest is Michael J. Gelb, the world's leading authority on applying genius thinking to personal and organizational development. Michael is a pioneer in the fields of creative thinking, leadership, innovation, and executive coaching. He's a senior fellow at the Center for Humanistic Management and a member of the Advisory Board for Leading People and Organizations at the Fordham University Gabelli School of Business. He was honored as “Brain of the Year” (1999) by the Brain Trust Charity, including other recipients such as Steven Hawking, Garry Kasparov, and Edward De Bono. His 17 books have been translated into 25 languages and have sold over one million copies. When he read Viktor Frankl's “Man's Search for Meaning” at 14 years old, Michael became inspired to find purpose in helping others find meaning in their lives. There was a lot of division and racial tension, and Michael was looking for solutions — both for the world and himself. Being a consultant for businesses was the farthest thing from his mind at first, but as he studied, it slowly dawned on him that business was the most powerful force in the world. And by focusing on that, he could make the most significant impact possible.   Michael felt his life intersect with Leonardo da Vinci in several ways. Earlier in his life, his grandmother, a painter herself, introduce him to da Vinci. Later, he and a colleague would talk about him at length. More and more, he began telling stories about da Vinci. After being invited to speak in Florence, he pitched the idea of speaking about how to think like Leonardo da Vinci. That gave him six months to figure it out before he had to speak! You can do this process with any figure you admire, whether that's a historical figure or someone you know. One of the most effective ways to develop yourself is to study others. If you want to follow the same steps Michael did to think like da Vinci, you have to ask the magic question: What are they trying to teach us? In the case of Leonardo da Vinci, when Michael read his work with that question in mind, he came up with: Endless curiosity: To get endless energy as an adult, you have to awaken your childlike imagination, marry it with your adult logic, and revitalize your curiosity. Try the “100 Questions” exercise. Give yourself around an hour, take out some sheets of paper, and without stopping to think, write 100 questions out. The hardest part is building up the energy to have a constant creative output. Once you practice it, coming up with ideas isn't that hard. What's hard is putting them into action and communicating them with other people. Demonstrate through your own experience: You must be an original thinker. The biggest challenge to independent thinking today is an overabundance of information. The best way to do this is to learn to think through essential ideas from at least three perspectives. Sharpen your senses, learn to appreciate beauty, and learn to make life more beautiful. When we appreciate beauty, we inform our creative expression.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “There is a source of creativity, a source of genius. It is the source of our awareness. If everyone just, at this moment, contemplates their response to the simple question, ‘Are you aware?' Obviously, immediately, you say, ‘Yeah, oh course.' And I say, ‘How do you know?' Where do you go to look to notice that you are aware? There's no place you go. You just are. And learning to access that source of awareness, which is always present — so when we talk about connecting with genius, it sounds like something you have to go through years of training and do all this — no, it's present right now. It's there for everybody. And then yes, there are ways to make ourselves more attuned to it, like the hundred questions, like the Qigong exercises I teach, like everything that's in all the books. But the main point is it's not something you don't have that you have to get. It's something you already have, and you just need to wake up to it.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci is an incredibly interesting book that examines how da Vinci became an expert in so many areas AND was so far ahead of his time. Leonardo did several things that make him an “AND champion.” He embraced ambiguity as he was eager to be both humble and full of pride in his work, for instance. He was extremely curious. Leonardo would demonstrate this many time over by finding a subject and studying it intensely for months or years.

Michael Gelb is one of the world’s leading creativity teachers. He’s also a qi gong and aikido master who wrote one of my favorite books: “How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci.” In this book, he teaches us the art of creating connection. Big Ideas we explore include how to optimize our ability to connect (practice with the little moments!), The Pygmalion Effect (aka the self-fulfilling prophecy), the importance of centering for conflict resolution, and how our addiction to digital devices (ADD) is leading to attention deficit disorder (ADD) which is leading to troubles in connecting and what to do about it.

