3 Steps to Relight the Creative Fire
Time and again, the three-step method I've dubbed the "Da Vinci Approach" has proven to be my secret weapon. More than just a strategy, it's a transformative experience that makes us competitive in innovation, resilience, and problem-solving, allowing us to reach goals and solutions that were once thought not possible. This approach has helped me solve the unsolvable, achieve the unachievable, and dream again.
The Power Playlist
All this talk of Power Playlists raises the question: how do we curate our own? This takes time, experimentation, and exploration. If you don't already know what your inspirational tools are, the best approach is to try them all out. I've listed TEN of my favorites here, but there are a myriad of other creative outlets and inspirational tools you can explore. Ask your friends and family what inspires them. Comb through your past and reflect on what has previously helped you overcome challenges. Test different outlets one by one until you find one that speaks to you. Remember, crafting the perfect playlist is a journey that may take years, adapting as we grow and enter new life stages. That’s perfectly fine. Embrace the process and savor the journey of discovery.
Master of 17
We've all heard the saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none." While I agree we can't master ALL trades, I disagree with the overall sentiment. If it takes 10,000 hours to become a master at something, we can master 17 skills or trades in our lifetimes and still retire at 72. People often tell you to "stay in your lane." Well, what if your "lane" is a 17-lane freeway? Maybe my lane includes being a pianist, singer, composer, author, speaker, chef, soccer player, comedian, and more. Who says we can't be" I say we should.
