Are you feeling stuck?

If so, you’re not alone. Most people today are worried about what’s next. Change is coming at an accelerating rate. The economic and political landscape is in turmoil. How can you move ahead when the future looks so ambiguous and uncertain?

Have you been:

• Overlooked for promotions at work? Undervalued by your boss and other leaders in your organization?
• Uncertain about how to increase your value to your employer or clients?
• Ignored by prospective employers?
• Worried about your future?

But you don’t have to be a victim of change and uncertainty. You can actually master it, accelerate your career and gain more satisfaction and joy out of life.

Your best best to get unstuck is…

To expand your creativity.

It’s the skill that employers value the most today, according to multiple surveys.

Creative people can make headway even during the most uncertain of times, like a sailboat tacking against the wind. Its an unmatched business and career accelerator.

Ideas…

• Give you new options you couldn’t see before.
• Generate momentum.
• Differentiate you.
• Help you to overcome the “gravity“ of the status quo – so you can soar.

But there’s just one problem: No one TEACHES you have to become an effective creative problem-solver. Dabbling in creativity doesn’t work. To create real value, you need a system, a repeatable process.

That’s right. Creativity isn’t a mythical bolt from the blue, a mysterious touch by an unseen Muse.

It’s a skill, a process, a set of tools and practices that anyone can master.

The solution: A simple, 5-step process that works within Evernote

That’s why I wrote MaxThink: Get unstuck. Uncover new opportunities. 10x your creativity with Evernote! – to share with you a simple 5-step process you can use to transform your potentially valuable ideas into REAL value!

You can use this easy-to-implement process to significantly increase your creativity – and the results you can achieve with it.

Here’s what’s possible for you

If you understand how to generate creative ideas and bring them to life, you can literally write your own ticket – solving challenges that held you back in the past, creating greater value in your work, and seeing new possibilities for your career and life.

If you set up Evernote properly, it can support a consistent end-to-end creative process that will deliver a steady stream of VALUE to you. This proven process, which I call the Idea Momentum Framework, looks like this:

By the way, this isn’t my proprietary idea development process. It’s one that the majority of creativity experts agree upon. It works!

“As someone who creates a ton of content, I need something to keep me organized – and Evernote is my tool of choice. I thought I was using it effectively. Then I got a copy of Chuck Frey’s new book, MaxThink – and my mind was blown. I learned many new things about Evernote I can do right now to speed up the content creation process. This resource is one you must get now – or watch your peers get it and crush your business.“ – Phil Gerbyshak, LinkedIn Social Selling Trainer and author of 5 books and over 2,500 articles

I’m now about to share what I’ve learned with you. I’ve written a comprehensive guide that shows you, step by step, how to use this process to efficiently generate, manage and implement your best ideas. I’ve added a wealth of resources, including attractive, ready-to-use templates, that will enable you to get started using this process immediately to skyrocket your creative results.

You won’t find this information anywhere else – not from the Evernote blog, nor from any of the experts who blog about this remarkable personal information database.

When you invest in this book, you will automatically qualify for any future updates to it (I expect to publish new editions with additional creativity techniques and resources on roughly a yearly basis).

VALUE OF THE BOOK & UPDATES: $100 or more

“There are a lot of books on creative problem-solving, that don’t give you specific tools to implement their techniques. There are many books that explain how to use software, but don’t give you any frameworks for how to use it to solve real problems. Chuck Frey’s book helps bridge that gap, uniting the abstract theories and practical tools together in a succinct package.” – Tiago Forte, author of Building a Second Brain: Unlock Your Creative Potential Using Evernote

My qualifications

I have written about brainstorming and creative problem-solving techniques for over 20 years, and founded and managed the world’s largest website devoted to innovation from 2002 to 2012 (InnovationTools.com). I continue to write about creativity tools and techniques on my personal blog and on the Mind Mapping Software Blog, the #1 website covering mind mapping and all forms of visual thinking.

I have spent 20+ years seeking the best idea generation, capture and management tools – and now I’m convinced I’ve found it in Evernote and the creative process I outline in this book.

“Does technology distract you from your creative work? Learn to use it to your advantage. Chuck Frey’s book offers valuable advice for using Evernote to support and sustain the creative process.” – Anne Janzer, author of The Writer’s Process

 Picture this: You, creative genius

Imagine that you’re consistently using the simple process and templates of MaxThink to evaluate your ideas, select the best ones and then execute them.

Your momentum is accelerating.

Your career is looking up.

You feel amazing.

You’re facing multiple opportunities, because some people with authority saw your ideas, what you’ve done with them – and they want you to do the same for them.

Your boss and clients are looking at you differently – admiring your creative instincts and your fresh insights into their challenges and opportunities.

And your peers are wondering, “Where did YOU come from?”

All this – and more – is possible if you simply adopt the 5-step Idea Momentum development process.

• You’ll have a repeatable process for bringing more of your ideas to life – imagine what that could be worth to you!
• You’ll be armed with a set of templates and tools that enable you to be creative – on demand
• You’ll have a powerful way to differentiate yourself from your peers and impress your boss or clients
• You’ll have the ability to see possibilities and opportunities that are invisible to your peers – making you the savviest person in the room
• You’ll be poised to take on bigger goals and challenges than you ever dreamed possible!

“I’ve long been a believer that the right tools can make the difference between a good outcome an a great one. I’ve used Evernote for quite a few years to help me write my books and store new ideas. Chuck Frey’s new book has given me a host of new ideas and ways to improve my use of Evernote to be more creative. It’s the only book like it among all the other Evernote tutorials. I definitely recommend it!“ – Stephanie Diamond , author of “The Visual Marketing Revolution” and over 8 other marketing books

Your return on investment: Off the charts

All it takes is one winning idea and this book will pay for itself many times over. Even an incremental improvement in one area of your work is potentially worth hundreds or thousands of dollars to you. Achieve this modest goal and you’ll already have paid for the book and templates several times over.

Armed with all of the knowledge, tools and resources I’m going to share with you, your take-away value over the next year could easily range into five or six figures. That’s right – your best idea could be worth $10,000 to $100,000 in the next 12 months. At that point, your investment in these tools and resources is absolutely minuscule.

You can’t afford to stand still any longer. It’s time to claim the creative value opportunities that are yours!
