What if the distinction between business and doing good vanished? What if all those who engaged in business were committed to a deeper purpose, and all those committed to doing good were entrepreneurial and enterprising? What would it take for a world of seven billion such people to solve all the world’s problems? More and more people are looking for meaning and purpose in their lives as employees, as consumers, and as investors. More and more people have more than enough material goods and are more interested in the qualities of the goods they buy; in the experiences associated with the services they provide and buy; in the way the companies they buy from act as citizens; and in self-actualization—rising up Maslow’s hierarchy. As an increasing percentage of the population reaches the point at which they no longer need more stuff, what will they do, how will they live their lives? If you are one of these people, wondering where to go from here, how to “be the solution” in the twenty-first century, Be the Solution provides an original perspective on how to create a better world. Focused entirely on entrepreneurial and Conscious Capitalist solutions to the challenges and opportunities facing humanity, Be the Solution shows how the entrepreneurial passion to create a better world, in combination with Conscious Capitalist business practices, can solve far more of the world’s problems than any other approach. In combination with leading Conscious Capitalists such as John Mackey writing on “Conscious Capitalism,” leading social entrepreneurs such as Muhammad Yunus writing on “Social Business,” and leading legal reform experts such as Hernando de Soto writing on “Is Economic Freedom for Everyone?,” entrepreneurial educator Michael Strong lays out a philosophical, social, and legal framework for a FLOW vision through which all problems may be solved entrepreneurially. FLOW, Inc., is an organization cofounded by John Mackey and Michael Strong to promote Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of flow as optimal experience—the state in which we are so immersed in challenging, creative activity that we forget that time is passing. To be engaged in flow activities is happiness itself. Whether we are creators of enterprises or entrepreneurially creative within our life as employees, we can embody the entrepreneurial spirit and, in the words of Michelangelo, “criticize by creating.” In addition, FLOW refers to the global flow of goods, services, capital, humans, ideas, and culture, in a positive win-win-win world based on love rather than fear. Combining the best of the positive psychology and human potential movements with the best of free market thinking, FLOW offers a unique perspective on how to Be the Solution in the twenty-first century.

CB Insights study suggests that 42% of startups fail because they do not identify the right need, in other words: there is no need for the startup or product in the first place. The issue here is the lack of tools used to generate the ideas and validate those. Bottom line, this issue is about a structured approach to idea generation and problem-solving. Do you know that most people engaged in collective problem solving spend a lot of their valuable time in meetings, discussing ideas, which they think eventually do not add value to product or startup? Harvard Business Review survey suggests that 71% of managers feel that meetings do not help accomplish much, as they do not have specific templates and exercises to guide specific outcomes with engagement from participants. THE SOLUTION BOOK is going to help you in experimenting with ideas effectively by providing you steps on how to create a framework for coming up with new ideas and products, considering a variety of views, develop teamwork and collaboration keeping you better focused on your results and outcomes. The solution book consists of 101 easy to follow techniques on problem-solving and ideation. Startup, innovation and venture failures are expensive and justified only by lack of tools and data for analysis.

This book is going to push out the world changer in you. It has been written to bring out in you that which is to be but have not yet been, that which you need to be that you have not become and to draw out to you what you can be in this life and to your generation. Men are said to be born equal but we all know men are not equal. In the calendar of God things happen for a reason so you are born into this world for a reason, not just a mere reason but for a unique reason because you are not a coincidence. Get to understand who you are because you are the best option the world has to solve the reason why you are here. Its just you that is needed to make things right, do not fall off your destiny by loosing out on purpose for the purpose of a thing is best known to the manufacturer so find out from God today and live your life by his design and not by default. A little baby is like a blank disk drive when born, it knows and contains nothing until things are said to him/her and events happen around him/ her i.e. basically until the five senses start catching things around. Be like that young child and start catching stuffs that will enhance your destiny ride. The death of Jesus was to bring mankind back to the former glory of leadership, dominion, solution and divine relationship. If you are born again you are a solution either in the making or one already on duty because your world needs youWake Up! Your destiny assignments are too many for you to live a life of jeopardy, a life of ignorance or a life of self non-discovery. Wake Up! The light of God in you is meant for a purpose, His decision to push you forth is not 12 Michael Obembe without a reason, the blessings, gifts, talents and stuffs of God in you are not for personal enrichments they are for specific areas of the world so find those areas and fulfill destiny. Myles Munroe once said that your existence is a proof that something is finished that you are born to express or implement. In other words, God has finished an invention and you are the project manager here on earth. Nobody is born without a mission neither is anyone born a mistake nor an experiment but its your destiny from heaven that brought you here, that destiny of being a solution to your world. You are born with a solution destinyIt is in you. The destiny of a thing is in the thing so the solution ability you possess is right inside you all you need to do is to push it out. Do not live life as a spectator, stand and be that centre-stage actor you are meant to be. Do not live life as a photocopy, live the life as the original God created you to be. There is something unique about youits the mission and vision set ahead of you and it is your being different that makes you a world reference. Remember, only you are with a unique vision, mission, talent, and gift that the world does not have. Do not run away from your destiny, choose to achieve it and build your purpose for a mission There are things you need to know, things you need to remember, and things you need to start doing to be that solution you are born to be. That is what this book teaches; it teaches a life to be lived left unlived by many. Choose to be what God created you to be.

Psychoanalyst Carl Jung said that a life without meaning is unlived. Today our secular worship of the material, the superficial, and the instantly gratifying is as powerful as any ancient idol worship. While our problems appear to be the enemy, they are really our secret allies, and by wrestling with them we become whole. Weiner and Simmons show us how to rely on the natural, spontaneous images that emerge from our dreams, daily life, relationship problems, and symptoms as the seeds of our own healing. We must recognize that our problems have not been randomly inflicted on us; they have a purpose, to act as guideposts pointing the way toward healing and wholeness. Book jacket.
