Creativity in Business is always something business owners are thinking about to get ‘ahead’ of the game or to get an edge over the competition.

I thought I’ll share a Joke to tickle some of your brain cells to get things going… Hopefully things sparks some creative ideas in your mind.

Young Jack bought a horse from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove up with no trailer and said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.’ Jack replied, ‘ That’s OK then just give me my money back.’ The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I went down town and spent it already.’ Jack said, ‘Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.’ The farmer asked, ‘What are you going to do with him? Jack said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’ The farmer said, ‘You can’t raffle off a dead horse!’ Jack said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’

A month later, the farmer met up with Jack and asked, ‘What happened with that dead horse?’ Jack said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.’ The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’ Jack said, ‘Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.’ Jack eventually grew up and now works in a town near you.

Hope you had a good laugh and maybe even some creative ideas! Obviously, it’s a good idea to have integrity and honesty when you’re doing business. Creativity in business is not always about coming up with new ideas or doing something new. Creative ideas can come from doing existing things differently or presenting it in a different way.
