“Good ideas are not adopted automatically.
They must be driven into practice with courageous
patience.”
~ Hyman Rickover
How many ideas do you have percolating,
yet you’re stuck, overwhelmed, and in inaction? What stops you?
You want your ideas to have
an impact – on your business, family, community, or the world. IMPACT©
is the mnemonic for a system I developed that represents the sequence of
thoughts and actions that help you position your ideas for profit.
I - Initiate your idea.
Apply critical and creative thinking to choose the idea on which you’ll
focus. Then capture your idea details.
M - Mold your message.
Organize your details to give structure to and gain clarity about your
idea.
P - Plot your strategy.
Develop your idea implementation strategy. Work with a trusted partner
who can see what you may overlook.
A - Attention…command It.
Use techniques that capture people’s attention so that they’ll hear
your message and help you implement your idea.
C - Communicate for action.
Employ effective communication and presentation skills to convey your
idea and garner necessary support.
T - Terminate assertively.
Ask for what you need to move your idea forward.
Great ideas occupy smart
brain cells. Follow a system to make
an IMPACT© with your ideas and position them for profit.
