Finding Hidden Gems

"There are little gems all around us that can hold glimmers of inspiration."- Richelle Mead

You may have seen the following before, but it bears reconsideration.

An iron bar costs $5.00.

Made into horseshoes, its worth is $12.00.

Made into needles, it’s worth $3,500.

Made into watch springs, it’s worth $300,000!

It isn’t what you have that matters. It’s what you DO with what you have.

Finding Hidden Gems

Finding Hidden Gems is a digital publication we sell on our site.

It is one of the exercises we use in our Elite Business Success Groups to see ways to utilize assets that you already have or have access to in ways that are far more valuable.

My friend, and 2X participant in an Elite Business Success Group, Ryan Nicley , uses this process to help his fellow Chamber of Commerce members become more successful.

Learn more about the Elite Business Success training here.

For those reading today's edition, I am providing the exact verbiage that is in Finding Hidden Gems so you can apply it in your business life.

This will help you whether you are an entrepreneur or non-entrepreneur.

So, here goes!

Maximizing Asset Value

Part One: Make a List of ALL Assets You Have

Assets include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• Social Media Accounts
• Web Sites
• Skills You Have
• Specific Knowledge You Possess
• Your Network of People
• Articles You've Written
• Videos You’ve Made
• Intellectual Property You Own
• Intellectual Property You Have Access To
• Technology You Own
• Physical Facilities (Office(s), Conference Rooms, Etc.)
• Etc., Etc. Etc.

Make this list of assets comprehensive! Leave nothing off, even if it seems irrelevant.

Part Two

Consider each asset on your list one at a time.

With each, ask yourself this question:

In what ways might I use this asset (that I'm not currently) to produce more and better results?

Part Three

Apply any or all the innovative thinking methods contained in my innovative thinking guide,

Seeing The Invisible So You Can Do The Impossible.

You can purchase that guide for $29.95 in our store here.

BUT, as a reader of this Edition of the Freaking Brilliant Ideas Newsletter, for a limited time you can PM me and I will provide you a digital copy at no charge.

If you take the time to work through these processes, you will be blown away by the gems you find hidden in assets you already possess.

With great satisfaction I recall how Ryan told me his fellow Chamber of Commerce members - who were quite skeptical at first - reported to him that this 'homework assignment' was the most valuable thing they had gotten out of their Chamber experience.

I would love your feedback on how this works for you!