Michael was so energetic as a kid that he got kicked out of nursery school. He has a core of curiosity that lead him to create his own business geared toward serving people in ways that are aligned with things that he liked to do. The core aspect of Michael’s success and fulfillment thus far is due to the connections and relationships he’s developed over the course of his career. Communication skills are not getting better, they are actually getting worse. Technology is great for some things but it’s eroding the way we connect with each other as humans. What is your definition of connection? We are networked, but not connected. We have access to information, but not to empathy. Sometimes an information onslaught makes it harder to connect to ourselves, let alone each other. Technology is addictive. It’s taking your mind away, instead of your organs in the way cigarettes do. Have a digital sunset each day, and take a day off entirely every once in awhile. What are the seven different skillsets that have been broken by technology? The one factor that is the greatest predictor of health, wealth, and longevity is connection. Emotions are contagious, be careful what you catch and you spread. Narcissism ends up being very expensive in business, the new model is making the world a better place and making people happy consistently. Treat people with respect, and you will engage and motivate the people you work with and work for. How do introverts create new relationships? Whatever your personality type is, it’s important to do the opposite of whatever your natural inclination is. Growth comes from getting out of your comfort zone. Looking at the world from a different perspective is a core skill of leadership. What does that kind of discipline look like in practice? If you’re introverted, go up to five people you don’t know in a room and introduce yourself. What starts out as anxiety turns into exhilaration when you realize you are doing something you’ve never done before. Becoming a successful and wiser human being includes pushing your boundaries, especially with something that has a business application. Reference: How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day, Michael Gelb Michael’s Takeaway Write down your life purpose. Write down the major areas of your life and map it out, then write down the most important goal in each area of your mind map. Put your goals into the context of what drives you, when you have a higher purpose you liberate way more energy to make it happen.     Links: michaelgelb.com Thank you for listening!

We’ve all been there but that resistance stops here and now. The POWER of airing your vulnerability revealed at…[28:16]. The liberation wave.

Tired of going through the same motions, filling your day with repetitive actions yet waiting for a breakthrough. You want something different, something unique, something YOU!!! But how do you find the breakthrough, the spark that's been missing? Where do the brilliant ideas come from? Do they just fall from the sky? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Some would answer that question with a simple YES!!! Yes, it does fall from the sky. Some would say --- that is God. And I would respond, "Yes!" Because it is His house. He created you; your subconscious and conscious. What happens is we tend to search only on the surface, only what our eyes can see, what our hands can touch, what our ears actually hear. However, there is something deeper. It's like we need the metal detector so we can know what might be hiding deep down. "Brain researchers estimate that your unconscious database outweighs the conscious on an order exceeding ten million to one. This database is the source of your hidden, natural genius. In other words, a part of you is much smarter than you are. The wise people regularly consult that smarter part." ~ Michael Gelb, Author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci We are leaving out the part that God put in us! "For every house has a builder; but the one who built everything is God." ~ Hebrews 3:4 God created you on purpose, for a purpose and gave you a gift within --- your intuition, your subconscious. But we choose to ignore it, run from it. We don't tap into the genius given and blest by God. So are you waiting for a breakthrough? The K.I.S.S. ~ Inquire Within --- It's the L.A.W.! LISTEN intentionally with no rush. ASK yourself questions. Talk to yourself; your not crazy. How can I ....? What can I do to ....? What should I do ....? WRITE down your answers. Think it, ink it! Neuroscience research reveals that an idea or intuitive insight is lost or not regain after 37 seconds. And in 7 minutes, it's gone forever. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!"

