“It seems to be one of the paradoxes of creativity that in order to think originally, we must familiarize ourselves with the ideas of others.” — George Kneller

- Good News #1: There really is no such thing as an “original” idea or concept.
- Good News #2: Please bear with me and let me explain how you can easily become a Prolific Creative Genius:
I’ve been in the fashion business for over 35 years. For over 20 of those years I was a private label, ladies apparel manufacturer. What that means is my company designed, sold, manufactured and shipped ladies apparel to every major retailer in the USA.
The difference between a private label manufacturer and a brand name designer/ manufacturer (e.g. Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors), is that a private label manufacturer attaches a retailer’s name label to the garments, not their own company label, and ships the apparel, with the retailer’s name label, back to the retailer’s stores. The brand name designer/manufacturer puts their own brand name label in the apparel and, they then ship to the retailer’s stores (e.g. Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Saks).



This article is the first of two articles on “Information”. The second article that I’m working on, will give you a more general and broader view of varied approaches, for accumulating information.
You finally mustered up the courage to break on through to the other side of ordinary and joined the discriminating and distinctive world of your fellow humans who are dissatisfied, excited, frustrated, motivated and are “doing it” and “taking care of business”, in the world of “extraordinary.”
