Volume 3 Chapter 4 Attracting Wealth in the Stirring of Thoughts [-]
Opportunities favor the innovative

Innovation is a kind of strength and the source of happiness.

——Think and Grow Rich

A successful person should be a conscientious person in life, pay attention to everything and observe every unexpected opportunity.You must know that "accidental opportunities" will only be given to those who are always prepared and to those who are innovative.

American industrialist Robin Weller is an example. His secret of success is "always be a rebel who does not compromise with reality."

Wheeler runs a small leather shoe factory with only a dozen employees.He knew very well that his small workshop would make it difficult to make a lot of money.With less capital, small scale, and insufficient human resources, it cannot compete with powerful peers in any aspect.So, how to change this situation?

Weller put a lot of effort into the style of leather shoes.He thinks that as long as he can find out new patterns and styles, keep changing and innovating, he can open up a new way out for himself.

He convened a dozen workers in the factory to hold a leather shoe style reform meeting, and asked them to do their best to design new shoes.Weller also set up a special reward method: whoever designed a style that is adopted by the company can get a reward of 1000 US dollars; if it is adopted through improvement, it will be rewarded with 500 US dollars; Dollar.

Weller's idea really worked, and it didn't take long for the three shoe samples that were adopted to be trial-produced. Of course, the three designers also received their due rewards of $3.

The first batch of products produced were sent to major cities for promotion. Customers appreciated these fashionable leather shoes, and these leather shoes were sold out in a short period of time.

Two weeks later, Wheeler's workshop had received more than 2700 orders, forcing workers to work overtime.Weller's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the company has expanded into 18 large-scale factories on the original scale.

However, this has prompted a new crisis. When there are more leather shoe factories, the supply of leather shoe technicians will be in short supply.Other factories have invested heavily to retain their workers, even if Wheeler raises wages, it will be difficult to attract workers from other factories.Without workers, the factory would be unsustainable, and that was the biggest headache for Wheeler.He has received a lot of orders, but if he fails to deliver the goods within the stipulated time limit, then he will compensate a huge amount of liquidated damages.So he called a meeting of workers from 18 leather shoe factories.He firmly believes that everyone can work together to solve the problem.

Wheeler told everyone about the problem of having no workers, and announced the method of rewarding innovation.The venue fell into silence, and everyone was thinking hard.After a while, an inconspicuous young man raised his right hand. After Weller agreed, he stood up and spoke: "Mr. Robin, there are no workers, we can use machines to make leather shoes." Weller has not expressed his opinion yet, Someone at the bottom mocked and said, "Boy, what machine do you use to make shoes? Can you make us such a machine?" The little worker timidly sat back in his seat after hearing this.

At this time, Wheeler came to his side, then took his hand and pulled him to the rostrum, and announced to everyone: "Everyone, this kid is right, although he can't make this kind of machine yet." , but this idea is very important and useful. As long as we continue to think along this line of thought, the problem will definitely be solved quickly. We can never be complacent or limit our thinking to a certain framework, so that we can continue to groundbreaking. Now, I declare the kid a $500 prize.”

After more than 4 months of research and experiments, a large part of the work in Weiler's leather shoe factory has been replaced by machines
In the end, Robin Weller became one of the great wizards of American business.

Robin Weller's success tells us: Whether in life or work, don't easily let go of any subtle phenomenon that has nothing to do with work, and always be ready to put down the most important task at hand and use great Pay attention, analyze, and research enthusiastically and wholeheartedly. When an idea appears, you may seize that opportunity.