In this episode, Steven Mario Cavallo explores the power of creativity as the source that has propelled humanity from the cave…to the stars. It is the cradle of all invention; the wonderment that moves the child’s hand to paint the pictures in their imagination; and it is the mind force from which emerges the greatest innovations in our world. From the improvised lullaby sung by a new mother to her child, to the convenience of driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, to the architectural marvels of ancient Rome; and to the ingenuity of the iPhone you hold in your hand…all of these things…in fact, all of everything…comes from creativity.   As a subject, creativity has been studied for millennia by philosophers, politicians, artists, musicians and orators. In the modern context and as the driver of the most lucrative commercial achievements in the business world, creativity has been intensively researched by economists, marketers, technologists, cognitive scientists, educators, psychologists and manufacturers. It is the recognised catalyst for attaining market power, enormous wealth and has the capacity to transform an economy. Today on the international stage we see some of the greatest growth coming from economies that have invested in developing creative thinking across industries and across society, in schools, in universities and in the workforce. The push for people to learn ‘how to be creative’ is pursued vigorously now by all types of organisations...and if you do not already have a formal programme to cultivate creativity and innovative thinking in your own business, then you are putting yourself and all the families that depend on your leadership, at risk. The originality and individuality intrinsic in creativity affords a competitive advantage that is not as easily copied by other firms in your industry. Your competitors might also develop their creativity, but they won’t have your particular creative abilities. The world is replete with genius, but in any particular industry the most creative, the most visionary, and the one that offers a true difference that is meaningful to its buyers...this firm often becomes the industry leader and can enjoy extraordinary profitability while the rest of the firms are left to compete on price alone as their sameness reduces their products to mere commodities. Case in point: Apple.   Of course, there are a number of amazing programmes and methodologies in the world today that help an organisation develop its creative thinking capacity. Highly credible systems exist whereby frameworks are given for the creative thinking process. Some techniques are for use in groups and others on an individual basis. Some focus on idea generation, others on divergent thinking, some on reframing paradigms and a great number use randomness or aleatoricism to provide unforseen variety.   Improvisation, which is at the core of jazz musicians, is a natural way to create massive and unique inventiveness that yields a slightly different ‘’product” with each production. But business executives often lack the creative brilliance of a jazz musician so instead prefer to use predefined, creative thinking systems that provide an existing structure they can use internally that is easy to follow and leads people through a process. Some of the best-known creative thinking frameworks are from Dr Edward DeBono (Six Thinking Hats system and the Lateral Thinking process); or the Brainstorming method (by Aex F Osborn); as well as the SWOT analysis (from the Stanford Research Institute) and Dr Stephen Covey’s ‘The Third Alternative’. All of these are powerful tools that can truly transform businesses and indeed, the outlook for a country. And some of these have found their way into mainstream educational curricula and are preparing an entire generation to naturally follow a creative thought process. In fact, in the private school my kids go to, they use the Six Thinking Hats as an integral part of their everyday learning to instil a multi-perspective approach to problem solving. Mmh…perhaps this explains why our buys are SO good at annoying their Mum and Dad on so many levels!   Then of course, as a business owner there are less formal ways to tap into the creative. I personally find that simple things like a walk in nature – along the beach where I live; or doing some exercise while listening to an inspirational podcast; or my putting half an hour aside to play the piano; or even holding my little daughter while she watches cartoons; or perhaps most effectively...doing some meditation to quieten the mind and allow the flow of creative ideas to rush into my head...all of these serve me greatly in generating creative thinking...which ultimately leaves me with a number of potential commercial and personal projects to consider. Of course, once you generate new ideas you then need to assess them in respect to their viability and then finally, to do something with them. This obviously leads into the product development process, which I’ve prevously covered in depth, so I won’t discuss in this episode, but clearly, is of vital importance to an organisation’s commercial survival – and is in fact, the other side of the coin to creativity. I strongly encourage you to listen to episode 101 of this podcast: Disruptive Innovation, Product Development, 10x Thinking with Dr Michael Hewittson-Gleeson from the School of Thinking, the father of 10x Thinking and a major teacher to Larry Page from Google – it is definitely, definitely worth listening to as it goes into great detail on how your business can profit from innovative, creative thinking and excellence in product development, which can give your business enormous market gains. That’s episode 101 of The Business Firm podcast in iTunes or on Stitcher Radio and as always, detailed show notes are available at www.thebusinessfirm.com.au (on the podcast page).   