Description

Getting lost in ideas

Most people do not think with a step-by-step method - and they rely much on their natural brain skills. 

A lot of us end up feeling overwhelmed and stuck, or simply afraid of tackling certain challenges.

We start and stop projects, we collect ideas in notebooks and never execute, we feel at a loss when presenting an idea, and even offering the right gift to our friends takes weeks of back-and-forth and mental rut. 

Step-by-step techniques to think like a professional

But thinking, generating ideas and making decisions is a muscle to train and this course introduces 2 of the most advanced techniques to practice confidently. 

These techniques originate from advertising, an industry that sells for more than 1.2 trillion dollars a year of ideas. A sector where waiting to be struck by lightning and "get an idea" would be completely irrational. 

So we adopted professionals' best methods to create simple but highly efficient techniques to gain enough confidence to present an idea to our clients.

This course helps anyone acquire two fundamental techniques in less than 2 hours:

  1. generating ideas faster, by putting ourself under time pressure

  2. getting confidence in the best idea to solve a problem by using a simple and rational model

Thanks to these two techniques, anyone can then go on tackling problems that seemed insurmountable, from starting a business, keeping a habit, or changing career. 


Who should take this course?

This course has been taught to thousands of participants in real life before being adapted to digital. 

  • Entrepreneurs have seen a direct increase in their earnings in the weeks following the use of better decision tools, and we have helped hundreds of them. 

  • Students of Master's degrees have picked up better career choices in less than 60 minutes because they could compare their options rationally. 

  • Digital Nomads have improved their work-life balance by generating more options.

  • Diplomatic staff in 20+ countries have generated better campaigns to reinforce their presence in the country. 

  • Social entrepreneurs and refugees in Uganda have planned business ideas after being exposed to the training.

  • Illustrators and professional creatives have seen their techniques of work sped up to deliver better work to their clients and find new ones

The course is extremely practical and thanks to the included exercises it will be easy for you to do the work while following along. 

You both learn and practice, so by the end of the course you already have solved an important challenge of yours AND adopted a new skill.

The TL,DR review of this course: Get this course & get rid of the paralysis caused in our lives because of indecision. --- I'm the most indecisive guy in my family. And it has caused massive problems in my life: from personal relationships and career choices to business setbacks and health, indecision robbed me of my joy. Most of it has been a result of some deep-rooted fear from my childhood. Here's a common theme in my life: I want to do something, I make a list/plan of the next steps, I get overwhelmed & I quit. Too many options. Too many courses. Too many ways to skin a cat! Cut short to about 15 minutes ago, I've never felt so liberated after practicing the "Brain Writing" & "Strategic Matrix" that have been so well explained by Charlelie! I've had way too many "Aha" moments in the course that it's absolutely unreal! I wish there were more case studies included but then it really has everything we need to really generate tons of ideas FAST and then deciding on the best ones! Thanks again Charlelie & good luck to everyone! Cheers!

Sehr guter Kurs, gut strukturiert, klar verständlich. Gezeigt wird, wie man ein gutes Brainstorming macht, wie man die besten Ideen auswählt und wie man ein Brainstorming in einer Gruppe macht. Obwohl ich bereits vieles kannte, hat es mir gut gefallen und es gab noch viele hilfreiche Hinweise für mich. Empfehlenswert!
