Idea Amplification

Bounce your thoughts.

Just like it’s hard to play basketball without a backboard; it’s hard to be

creative alone. Especially if you’re a solo entrepreneur, independent

consultant or spare room tycoon with employees, no coworkers or

nobody to take a five-minute break with to talk about your (potentially)

cool new idea.

Make sure you have at least fifteen people – each of whom are totally

different in their thinking styles and backgrounds – whom you can call upon

at a moment’s notice to bounce ideas off of. Also make sure that when they

take the time out of their busy day to be your creative backboard, you buy

lunch.

Remember: Creativity perishes in a vacuum.

What habits are preventing your best ideas from seeing the light of day?

Who might assist you in developing the ability to share your ideas?

And how many smart, cool people did you take out to lunch last week?