I would like to give you the opportunity now to actually do an exercise in creative thinking – right here, right now in this podcast. If you are driving while you are listening to this, pause the podcast and pull over safely before attempting this – or come back to this again later. If you are doing exercise, perhaps slow down or stop entirely for a couple of minutes while you do this. You will need a pen and paper (or an iPhone or iPad) to write on. It’s important to give yourself permission to simply sit down comfortably, gently close your eyes and take five slow breaths in and out…and just relax for a few seconds. Now give yourself a big smile. Hold the smile and count to ten in your head then let the smile go. You are now ready. Open your eyes and look forward, softening your focus into the middle distance.   First, a little test. While looking into the middle distance, take your finger, place it between your eyes and draw the letter Q on your forehead. There are only two ways you can do this: the tail of the Q can point either to your right eye or your left eye. Which eye did your Q tail point to? Your left or your right? There is a very big difference in the type of person whose Q points to the right and to type of person whose Q points to the left. I will direct you to the answer for this, a little later in this episode. Just remember which way yours pointed.   Now, remaining in this relaxed state, we will try one creative thinking exercise. Now, I must warn you, almost no managers ever solve this, so you may find this difficult. It's a set of questions; here they are:   How do you put a giraffe into a fridge? How do you put an elephant into a fridge? The King of the Jungle is holding a meeting for all of the animals. One of them is not there. Which one? You are standing at the bank of a crocodile infested river and have to get to the other side. What do you do?   Now, if you had trouble solving these questions then you are likely trapped in the ordinary managerial mindset with its limitations and assumptions automatically built in to the problem solving process. And while such a mindset is great for breeding non-thinking conformists that abide to corporate dogma; this will not propel your organisation to leapfrog your competitors. You want your staff to think magical thoughts that can be developed into magical products and service. To a person in the 1950s, an 80s Walkman would have seemed like a magical, impossible device. To a person in the 80s, an iPhone 7 would have seemed a magic, impossible device. You need to free your own thinking from the belief systems endemic in modern business in order to think of tomorrow’s magical devices so you can then start working on making them possible.   So while you may have had trouble solving those questions, almost all five year olds are able to answer them correctly. Why? Because they naturally have unlimited creative thinking not yet spoilt by the rigidity of common thought. Let’s look at the answers, one by one.   How do you put a giraffe into a fridge? Open the fridge, put the giraffe inside and close the fridge.   How do you put an elephant into a fridge? Open the fridge, take the giraffe out, put the elephant in and close the fridge.   What animal is not at the meeting for all the animals? The elephant…because it is in the fridge.   And what do you do on the bank of the crocodile infested river? You swim across the river because all the crocodiles are at the meeting.   Clearly, sometimes a childlike, unbounded imagination is needed in order to escape your paradigm and think outside the box. This example shows how we automatically build in problem boundaries and make assumptions about limitations and it also shows how we jump to levels of complexity that blinds us to simple solutions. Nobody said the fridge wasn’t big enough to fit the giraffe! This example also shows us that we should consider previous actions. Nobody said that these were four separate questions.     Now that we have forced upon the mind to broader possibilities, let me give you some questions that are directly related to your own business. In answering these, let your mind take a step or two back from normal reasoning so that you give yourself the lateral space to see both the fridge and the giraffe simultaneously. I’m about to ask you four questions for which I want you to write your answers. You might want to pause the podcast after each question so you give yourself the best chance or writing a creative answer. Ready?   Firstly, in respect to your industry, what are three different things that would cause its rapid decline? Write these down.   What three things can you do to survive such a decline if the industry were to collapse?   When people buy from you, what is the end outcome they are seeking to achieve through their purchase and what are three ways that outcome can affect their life?   Now, look at those three ways your customers’ lives are affected and for each, list three new inventions that would achieve those same outcomes for them. Think laterally and without bounds. All things are possible.   The next step is to assess all that you have written down, but not now – do it in a couple of hours time; then again tomorrow after you have slept overnight. Don’t worry about whether your business can accomplish them – instead, write down three different ways that each of them might be accomplished. Leave the door open to all possibilities, even if you think there is no way of doing it. The ‘how’ will come to you once you have worked out the ‘what’. Your job as the leader of the business is to work out the ‘what’; you will always find people who can work out the ‘how’. This process of ideas branching off to other ideas follows the thought form of a spider diagram.   