Tips to help get you in the creative flow

  • Experiment and take risks
    The first step towards getting into a creative flow is to experiment and take risks. Trying new things and pushing past our comfort zones can lead to new opportunities and possibilities. As an entrepreneur, experimentation is a powerful way to determine what works and what doesn’t in business. Don’t fear failure, it’s all part of the experimenting process. Giving up is the only real failure in experimentation.
  • Put in effort to be creative
    Many people mistakenly believe that some people are “creative” and some people aren’t, but creativity is actually an essential part of being an entrepreneur. Putting in an effort to be creative is crucial for capturing ideal clients and building a successful business. Entrepreneurs use creativity to stay ahead of the curve by adapting to changing market trends, new technology, or economical circumstances. Ultimately, creativity is an important factor in keeping businesses going.
  • Shift your mindset around creativity
    It is important to shift the mindset around not being creative and realise that everyone has the ability to tap into their creativity. Creativity is not just about creating something aesthetically pleasing, but rather about coming up with new ideas and solutions to problems. Using imagination and finding innovative ways to improve our life and businesses is important.
  • Collaborate with others
    Collaboration with other entrepreneurs in your industry can be powerful and beneficial for sharing audiences and sparking creativity. It’s recommended to think broadly about potential collaborators and consider those who offer a follow-on to what you do. By bouncing ideas off of other entrepreneurs, you can gain new input and perspectives that can help you break out of a creative rut.
  • Take regular breaks
    Taking regular breaks is important for clearing your mind, reducing stress, and increasing creativity. The speaker acknowledges that they struggle with taking breaks but still emphasises their importance. Whether it is taking a walk outside, meditating, or listening to music, finding ways to disconnect from your work and reset your mindset can be invaluable.
  • Seek out inspiration
    Inspiration is crucial for getting into a creative flow. Looking at other work can help inspire creativity and get out of blocks. Even small inspiration can lead to a powerful idea. Seek inspiration from different sources such as books, podcasts, blogs, or attending conferences. Inspiration helps to get the creative juices flowing and be inspired to make changes that will benefit your business.
  • Focus on authenticity and originality
    Authenticity and originality are crucial for creating content that resonates with your audience. While it can be helpful to seek out inspiration from others, it is important to focus on staying true to your brand and messaging and creating content that is unique to your business.

In conclusion, getting into a creative flow is all about experimenting, taking risks, and shifting your mindset around creativity. Collaboration, taking regular breaks, and seeking inspiration can also help to get those creative juices flowing. By focusing on originality and authenticity, you can create powerful content that resonates with your audience and ultimately leads to success. So, go forth and get creative!
