Creativity is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Here's how to get a good sweat in and love the process:
- Disruptive innovation requires us to value and focus on “how” (team & problem solving), less on “what” (product)
- Spend digging into a problem and get comfortable in that space by letting go of perfectionism, and being ok with the discomfort that arises
- Ideas arise from being in stand-by: Slow down, and use play and relaxation so your subconscious mind can push ideas into your consciousness
- Seek environments where you aren’t the expert, be curious and open, accept people who are different to you, this will heighten your/team’s creativity
- Don't wait for a perfect plan, scenario, environment, or reason to do / create. Start and allow your first few steps to be wobbly