You should repeat this same exercise every month as it cannot but help generate relevant ideas and hypotheses of threats. But to make the most of this, have all your staff do this exercise – and I mean everybody. The objective of this exercise is to see the problem from as many different perspectives as possible, as each provides a unique vantage point and lifetime of creative insights, almost all of which you have no hope of reaching by yourself.   Perhaps the greatest creative thinking tool that I use is a specific type of spider diagram called the mind map. Mind mapping of course, is now very popular though Tony Buzan and the countless apps and programmes that are available. I use a programme called MindMaple on my Mac, which syncs with MindMaple on my iPhone and iPad. The software is excellent for making formal mind maps, but quite often I simply use pen and paper because it imparts a sense of freedom to me.   So in respect to thinking creatively in your business, you can give yourself an enormous advantage over your competitors by giving yourself the benefit of understanding the market, the world, the problem, the opportunity, the relationship, the war, the offensive and the defensive – all from the perspective of the other side. You should also try to imagine the perspective from a removed, third party that is not directly involved in the situation. When you gain these two extra perspectives, on top of your own; you achieve the advantage of seeing yourself and your strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of those your are trying to appear better than; and you also gain a clearer picture of what the buyer, who isn’t invested in either your own or your competitors’ perspectives, actually sees the market as.   So in thinking creativity, it is essential that we do not restrict ourselves to think in an ordinary, linear fashion. What we need is to be able to conceive of a very large fridge at the SAME time as how to reduce the size of the giraffe. The hardened picture of an ordinary fridge is so set in our mind that we instantly jump to the problem of the giraffe’s size. This image of a normal sized fridge represents the rigidity of ordinary management thinking that prevents us from being as naturally creative as a five year old. But while we are all coaxed into the ‘box’ of common thinking, I truly believe it is possible for any person who wants to, to practise how to think more creatively. This is best achieved by adopting a thinking framework to become your new thinking process and then purposely applying that thinking framework in all problems that you solve – or opportunities you will to exploit. As I have mentioned, there are a number of well known frameworks such as the Six Thinking Hats, but I would like to discuss perhaps one of the most powerful – not only in terms of the incredible creativity that it can generate for commercial gain, but also in terms of the benefits across all the others areas of your life. I believe this to have the ability to transform your business/financial situation; as well as your health, relationships and ultimately, the happiness you experience in living. This framework represents the mind of the greatest genius and archetype polymath that ever lived…Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci. The Renaissance Man.   Leonardo Da Vinci is considered by most learned historians and scholars as the ultimate Universal Genius and possessed a ‘feverishly inventive imagination’. Born in Florence in 1452 he created inventions and displayed intellectual and creative genius in all endeavours of human knowledge and his insatiable curiosity drove him to an obsession to learn…everything. In 1866 Hippolyte wrote of him, “There may not be in the world an example of another genius so universal, so incapable of fulfilment, so full of yearning for the infinite, so naturally refined, so far ahead of his own century and the following centuries”. And as recently as 1967, Bortolon described him so, "Because of the multiplicity of interests that spurred him to pursue every field of knowledge ... Leonardo can be considered, quite rightly, to have been the universal genius par excellence, and with all the disquieting overtones inherent in that term. Man is as uncomfortable today, faced with a genius, as he was in the 16th century. Five centuries have passed, yet we still view Leonardo with awe."   Let’s go back to that first test I gave you where you drew the Q on your forehead. Remember I said there is an enormous difference in people that make the tail of the Q point to left eye as opposed to the right eye? Well I promised you I’d direct you to the answer, so here’s how to find it. This test comes from creativethinking.net, but to make it easy, I have already compiled the answer for you. Simply look at the show notes for this episode at www.thebusinessfirm.com.au (on the podcast page) and download the PDF for episode 105. The answer will freak you out! So clearly, to adopt the very system of thinking that was used by the greatest mind ever, is to find an excellent guide to model one’s own creative development upon. I was lucky enough to come across perhaps the work of arguable the greatest scholar of Leonardo Da Vinci, Michael Gelb, in 1998 when I saw his ground-breaking book, How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Everyday. What Michael Gelb