I owe the flying pigs to some of my former bosses.
While many of my ideas might be considered mundane (but were highly useful in advancing my career), some ideas were way out there. One such idea led my boss to say, "That'll work when pigs fly." Of course, the idea did indeed work.
That idea didn't just float through the air and lodge somewhere in my brain, eventually popping up in my consciousness. Nope, it was a 'manufactured' idea.
Most of my ideas were created through a process. No magic here; these ideas are human-made. In other words, they are manufactured.
To manufacture these ideas, I use the coolest hack. That's right, a shortcut to impactful ideas. It's sorta been my secret. I've been using it for a long, long time.
I sat down and wrote how to use this hack to create those human-made ideas. To make it more fun, I wrote it in the style of a business fable. You read that right-a fable. It's just a lot more fun for me-and most likely you-to divulge my secret hack this way.
It will take you about an hour to read it and fully understand the system. Is it worth it? Well, what's one great idea worth to you? What are a lot of great ideas worth to you? How about a lifetime of ideas that continually enhance your career?
You'll find that the ideas you cherish are the 'flying pig ideas.' When your boss says, "That'll work when pigs fly," you'll know you've got a terrific breakthrough idea. Those are the ideas you'll truly love.
Start the process. Start manufacturing ideas, today. You'll have fun.
