In order to be an innovative entrepreneur, you have to be willing to think. That thought process has to be one in which you look at what is being done or being sold and decide if there is a better way, a new concept, or a product improvement that is more than just superficial.
Critical thinking allows the mind to look beyond the obvious, that which is on the surface, as see what could be better. I remember an ad on television several years ago in which the company claimed to not have made this or that but they made those things better, more colorful, lighter, or more effective. That’s critical thinking and the source for real innovation.
Another necessity for innovation to take place is cooperation between people of like minds. It is important to get input from people who want you to succeed and to let that input help you innovate. Professional athletes have coaches, successful musicians have teachers, and successful entrepreneurs have like minded thinkers.
So … here is my proposition: Let’s talk! I don’t know what your business is and at this point you don’t know mine. But, I am looking for like minded entrepreneurs who want to think through their choice in businesses looking for innovative ways to make them better. Join me! My twitter account is @davewellman.
We can help make our businesses better. Let’s change our worlds!

Hi Dave,
I like your posts about thoughts. I don’t consider myself an inovative entrepreneur, but I’m working on changing my thinking.
I’ll come back again to read your other posts here too.
Since 4 week I’m also on twitter, so consider yourself followed by me.
We do have in common that we both seem to be interested in John Counsel’s work and thinking about Network Marketing.
Have a nice day.

Deanna,
Thanks for the thoughts. I think that the more you think about it, the more you will realize that you are an innovative entrepreneur. Anyone who wants to “tackle” the network marketing business, must be both innovative and entrepreneurial.
