We know as home based business owners, creativity, adaptability and ethics enter into many of the decisions we have to make on a daily basis.
Our creativity is tested not only when we design ad campaigns, emails and sales pitches but also when we face challenges and problems. We have to adapt to an ever changing internet world and we strive on a daily basis to be honest and ethical in our dealings with prospects and customers.
So how creative and adaptable are you?
The answer to the following will indicate your personality and decision-making motives. (Not proven or psychologically sound, but the lesson in creative thinking is interesting, especially if you don't to dwell on it too long):
"You are driving alone in two-seater car on a deserted road in blizzard conditions, when you see another car which has recently run off the road and into a tree. There are three people in the stranded car, none of whom is injured:
an old friend, who once saved your life
your childhood sweetheart greatest lost love
an elderly lady
No-one has a phone.
The likelihood of any more passing traffic is effectively zero.
The conditions are too dangerous for people to walk anywhere.
It is not possible to tow the crashed car.
The nearest town is an hour's drive away."
The question is: Given that your car is just a two-seater, in what order should the stranded people be taken to the nearest town?

ANSWER: There is no right or wrong answer to this. It's a daft scenario anyway, but the most creatively balanced solution is arguably:
Ask your old friend to drive the old lady to the town and send help, while you and your lost love keep each other warm and wait for help to arrive.

 | | Great post and an enjoyable read, thanks for sharing! |
| | |  | | Great Blog Johnny - it's makes one think. In this business you have to adapt to changes... what works one day, may not work the next...like Jack, I would squeeze us all into the car. |
| | |  | | Excellent blog Johnny but I Think in a real life situation I'd some how get all of them in the car. Since the conditions are too dangerous you may not be able to even get back, and like you say, The likelihood of any more passing traffic is effectively zero. Trying to stay warm with that lost love sounds good but I'd get all of them in the car some how |
| | |  | | Great one John, now that's thinking outside the box. TB&L my friend. |
