Lessons in Creativity: Can One Paper Clip Get You a House?

This story is something that all of us, especially entrepreneurs can learn form.
This is the Story of Kyle MacDonald and the Red Paper Clip.

Kyle’s quest to trade a paper clip for a house has successfully ended one year after he posted his entry in Craiglist, which actually is another story.
But the lessons still abound.

This is creativity at its best. It reminds me of the Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Homepage where he sold one million dollar’s worth of pixels! And he is still earning from all the attention the media has given him. I supose Kyle is also getting his fair share of fame - and interviews. And I think there will be a movie soon. And a book. Wow! Offshoots of a great idea. The power of creativity.

Remember:

There are still a lot of ideas which could make your dreams come true.

It doesn’t need a lot of money to make it big and realize your goal.

The internet is a powerful force that can help you attain your objectives.

You do not need to be a genius to succeed.

Creativity can take you anywhere you wish to go.

I am sure that there are a lot of stories like these, recent and ancient. Do you know any of them?

And the more important question: Do you have the creativity to succeed in business?

It only takes one bright idea to change your life. And the world. And the good news is, each person has more than one good idea. The catch is to unleash that idea and put it into action.
