Creativity is essentially a skill for survival. However, a lot see creativity as a luxury and as such; try doing just about everything on their own, find challenges in strategy development, avoid investing in oneself, developing passion for certain things and going into them without proper investigation and development.
To be able to overcome the aforementioned challenges, an entrepreneur must first seek to understand how he approaches things. It is certain that once an entrepreneur understands the creative process, he can at any point apply it intentionally to boost his creativity as well give more strength to his initiatives. To understand this creative process, you must clarify situation, generate ideas, develop solutions and implement the solutions.
TIPS TO CONSIDER WHEN TRYING TO BOOST YOUR CREATIVE POWER
1 Stop and think before you start.
2 Embrace diversity.
3 Beware of love at first sight.
4 Take one step at a time.
5 Know when to move on.
IN DETAILS
1 Stop and think before you start.
As a vital trait of success, self awareness cannot be overemphasized. As an entrepreneur, you should know your self too well to a point of identifying your strong and weak points. It is at this point that you'll know exactly when to call for assistance, where you'll need to do amendments, and when you're okay to carry on.
Also, your ability to think and figure out how you can get certain things done, how and ways you can make your employees to work in conjunction with other to achieve a common goal, will make you successful in your business and would greatly reduce the way you sack your employees.
2 Embrace diversity.
What you see and experience has an influence on your creative horizon. Instead of confiding yourself to a specific workplace, you need to start going out, see new things, embrace new ideas, seek variety in what you do, where you go to, what you watch, even the books you study.
When you diversify what you do, think of, see, and read, you open yourself up for new opportunities. It is out of the abundance of tips that one can solve problems easily, because at that point, he doesn't struggle to get the tips he has already. If you know you are not adept at one part of the creative process, seek others who are. Challenge yourself to be open to other people's perspectives.
3 Beware of love at first sight.
Having passion for something is not bad at all. However, you must watch out whether you've explored it well to go in for, make efforts to be sure whether the direction you toe is the best for the passion you developed, and then get yourself ready for the challenges that may come along with the path you've chosen.
4 Take one step at a time.
Overloading of daily tasks list is considered by some entrepreneurs as the best, thinking that by doing do, they'll accomplish so much for increased productivity. However, this does more harm than good. By overloading your to-do list, you'll only end up doing a few things and at the end of the day feel stressed out and disappointed, blaming yourself for not doing enough. You can even end up omitting an important step that would render your efforts useless. Thus, you should instead create a manageable list of essential tasks that should be finished on a given day, shifting the rest for a later date.
5 Know when to move on.
Developing a passion for something is not enough for you to rush into it. No passion should get you obsessed that you conclude that it must be it order nothing else. You should make proper investigation into anything you choose to be one the safe side. Be sure that you’ve done a thorough job, you are still on target, and then move on.