did was study Leonardo’s mind and thinking extensively – more so than probably any person in history ever has. He sought to understand in full the very thought process that made Leonardo such as extraordinary genius; and after years of research and peering into the mind of the Maestro, he wrote this book which changed mine and millions and millions of other people’s lives, all round the world. He was able to distil Leonardo’s thought process down into seven key principles; which when lived in concert can arm you with the same view of the world as Leonardo. It is an amazing, amazing system of thinking that is surprising easily to understand. By following those seven principles, you will find incredible creativity and with it, the power to transform your business and all other aspects of your life. Of course, Michael has rewritten many other books on the subject of creativity, in fact, 14 in total. Some of which include: Creativity on Demand: How To Ignite and Sustain The Fire of Genius; Innovate Like Edison: The Five Step System For Breakthrough Business Success; Discover Your Genius; Thinking for Change; 5 Keys to High Performance; Brain Power: Improve Your Mind As You Age; and Wine Drinking For Inspired Thinking. He is also a highly sought after keynote speaker, a presenter of corporate seminars and a coach and mentor. He consults to some of the world’s largest companies, including Microsoft, IBM, KPMG, Nike, General Electric, Ernst and Young, Unilever, Roche, H&R Block, Xerox, the United States Army and the list continues. He has won numerous prestigious awards, including Brain Of The Year (1999) an honour bestowed by the Brain Trust Charity to very few, amongst which are Stephen Hawking and Edward De Bono. Without doubt, Michael Gelb is an extraordinary genius in his own right and perhaps one of the most qualified individuals from which you would want to learn creative thinking strategy. So…what are those seven, transformative Da Vincian principles? Well, it is my very great pleasure to invite you to follow me into the lift as we ascend up to The Business Firm Presidential Lounge and there, awaiting us, is no other than the amazing, Michael Gelb.   Special Offer From Michael Gelb to Listeners of The Business Firm Podcast  For any organisation that hires Michael to give a keynote speech or corporate presentation to its employees, Michael will give his special educational presentation to a school, free of charge.  Contact: Michael@michaelgelb.com www.michaelgelb.com Today’s question comes from Andeep who manufacturers high quality timber stains in Chennai, India. His product is more expensive than most brands and while he currently sells in India, he’s having difficulty competing with the cheaper brands in his domestic market, which is still in economic development. Andeep has just sent product into Indonesia as a first outbound test in Jakarta. He now wants to export to Australia and New Zealand and is seeking advice on what he should consider in making the leap into the Aussie market.   Well Andeep, thank you for your question mate. You are in the same situation of many manufacturers on the Subcontinent and also in China who have reached a limitation to growth, both in respect to sales volumes as well as profitability. So, you are not alone in your predicament and The Business Firm has helped a number of manufacturers enter Australia, which in every case I can happily report has enabled those businesses to increase revenue, but more importantly, to dramatically improve profitability. Of course, while Australian has a smaller population than India or Indonesia, the amount of income per capita here is much, much higher. Also, when you take into account the difference in the exchange rate between the Rupee and the Australian Dollar, the real amount you will earn per sale will be a great deal higher, while still incurring the very low cost of production in India against that higher revenue. Hence, if you can manage the transport and logistics aspect of exporting to Australia (which you might be able to minimise by shipping direct from the Indian port of Chennai to the Australian port of Darwin in the Northern Territory, which is actually a relatively short distance, if you use sea cargo), then you definitely have the opportunity to create a lucrative export programme for your business.   In Australia, all coatings (timber stains, house paints, direct-to-metal enamels and especially automotive two-pack paints) are very expensive. So there is likely plenty of room for you to play between your cost and the potential retail price. In fact, for pretty much everything you can think of, Australian retail prices are always significantly more expensive than any other country, including the U.S. and the U.K, even when adjusting for exchange rate and shipping. Australian simply dish out more money for stuff. This gives you the ability to make some strategic choices in respect the distribution, which quite frankly, is going to be the single most important marketing determinant of your commercial success – probably more so than promotion. The reason is that geographically, Australia is gigantic – an entire continent; and it is sparsely populated, except for the largest cities of: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart. The smaller cities such as Albury-Wodonga, Geelong, Mount Gambier, Cairns etc. are spread all over the continent and to service these areas can be expensive, but you are usually able to charge higher prices to compensate for the higher distribution costs – something that is naturally accepted by most people in these areas. Hence, how you organise distribution is crucial.   