Before we figure out how to get ideas we must discuss what ideas are, for if we don't know what things are it's difficult to figure out how to get more of them. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Need to Come Up with Ideas and Solutions, Read This, April 23 2004
This review is from: How to Get Ideas (Paperback)
I won't write a long review about this small but powerful book. But if you are looking at this review and this book, you need ideas.

I'm a professional copywriter with years of experience and ideas are sometimes hard to come by. Yet it is a must in my business. I bought this book to see if it would give me some ideas or some ways to get them.

Well, about half way through, I had an entire campaign written for a client --- a really brilliant campaign that was no doubt better than one I might have come up with had I not read the book.

So get it. Just get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valve to open up your flow of creative juice., Aug 28 2003
By Michael Chiodi "author, The Art of Building P... (St. Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Get Ideas (Paperback)
Ideas. Ideas are the foundation of any successful project. It doesn't matter whether you're working on project at work or on a project at home -- if you can't come up with good ideas to help it along, it won't turn out very well. As a professional personal coach, I always assume that my clients are naturally creative. Yet, sometimes they need a boost to get the creative juices flowing. This easy to read book from an advertising wizard will inspire you to do just that. Read it, and you'll become more idea-prone everyday.
