Creativity isn't
some mysterious quality but it is a learnable, trainable skill that can be
sharpened as a process. Once you have mastered the process, you can use it to
solve problems in innovative, interesting ways that make others look at your
work and it gains more appreciation. Creativity is a power tool regardless of
whether the problem you are solving is a musical scale, a business plan, a
painting on canvas or a line of code.
Here are few
aspects that entrepreneurs need to look from history’s most creative brains.
1.Work Backwards, Pablo
Picasso
For any entrepreneurs, a black
slate is what appears when they start a particular task. Many nagging questions
arise even before we start. Ideas are
so tough to be born and Picasso gave a strategy to work with creative blocks. The
key was getting started before we know exactly what we wanted to do.
Inspiration here does
not come from the original idea, but from what happens when you allow yourself
to start working without any restriction or fear of messing up. Then your work will
lead you to your highest creativity. Always the root of creativity is to
create. So start making something.
2.Set Tasks for the Day,
Stephen King
King writes about 10 pages a day, which
equates to about 2,000 words, seven-days a week, every week. Do you think it’s
possible that this consistency and dedication is crazy even during holidays? Now
create a daily quota and stick to it and this is one of the most powerful
habits you can ever create yourself.
Start a small task for yourself
and work on it every day. You would even transform your hobby to a business
plan and eventually you will be the Stephen king in your field.
3.Play with Combinations,
Albert Einstein
Einstein, history's most famous
physicist, used to break through plateaus in his work and see problems from
different angles. Einstein used his mind to crush up many different ideas and
concepts and rearrange them all, and he calls this "combinatory
play".
Einstein's approach is simple,
narrow down your ideas to their most basic components without words. Next
step try to visualize as puzzle pieces and test different planning and
orientations to see which pieces fit together. Combine apparently different
elements and look for new patterns. Now play.