You really only have two practical options: to try and sell everything yourself; or install distributors to do this for you. If you want to make any meaningful volume of sales, you really need to put on distributors and consider any sales you make direct to the pubic off your website, as a bonus – not to mention that even for your online sales you will still need to have a warehouse facility somewhere in Australia that is able to physically ship the product to your buyer, anyway. So, look for distributors in every state and territory; both in the big capital cities and also in the regional centres. Don’t offer any distributor sole distribution as your product doesn’t warrant it (i.e. you are not selling Mercedes Benz cars), unless of course the opportunity to sell in Bunnings (the largest hardware chain in Australia) presents itself only as an exclusive deal; but to be honest, even such a deal is unlikely to be an exclusive one because almost all of the products Bunnings sell are also available at their biggest competitor chains, such as Mitre 10 and Solver.   So you want to ensure that you have distribution for public retail (in places such as Bunnings), as well as distribution specifically for the trade market. In Australia and New Zealand, most trade buyers buy from specialist trade supply companies, not from big, public-going chains like Bunnings. You will need to find these suppliers and begin making contact with them. The main benefit of using trade suppliers is that your product will benefit from expert sales representation, as opposed to the blank stares you get from the staff that usually works at the big, public-going chains. The other benefit of course is that the trade suppliers are usually owner-operated, so they are much, much more likely to actively push your brand to buyers, as opposed to your tins sitting silently amongst the plethora of other brands’ tins that sit alongside yours on the shelf at the impersonal, largely self-serve chain stores. However, don’t get me wrong, you need both of these so don’t for a moment think of choosing just one of these channels over the other.   In respect to promotion, you should budget for some advertising to build brand awareness and try and position your brand in the minds of the market. Because you are not selling a product with broad-based demand, you should narrow you spend to only target your niche; buyers of stains, French polishers, woodwork businesses, furniture restoration businesses, builders of outdoor decks and gates, businesses that make bookshelves, cabinet makers, builders of kitchens, as well as trying to get in front of members of the public, but only at the point when they are likely to be considering timber stains, such as when they are doing DIY wood projects, or resurfacing an existing deck, or renovating a wooden gate etc. Obviously, reaching trade targets is easy because you can find them in business directories, but getting members of the public specifically at the time when they are considering purchasing stains is more difficult, this is where very targeted advertising options such as search, FaceBook, YouTube, good text and video on your own website etc. is crucially important.   Finally, in respect to price, I’ve already mentioned that when selling into Australia there is usually a large amount of ‘fat’ between your cost and the retail prices that are tolerated in Australia. Now, if you want to make good money over a long period, then share that margin with your distributors. Don’t try and hog it all yourself, leave plenty for them so that they are highly incentivised to push your brand over all the other brands that already stock. Assuming your stain is good, if they can properly service their customers and make more money from your product at the same time, then they will carve out market share for you – but you have to look after them. And looking after them does not just mean in terms of price, you need to provide them with all the promotional tools they need to sell your product. Have the brochures ready for them. Have the TDS and PDS sheets ready for them as a download, in properly spelled Australian English! Also, have high quality videos on YouTube ready for your distributors so they can send their customers there for tips, technical information, application methods, FAQ and so forth. You need to help them, help you.   I hope this has helped you Andeep, as well as anybody else that manufacturers products and is interested in selling into Australia and New Zealand. I can tell you that these are some of the things we have done for our own clients that have entered the Australian market and all of these are necessary in order to be successful. There is obviously more to it, but as a minimum these are the basics you need to consider in your business. I strongly suggest finding a marketing consultant that is local in Australia who has had experience in B2B or trade distribution because their local knowledge will best ensure the work they do for you is best suited to the Australian context; in respect to labelling laws, HAZCHEM compliance (this has to do with storage and transport of flammable or dangerous goods across Australia, which of course, includes paints), and in respect to creating videos with Australian voices (which is a must, by the way), and in respect to the most appropriate way to approach the local suppliers and how best to represent your brand to them, and also the best way to structure the pricing offer so as to engage them properly to actively sell your brand…plus lots of other important considerations that are essential if you are going to be successful in the Australian market.   So, I wish you all the best Andeep.
