self-reflection:
Reflect on the formula: (ideas + action = innovation)
- How good are you at coming up with new ideas?
- If you were better at it, what difference would it make?
- How good are you at taking action on your ideas?
- What stops you or holds you back?
- What’s one action you could take today to move one of your ideas forward?
taking action:
Jump into google and research an idea that has transformed your life.
- Who came up with this idea?
- What inspired them?
- What obstacles did they face?
- How did they overcome them?
Go back to the roots of how your business or organization was formed.
- Who came up with the idea?
- What was the catalyst for the idea?
- What challenges did they face when bringing their idea to life?
- What can you learn from them?
- How can you incorporate this original essence in what you do today?
