Ideas change lives
In the pursuit of worthy ambitions, all you (and your clients/students) may need is just one more good idea in a series of good ideas to achieve success.
Look at ideas as the combination to a safe that, inside, holds your goals and desires. After you've dialed 4 or 5 numbers, the lock may not come open. But in all likelihood, all you need is just one more number (one more idea) to open the safe.
One idea short
I believe that most people who fall short of their goals and ambitions are just one idea away from achieving them - when they surrender. So close and yet...
And I've discovered that one of the primary differences between successful and unsuccessful people is simple: Those who succeed hang in there long after the others have let go. Hanging in there meaning... "seeking new breakthrough ideas."
When you keep your eyes, ears (and heart) open, you'll find that last idea you need. Maybe from a book, a billboard, a song, a conversation, a movie... anyplace, so long as you're seeking that idea. Seek and you shall find.

The #1 Tip for Accessing Good Ideas: Ask yourself high-quality questions:
Another primary difference between those who succeed, and those who fail, is that those who succeed, are willing to do what others are unwilling to do - like grinding out that one last idea - the last number - to open the safe of dreams. Especially when the going gets tough.
Arriving at: Wits-end
When you (and your clients/students) are at your wits-end, and about to throw in the towel and raise the white flag, ask yourselves, "How many good ideas have I yet to identify, that would unlock this safe? And am I prepared to give up on them?"
In most cases, there is no such thing as running out of good ideas. Only running out of determination and resourcefulness.
