This will not be the easiest site you have ever read. It is not about an easy subject.
Nowhere here will you find any statement to the effect that creative thinking — the active use of imagination — is an easy task.
Nor will you find any secret formulas or magic phrases that can produce million-dollar ideas for you.
In fact, if the writer occasionally makes a categorical statement that appears to be the answer, it was not intended that way. By its nature, creativity is infinite — there is always a better way and always a worse way.
Therefore, there are no real answers.
There are preferred ways, and apparently better ways. But not answers.
This was planned to do several things:
To help you develop an increased sensitivity to problems, needs, and opportunities in business.
To build your knowledge of problem-solving procedures, and the aids to thinking more creatively.
By removing some of the "mystery" that has always clouded the subject of creativity, to help you to gain self-confidence in applying principles and using techniques that have helped others.
To explain some of the background that is necessary to create the kind of "climate" that will encourage more creative kinds of thinking on the part of associates and subordinates.

Bootstrapping Your Company to Success
By: William Cate
Published August 1998
[http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/] [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/globalvillageinvestmentclubwelcome/]
Often, service-oriented businesses can bootstrap themselves to
success. Bootstrapping is a policy of reinvesting all the money a company
earns into the growth of that company. The owner may not draw a salary for
awhile. It's a process that can take 3 or 4 years. At the end of that time,
the owner has a debt-free business and recovers his recovers their unpaid
time from the profits the business now earns.
Over the years, I've developed about a dozen businesses using a
bootstapping strategy. Here's an example. My wife is a veterinarian. In
1980, she was asked to vaccinate several dogs at the owner's home. She
spent $25 and bought the vaccines. She did the housecall. She took the
money she made and invested it into more supplies. She did more housecalls. In 1985, she had enough housecall clients to buy a building and convert it into a veterinary hospital. The practice continued to grow. Today, she co-owns one of the largest veterinary hospitals in the San Francisco Bay
Area. From 1980-1983, she didn't draw a salary.
I think anyone who intends to build a multinational corporation
needs to bootstrap a business to success. It teaches them the importance of
wisely reinvesting profits into the growth of a company. Without this
lesson, public company officers believe they have a right to live off the
risk capital of their investors. Too many public companies lose money
because management insists upon excessive salaries.
You won't get rich by paying yourself an excessive salary. Your
excessive salary often leads to the bankruptcy of the company. You'll get
rich by making your company a success. Once it succeeds, you can sell your
stock in a merger at Market Capitalization. If you use my strategy, you'll
walk away in 5-7 years with $80 million.
There are sacrifices in building any company. If you expect your
investors to make those sacrifices, your company will fail. If you won't
work 12 hour days for several years for a middle-class income, don't take
your company public. In fact, don't start a company. Get a job in middle
management with a major firm in your industry.
Remember that success comes from sacrifice. It comes from making
the right decisions. It comes from keeping risks low while you keep rewards
high. The rewards must go to your company, not to your personal bank
account.
If you don't follow these bootstrapping rules, you won't create a
successful public company. The live off the investor strategy often
creates an SEC nightmare. If the SEC acts, it will make your attorney rich.
You didn't take your company public to make your attorney rich.

Whole Foods Increases Salary Cap for Execs
Executive pay has certainly become a hot topic in recent times. Last week's announcement by Whole Foods that it was increasing the salary cap from 14 times the average pay of all full-time employees at the company to a multiple of 19 is an attempt to provide a level of transparency regarding its executive compensation packages. Do you see Whole Foods' salary cap as an approach to head off any issues surrounding executive compensation at the company?

Many executives have inherited or stumbled into their walnut-paneled offices.
Some hold their jobs because they have developed one specialization, but their hold is precarious because of their unwillingness to broaden their horizons of understanding.
Someone has said that "experience is the great teacher, but education is the short cut to avoid the wasteful process of trial and error learning."
You too could probably learn to become a senior executive by experience, but it is our hope that you may shorten your development time through some of the principles outlined here.
Experience is excellent—but it is also the name everyone gives to his mistakes.
DT.
Executive Officer is the prized position desired by many in business.
