Pigs That Fly Hack: A Business Fable of Wonderful Destinies
A former boss said to me, “Your idea will work when pigs fly.”
The idea did indeed work. And the results were wonderful. Pigs were flying!
I didn’t wait for the next great idea. I created a process—or a hack—for coming up with timely ideas that make a difference. It’s a shortcut to impactful ideas. You can use the hack, too, if you wish.
I sat down and wrote a step-by-step how-to on this hack. To make it more fun, I wrote it in the style of a business fable. You read that right—a fable. It’s just a lot more fun divulging my secret this way.
It will take you about an hour to read it and fully understand the system. Is it worth it? What’s one great idea worth to you? What are a lot of great ideas worth to you?
You’ll find that the ideas you cherish are the ‘flying pig ideas.’ When your boss says, “That’ll work when pigs fly,” you’ll know you’ve got a terrific breakthrough idea.
So, start the process. Start manufacturing ideas today.

About the author
Jon Spoelstra
36 books138 followersI’m still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating, or murder.
Somewhere squishing around that thought, I write murder mysteries about old guys solving murders. If you’re under 40, you should pass on these novels. Wait at least ten years, then you’ll enjoy and appreciate them more.
If, however, you’re over 50, these mysteries might hit your sweet spot, well worth the try.
I’m a Wall Street Journal best-selling author, having written eleven novels and four non-fiction books. The Old Guys Murder Mystery series has been, by far, the most fun.
The Old Guys Murder Mystery books are fast reads. Old guys like things fast.
Happy reading,
Jon Spoelstra

I would have given this 4 _1/2_ stars if it were possible. I read it on Kindle & that may explain something I believe was a formatting problem. Every once in a while, sometimes more than others, "3/4" was inserted for no obvious reason. At first I thought it replaced commas. No. What it seems to be is "--" although by book's end I did see one "-" making me uncertain. Whatever was intended, it was jarring.
Shortly before the time the secret of the "hack" was revealed or confirmed, I was ready for the book to wrap up, but kept going to the end. The fable worked well, as did the bits of humor. Probably the "hack" could have been given quicker, but it made it a bit more memorable & also handled a lot of what I call "Yeah, but"s, answering doubts & keeping it light reading.
One "Yeah, but" I appreciate him handling is how you tailor your "hack" & can even adjust it after you commit to it.
The Kindle doesn't let you write where Spoelstra wants you to write, but that's not a true handicap if you buy into the book's premise.
Of course Spoelstra uses this "hack" himself, so this is not his only book. Not surprising. What was surprising, but shouldn't have been, is I see in addition to his non-fiction "Ideas books" he has written fiction including 3 "Old Guys Murder Mysteries." Hmmm. I liked his style enough I may hunt them up..._after_ I do my personal "hack" from reading this book. I'm definitely reading his first non-fiction book, Ice to the Eskimos : how to market a product nobody wants.
