No. 120: Creativity is Not Genetic (Farmers Have It, & So Do You!)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It does not matter if no one in your family, or village, ever created anything noteworthy. Neither does it matter if others in your field think it's a waste of time being creative<\/a>. As a child of the omnipotent creator, you have the ability to create and innovate. Used wisely, it can help you achieve your dreams, and even change the world for the better!<\/p>\n

Virtually Everything We Use Today is a Product of Human Creativity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Right now, you\u2019re most likely reading these words on a mobile phone, laptop or desktop computer, via an Internet connection. And this is happening regardless of your physical location.<\/p>\n

The devices used to achieve that are products of creative ideas conceived by some people. The clothes we wear today, the shoes, cars we drive, airplane we travel in.
\nAll those modern day wonders and conveniences. It took some ordinary persons like you and me, thinking creatively, to bring them to life.<\/p>\n

In the Intellectual Field, Creativity Provides Food for the Mind and Soul<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Magical personalities have graced this plane with their presence. They made lasting impact on our lives through their creative thoughts, words and works. Examples I especially love to use are Zig Ziglar (the best example of a Motivational Speaker I\u2019ve ever seen) and Jim Rohn (Recognised as the World\u2019s Foremost Business Philosopher).<\/p>\n

Years after their departure, their words remain relevant. When we read them, we often wonder (at least I do!): \u201cWow. How did he think of saying it so perfectly?!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Those two men operated at a superior level of creativity to their peers.<\/p>\n

Just like Burt Dubin<\/a> is in entirely superior class of his own\u2026a<\/em><\/strong>s far as the business of Public Speaking & Mentoring of Public Speakers<\/a> is concerned. <\/em><\/h3>\n

Take it from me:<\/strong> I\u2019ve done a careful comparison of the most \u201cvisible\u201d experts in that area for over 10 years. And I know Burt is right out in front.<\/p>\n

If you think I\u2019m saying this because I\u2019m his agent across Africa<\/a>, think again. <\/em><\/p>\n

Here, let me help you:<\/strong> Go and read some of my articles from when I\u2019d never even had any direct contact with him\u2026like this one published on Ezinearticles.com way back in 2006<\/a> (Burt and I teamed up in 2011).<\/p>\n

What Sets Burt Dubin Apart from Other Public Speaking Coaches\/Mentors\/Trainers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I've always referred to him, just as I have to Dan Kennedy, Terry Dean and others whose works have influenced me.<\/p>\n

But with Burt, it's been his mastery of Public Speaking and Business Marketing acumen that have always stood out for me!<\/em><\/h3>\n

That, as well as the superior level of creativity he passionately brings to bear. The depth or wisdom and hands-on expertise he possesses is unmatched.<\/p>\n

I make a simple statement of fact, dear reader. No exaggeration. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It might interest you to know that many who undergo Burt's mentoring, along with others who are his colleagues, call him a \u201cmaster<\/a>\u201d. <\/em> Hmm...some food for thought there if you're trying to choose a mentor :-))<\/p>\n

Are You Scared of Owning Your Creativity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By owning their creativity, the above mentioned achievers have (are) impacted (impacting) the world.<\/p>\n

But what about you? Are you doing the same? Or are you afraid?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can ask you that question today, because I conquered my fear when I was 27 years old, and a green-horned duty shift brewer, on my first night shift in Guinness Nigeria, Benin Brewery, Edo State..<\/p>\n

That night, I found myself facing an army of brewing and bottling hall operatives unable to work for over 5 hours! This happened because I made a calculator error for an important beer additive that resulted in beer that could not be bottled.<\/p>\n

So, while I waited for the next available tank to be processed, the men had to sit idle. It was terrible. And I felt that way too. I could already see my boss looking sternly at me and asking \u201cBut Tayo, it\u2019s just a simply percentage estimation!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah, it was simple. But it was also prone a lot of errors since we used a hand held calculator. I\u2019d expressed that concern before my turn came to go alone on night shift. But the senior brewer had told me \u201cLook, you cannot computerize everything<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

So I let it go.<\/em> And the worst that could happen did <\/strong><\/em>happen<\/a>! [Click to read full article in a new window. I titled it \"How To Turn A Major Blunder At Work Into A Career Advancement Opportunity<\/a><\/strong>\". Then I later re-titled it \"Failire is a Shrewd Instructor...Listen to it, and You'll be Better Off<\/a><\/strong>\"]<\/em><\/p>\n

