In my experience small business owners, entrepreneurs and solopreneurs have so many wonderful creative ideas that never reach the light of day. It’s happened to me too. We just use our creative brains to kill them! Not enough time, not enough money, it’s already too late, and on and on. We’re just as good as creating ideas as we are at creating obstacles. They either just linger in our thoughts or on a to do list. It this way they end up zapping your energy and damaging your self-esteem. They become part of a constant negative background noise about what you’re not accomplishing.
Here’s some things you can to do turn those ideas into exciting opportunities that are a source of energy and positive feelings about yourself:
1-Write it down. Free up some space in your head, and look at the idea so you can start to really look at what is possible, what is important and exciting to you and what things you need to make it happen.
2-Examine the idea. What would it look like if you make it happen? What are the possible results? Have fun with it.
3-Does it fit with your values; your long terms goals, your vision? The answers to these questions are key and will tell you if this was just a fun idea or a great thing to work on and make happen.
4-Is it something that your clients need? Don’t get stressed about it, continue to have fun exploring your wonderful creative idea and get some reactions from your market.
5-Talk to your trusted advisors, the friends and colleagues who will be honest and supportive, talk to your coach.
Your creativity is a strength. Optimize it as a source of energy and self-esteem.
