The day after watching The Apprentices and doing a spurious ideas exercise using the Genius Symbols, it came to pass that I was asked to come up with some ideas for a modern holistic 2 hour workshop as a bonus workshop for the 4th Annual Energy Psychology conference.

I phoned my good friend and long time collaborator Nicola Quinn QED and we both got our symbol decks out.

• In the following 73 minutes, we generated the following ideas and titles for 23 modern holistic workshops.

I just had the painful experience of watching the current contestants on The Apprentice failing to come up with any really good or novel ideas for a beach product. As so often, I said, "God, I wish just ONE amongst them had a Genius Symbol set in their pocket!"

And so for fun, here is the Apprentice Beach Challenge - with the Genius Symbols.

Alex Kent, CEO of The StarFields Network, got hold of a pre-publication version of The Genius Symbols 18 months ago. Yesterday, a new company based on the direct vision he received on one  of his very first attempts to use the symbols to communicate with his unconscious mind (we call it the energy mind) started trading officially and took payment from the first customers.

This is a perfect example of how a vision functions differently from "just having a new idea" and provide much, much more information AND motivation to turn a vision into a fully functional, successful business.
