What I’ve learned about Creativity and Entrepreneurship thus Far…

1. Ideas are the seeds of entrepreneurship, but they need to be properly nurtured to grow into anything.
2. Creativity comes easiest when I’m having an in-the-moment great experience, doing fun things, and I’m in a go-with-the-flow mindset.
3. Creativity DOES NOT flourish when I try to force it and plan it. It’s by chance and from the heart. The key to creativity is to begin to realize when I’m in the right space to be creative and own the moments.
4. How I create the creative space described in #2 if I’m at home….

I clean my apartment. I listen to uplifting music and I sometimes dance or move to the music to get a full-body feeling of positive emotion. (I like the 10+ minute versions of positive music most… these are very helpful for getting into a state. I’ve linked an example at the bottom of this article). Watch a movie or youtube that evokes emotions (informational based watches don’t seem to work for me to get into a space of creativity though). Bake or cook something I love. Look around my apartment and cherish and awe the space I’ve made for myself. Think of anything positive. Look for beauty. THEN, I sit in a positive space. Hold onto it, and I begin from this state.
