Annie BushellAnnie Bushell's parents did all that they could to ensure that she had a happy childhood. But, she was encouraged to focus on their studies so that she could look forward to a comfortable, but not exciting, future. Annie was told that she should confine her creative activities, which included painting and poetry, to her spare time. Annie decided that this was probably the best course for her when she started work because the country like most others, was suffering from a period of relatively high unemployment. She kept painting and then realized that the division which her parents believe existed between creative activities and the work that she was doing was an artificial one. Annie found that the same processes which used to solve problems that arose with her art work could be applied successfully to problems she encountered at work. It also worked the other way, of course. She found a lot of support or this idea. Many of the biggest and most successful companies and private organizations worldwide were actively encouraging their executives and even, in some cases, all levels of their employees to think "outside the box" when looking for solutions to important problems or ways to improve productivity and reduce costs. This acceptance of creative thinking is not universal. Many equally successful companies actively discourage it, believing that it interferes with these systems which they have in place. Annie says, "Creativity is an important part of each person's real self. It should not be suppressed or confined to certain times." But, she says that breaking the rules could cost you a lot more than you realize. Even if your ideas could improve the results, the people around you are probably not likely to give them a fair hearing and will be upset. Your bosses may decide that you are a troublemaker or not focused on what is best for the company. This is Annie's first ebook. She believes that readers can use the ideas and methods she explains here to improve all areas of their lives. The feedback she has received from friends and colleagues that she shared these ideas with as being truly encouraging and gratifying. She says, "My book is based on our experiences and my research. Many people tested and proved ideas and methods which I used as the raw material for my own experiments." "I hope that all my readers will find these ideas as valuable as I do my business and personal activities."
