So many people tell me that they could never do anything other than meet with clients. They could not imagine having any products to offer others. Well, as Henry Ford has said "Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you are right." A powerful working definition of creativity Here is a powerful working definition of creativity that I require all of my members and mentees to adopt: "Creativity is simply looking at something that has always been there and seeing something that has never been seen before." Think on that one for a little while. Creativity is simply looking at something that has always been there and seeing something that has never been seen before. Be careful of arguing for your limitations Author Richard Bach has said "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they are yours." What this means for us is to not limit ourselves in how many ways we can successfully build our practices. You may have heard me say this before - "If you can write a 7 item grocery list, you can write an article." And then an article can become a free report, an e-course, an e-book, a presentation, a CD and/or DVD series, etc. We have opportunity to work once and get paid, get paid, get paid, get paid.................. And if that is not something worth celebrating, I don't know what is! |
