&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 305px; HEIGHT: 313px" height=927 src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/8/1/7/1/0/212200-201718/handonstickshiftcleanedup.jpg?a=8" width=996&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;There is an inherent conflict between running a business (status quo) and innovating (change).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Business owners need a split personality.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;One personality needs to cut costs and control operations.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;See the &lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;right hand&lt;/SPAN&gt; in the picture – &lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;steady on the mouse&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The other personality needs to inspire innovation and creativity.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"&gt;
&lt;P dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;See the &lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;left hand&lt;/SPAN&gt; in the picture – &lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;shifting into innovation mode&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Innovation frequently comes in increments that build on the experience of others.&amp;nbsp; So, it is critical to stay up to date.&amp;nbsp; That is much easier said than done!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Most business owners are just too busy to read all the books and articles about innovation and figure out what will work in their business or industry.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;That’s where I&lt;EM&gt;shift&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;#8482; can help!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Learn from others and share what you’ve learned.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I&lt;EM&gt;shift&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;#8482; – &lt;EM&gt;Innovation Shift&lt;/EM&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Innovation requires a mental shift.&amp;nbsp; This is similar to the physical shifting of the gears in a car – downshift for uphill climbs – and into overdrive for when you are free to cruise.&amp;nbsp; Mentally shifting gears is a learned skill – and the first step is awareness.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I&lt;EM&gt;shift&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;#8482; – is a free ebooklet.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Since we learn best from stories and examples, this ebooklet is full of practical and transferable tips and examples.&amp;nbsp; In a quick-read format, it summarizes key insights from many past, present and forward-thinking experts.&amp;nbsp; To obtain a free copy, please click here&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;A href="http://ishift.org/files/8/1/7/1/0/212200-201718/IshiftBooklet10_2_09.pdf"&gt;Ishift Booklet&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I&lt;EM&gt;shift&lt;/EM&gt;.org – is a blog.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;We also learn from dialogue.&amp;nbsp; Ishift.org provides an online forum for people to share their ideas and stories.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Join the I&lt;EM&gt;shift&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;#8482; community.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;With the give and take of dialogue and the infusion of insights, practical tips and new management tools, you’ll be positioned to innovate – and transform your business. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Please share what you have learned!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
