What do I do?

Avoiding the boil-in-a-bag syndrome.

Have you ever come home on a cold day after working hard and felt that gnawing hunger in your belly? You’ve worked so hard that it was difficult to get the right amount of food at the right time. If you’ve been doing manual labour it gets worse, because you just get weary and lack energy. You get to a critical point where you just have to eat before you can go on.

Rushing into the kitchen the quickest, easiest food comes to hand. If its boil-in-a-bag or noodles in a pot then you know you’re in luck. The kettle goes on and within two minutes you are wolfing down relieving sustenance.

And with it comes the instant glow of relief. You’ve delivered something warm that soothes your stomach and gives it a quick boost.

But we know that in the long term, boil-in-a-bag is not good for you. It’s processed, full of e-numbers and doesn’t provide the vitamins and balanced minerals your body needs.

You can top you body up with vitamin pills, but doesn’t a real food banquet last longer?

A long luxurious gastronomic experience sticks in your mind much better than a two minute instant meal.

One plus one could equal eleven in my universe.

A professor finished the formula he was writing on the board and turned and proclaimed “this is, of course obvious”. He thought a while, and continued “at least I think its obvious”. He left the class to retire to his study, where he stayed for some 20 minutes before emerging triumphant to state “It Is obvious!”

I don’t know about you, but most things only become obvious after someone has explained them to you in a way that you can understand. Unless you are helped to see the light, then it’s almost inevitable that you will spend hours thinking about a problem that your brain refuses to solve.

You can do the same with your problem, and take what is ‘the obvious answer’, but what I have found is that ‘the obvious answer’ is not always the one that fixes the problem forever. That’s why Rob wrote at “The Innovation Project”.

What is bad about Teaching by rote 

This same professor had a habit of teaching by rote. The information went up on the blackboard and the student had to work hard just to keep up with the rate at which it was being delivered.

By learning exactly what was placed on the board and regurgitating it later, students were guaranteed a pass. But was this the best way of learning? Well it certainly filled the brain with much unconnected information, but did it help the student to reason for himself? I don’t think so!

Many systems offer a ‘quick fix’ on which you become reliant, because it’s either difficult to understand or locks you in through dependencies and product reliance. “The Innovation Project” can be moulded by you so that you understand how it works.

Kiss me Hardy 

Rob believes that every problem can be broken down into simple steps and concepts. This is the KISS (Keep it simple stupid) principal, which is embedded into every stage of  “The Innovation Project”.

Why work with me? 

Because:-

1. You can work online (Unless you want me to visit you),
   so every product or service you see on this site can be worked with over the Internet.
2. But I know myself that working online has its disadvantages, because you want to know the answers now.
3. Online technology helps, through e-mail and online forms,
   and it gives me the opportunity to avoid ‘boil-in-a-bag’ by thinking about your problem for a while.
4. I’m available worldwide, that is unless I’m sleeping,  or looking after natural bodily functions.
5. The information keeps flowing. Each week I visit a pithy subject that hits the Innovation spot and write about it for those who subscribe to my newsletter. There’s no guarantee you will get it otherwise, and in fact only 20 examples of my newsletter are available through this site. Why miss one. Join up now.
6. Like Picasso Rob too has been around the block a few times, and with “The Innovation Project” you can start to innovate.
