Description

How to Skyrocket your creativity and problem-solving powers without fancy tools or doing some weird techniques or even spend ages to find practical and unique solutions?


Have you ever wondered why some people can solve any problem and usually can figure out simple unique solutions to complex problems?


Perhaps you have a problem that bugs you daily and wish you can solve that problem and have a wildly successful invention!


Perhaps you wondered why some startups and entrepreneurs can have unique ideas that succeed and you can't find one?


Or perhaps you asked why the creative problem solvers are the ones who get promoted even if they lack some technical skills required for the job?


So if you want to be promoted in your job and to be indispensable from your company ..then the one skill you need to learn is practical creative thinking.


Employers don’t simply want to hire creative people because they are impressive. They want creative employees who will help them solve work-related issues. Therefore, when applying for jobs, highlight your ability not only to think creatively, but to use your creativity to solve an important issue.



You need creativity even more if you are a blogger, a freelancer or a startup or even an entrepreneur because creativity is the only unique power that will make you stand out in the noisy crowded business space.


I’m not talking about creative artist or creativity as art or even creative writing, I’m talking about creative practical problem-solving.


The creative problem solvers find ideas in the most obvious spots, yet no one else can see the solution like them. They can easily find practical ideas that really works like charm.


When you look at those people ‘The great minds’ you probably think they have the creativity genes in their DNA and they were born with the creative golden spoon in their mouth.


I used to think that also. Until one day, I faced a problem that was so complicated and I couldn’t find a solution to it. Then I began to read and study about problem-solving, and to my surprise I found my brain working differently than it used to be after implementing some useful techniques. I even get deeper in understanding the psychology and the behavior science of the creative problem solvers especially during my Ph.D. studies and my PMP study. (I’ll not bore you with all the theoretical theories, no worries)


I’ve tried many creative thinking techniques to solve my problems …


Some techniques just didn’t work or I thought it was so weird and unpractical to do … like taking a nap and before falling sleep think of the question you want to answer and you will dream of the solution and then write your dream and investigate the dream because the dream has the solution …. Well, the dream it technique never worked for me (I never take a nap nor I can remember my dreams) and for me, I need techniques that are practical and systematic and can be done in the same way over and over again for any problem to find unique practical creative ideas. Dream it is not in my list of practical creativity Techniques.



I want creative thinking method that is practical and productive in a short time.



That is what is called


Practical creativity


By definition, Practical creativity is the ability to discover solutions that will solve problems (period).


In this course, I’ll share with you my interpretation of practical creativity. And the four stages for practical creative thinking. Or as I call it the PSTI method.



Finding a new, unique and practical solution to any problem is not a magical spill and no you don’t need golden pixie dust. (However, if you have some ..it will be great).


Practical creative thinking (PSTI method) is a scientific method based on psychology and neuroscience of the brain.


FOUR STAGES TO MASTER YOUR PRACTICAL CREATIVITY.

                                                                                        (you can see their icons in the photo of the course and see the icons for each step)



P is the preparation stage as you are going to the creative thinking adventure you have to prepare your mind to enjoy the adventure (no worries there are no weird techniques and no techniques involve balloons or deep breathing).


S is for splitting and squeezing the problem like squeezing an orange to enjoy a cold glass of the juice. Without splitting and squeezing the orange, how you expect to get the juice?


T is the stage for tapping and thinking of the problem … where you apply the practical creativity questions and techniques and find your inspirational ideas. you'll be able to leverage ideas, that would otherwise…be left untapped, and make connections that could have easily gone unnoticed …or may have been overlooked altogether.…We'll cover each of these techniques in greater detail.


I is the stage of implementation and iteration. This stage is the final destiny ..it is the stage to find if your ideas will really succeed in the world or you need to modify it to get the best results.



Each stage and step of the PSTI method is explained in details with examples and stories so that you have the proof that this method works.


PSTI is a method that any person, creative or 'not', can use and *will* produce usable results. An honest attempt at the exercises is necessary - you can't go becoming a body-builder just by picking up a weight one time now, can you?


A disclaimer here, The PSTI method works only when you have the flexibility and the openness to see all the possibilities without prior judgment to any technique. Please, try and implement first then develop your own judgment.


With that said, this course won't tell you everything you need to know about creativity or creative thinking. But it will tell you some useful practical methods to solve problems.


A lot of people want a "quick fix" or "on/off switch" for creativity; while this course will provide you with techniques that you can start using quickly, I do not believe that this course will provide an instant fix or you will become a genius overnight. But I promise you that you will find your brain working differently and you will find numerous ideas when you practically apply the techniques.


If you want to deliver the right idea at the right moment, you must begin the process far upstream from when you need that idea.


Creativity is not an accident, not something that is genetically determined. It is not a result of some easily learned magic trick or secret, but a consequence of your intention to be creative and your determination to learn and use creative-thinking strategies.


‘Great minds’ think productively, not magically. When confronted with a problem, they ask themselves how many different ways they can look the problem, how they can rethink it, and how many different ways they can solve it, instead of asking how they have been taught to solve it. They tend to come up with many different responses, some of which are unconventional, and possibly, unique.



So if you want to


  • Generate ideas at will.

  • Create new business opportunities.

  • Manipulate and modify ideas until you come up with the most innovative and powerful ideas possible.

  • Create new products, services, and processes.

  • Improve old products, services, and processes.

  • Develop solutions to complex business problems.

  • Revitalize markets.

  • See problems as opportunities.

  • Become more productive.

  • Be the “idea person” in your organization.

  • Know where to look for the “breakthrough idea.”


Then, Enroll in this course and learn the PSTI method for getting ideas to solve your challenges.


Your business attitude determines your potential for innovation, creativity, even genius, and success in your field.


There is no risk as you are backed up by 30-day money back guarantee so enroll now, watch the videos, apply the PSTI method and if you are unsatisfied, you can refund all your money with a click of a button, No question asked.

I help small Business owners to make big profit using buyers Psychology.

Imagine holding the brain in your hands ... wondering how this small sticky squashy organ controls your emotions and your decisions.
Dissecting brains was a morning routine after coffee. LOL.
Dissecting brains , for me, is much easier than cooking (wow, how much I hate cooking?).
