Innovation

 
 
      Why is it that the light bulb is associated with creativity or a new idea?  For starters, when we turn on the light...we can now see what was right in front of us...but for some reason...was not very clear.  Secondly, the light bulb also signifies the illumination of the mind through intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.

     There are many ways to innovate.  

Innovation can be in the form of the verbiage you use in, for example, a restaurant, "Do you want fries with that?" 

      One particular restaurant started using that phrase about 20 years ago and it has made them millions of $ in their coffers and put millions of pounds of fat on their clientele.  The phrase was innovative...the result...no so much...but we are only talking about innovation here:-)

     I recently heard a story about Franchise that had grown its membership by 50% in just 7 months after a new leadership team had taken over.  This did not happen just because they are great at organizing...but because they are great innovators.  

     Well...a member of the group complained to corporate...who had directly benefited both financially and in membership (this could be considered the same thing, but I don't look at like that) from the innovations this leadership team installed from day one.  

     They were told to do things by the book or they would be replaced.  I am not sure why corporate first did not look into what they were doing and the results of what they have accomplished in such a short time and was amazed at the short farsightedness of this.  I still am as I write this.

     They had created an exciting atmosphere that was drawing in people who wanted to be a part of this exclusive group.  Now they have to go about business as it used to be...which was ok...but nothing special.  

     I was at a sandwich shop the other day.  They have been in business for 33 years.  They are a US Franchise.  I see changes every few months in new things they are doing.  A company that has been in business for 33 years has implemented something new...IMAGINE THAT?

     The most successful companies are the ones that continue to innovate and push the envelope. 

     At the Kyusho Institute...we look to do the same...innovate.  This innovation comes not only in the methodology of the learning experience, but in the delivery as well and we continue to become a leader in this field.

     My question for you today is...Where can you make small slight changes that give great results to your relationships, business, or any part of your life? 

Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.

Is Knowledge Power?

In most cases, Knowledge is Power. When it comes to the martial arts...if you are teaching...then yes...Knowledge is Power or else no one would seek you out...BUT...Knowledge of what? If all one can do is dazzle someone with their BS, well...then the students, and the instructor for that matter...would have a false sense of security should they ever have to test their skills in a real confrontation. This is a case where Knowledge is being used to impress people...not to impress upon them the need to get on the mat and train. The key...IMO...is to train to reaction and response...and when I say this, I mean to do all of the above while understanding the nature of the threat level of the attack as well. There are times to just extricate yourself from the situation and there are times when the only way out to incapacitate the attacker, quickly. I have said this before...theory has its place. The important next part is to train the principles so that you so not ha

Hey!...Its on sale!!

We all like something on sale!  Who doesn't? What is more important...the price or the VALUE? Price is something we pay for a product or service. VALUE is what we get, or more importantly...the perception of what we get for a given price. We all have different perceptions of value.  Price is price...nothing to perceive here...just the exchange for pieces of paper with famous dead people on them. For me personally...price is secondary to the VALUE I will get if I decide to purchase that product or service. So here is my question for you today...What drives your purchase of things...price or VALUE?  Only you can answer that. Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.   Mark Kline is a short, bald, professional martial artist from NJ.  He is the architect of the PinPoint™ Method of Pressure Point Education for Martial Arts which is hosted by the Kyusho Institute.  He has tho