My Fear of Getting Criticised and of Letting My Creativity Loose, Died That Night in 1997!<\/h3>\n

I leant a hard lesson that night: to never ignore anything my intuition (or what Burt Dubin calls \u201cInner Voice\u201d) tells me<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

By the end of the year, I\u2019d developed 4 other applications that totally eliminated the need for manual recording or report preparation in the brewing department.<\/p>\n

Most of those achievements happened between late 1997 and 1998, and I did it all in my spare time<\/a>. That\u2019s including writing a management research paper that I presented at the National Finals of Nigerian Institute of Management\u2019s Young Managers\u2019 Competition (placing 5th overall - after I badly flopped in my presentation<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

By way of interest, my paper got special mention from the judges of that event for a concept I developed for mass balancing in beer waste estimation. I called it TWUF<\/strong>\u2122 i.e. Total Waste Unaccounted For<\/strong>. I\u2019d actually used it to successfully uncover an apparent (false) beer waste problem at the filler machine in the packaging department. More on that in a future article.<\/em><\/p>\n

My career in the company took off right after that. By the time I left to start my business, I\u2019d done even more, gotten promoted, sent on overseas training, and successfully acted in Senior Management roles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Creativity Based Success Leaves a Trail<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A careful look at my disposition as an entrepreneur will reveal I\u2019ve stayed true to my decision about never letting my fears get the better of my creativity.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why today, I\u2019ve created a range of sophisticated, yet low cost Custom Excel-VB driven software, to serve smallholder farmers e.g my popular feed formulation handbook<\/a>, its accompanying Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator<\/a>, the Poultry Layer Farm Manager<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n

This group, especially in my part of the world, has hitherto been grossly neglected by developers \u2013 who tend to chase big companies etc.<\/p>\n

I found a way to develop solutions that solve pressing problems faced by such farmers, and now offer it in an easy-to-replicate manner. When I started out, many people told me I was wasting my time.<\/p>\n

I ignored them.<\/p>\n

Instead, I used my creativity to make my solutions appealing to other industries as well. As a result, over the years, I've built Excel-VB driven customizable software for hospitals, hotels, fitness clubs, medical clinics and so on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All the while, I kept my eyes firmly fixed on my primary target audience: Farm Business Owners.<\/p>\n

By the time some of them began \u201cbiting\u201d at my marketing \u201cbait\u201d, I had success stories from those other industries to show them. It was only a matter of time before one of them paid. And since then, it\u2019s been a wonderful experience having these farm owners\/enthusiasts from across the world reach out to me for help. I am truly living my dream!<\/p>\n

To Achieve This level of Reckoning, I Have Had to Fearlessly Own My Creativity!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I had to believe I had it in me. And that it had nothing<\/strong> to do with my genes, and everything<\/strong> to do with how I think!<\/p>\n

But this message is not about me, or about Burt Dubin\u2026or the others mentioned. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is aimed at anyone who may feel they have nothing to offer the world. Those who believe they can only be assistants to others who make things happen.<\/p>\n

Know this: <\/strong>You can impact the world from your<\/strong> own small corner in it!<\/em><\/p>\n

So, as an Expert in Your Field, I Challenge You to Approach 2014 With a New Focus and Drive<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aim to develop a more unique and original approach to doing what you do. It should be one that can help not just you, but also your peers and industry. As a farm business owner, you can conduct on-farm trials to lower feeding costs etc. Document what you learn in a way that others can comprehend.<\/p>\n

What if you were to share that \u201cIndigenous Knowledge\u201d via a little blog of your own? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019d be surprised. Farmers in other parts of the world could be excited to learn that new technique you use to cheaply feed your broilers or catfish!<\/p>\n

And who knows what could come of it? A funding organisation could invite you to give a lecture on the discoveries you\u2019re making!<\/p>\n

Look at the attention I\u2019m getting (in and out of Africa) just by providing information products and custom software for farm businesses<\/a>. I don\u2019t even have a farm of my own \u2013 but I\u2019m adding value to farm businesses!<\/p>\n

If I can do it, then a farm business owner willing to be creative can do it even better!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All we need is a willingness to use our God-given creativity. With the power of the Internet, never has it been easier to achieve the foregoing, than now!<\/p>\n

Have a lovely week!<\/p>\n
