Synopsis

Do you need to be a genius or possess mystical talents to master yourself and become more creative?

Well, no.

Instead, you just need to know where to look for ideas and if you’re a writer, musician or artist wondering where to look, this book will help you.

This book is the second in a three-part series about the Power of Creativity for new writers, musicians, filmmakers, artists.

Over the proceeding chapters, you’ll gain chosen techniques for generating ideas.

You’ll also discover how to adopt the mindset of creative masters like Albert Einstein, Henri Matisse and Steve Jobs to get better at your craft and to unlock fresh thinking.

In this book, you will discover these creative strategies:

˃˃˃ 1. Go Prospecting for Ideas

Learn how to capture free-flowing thoughts, organise your thinking and come up with lots of little ideas faster using proven creative techniques from academia and the toolboxes of accomplished writers and artists.

˃˃˃ 2. Experiment With Form and Substance

When you’re an outsider, you’re more open to experimenting with form and substance, and that open-mindedness will help you inject a little bit of Henri Matisse or Albert Einstein’s thinking into your work.

˃˃˃ 3. Change Your Perspective

You don’t need to be an expert in your chosen field or craft to look or even to come up with little or big ideas because being an outsider gives you a unique perspective.

˃˃˃ 4. Embrace Constraints of Time and Money

If you’re new at what you do, you probably don’t have a lot of time to work alone or money for your creative projects and side-gigs. Not having enough time or money isn’t a hinderance; it’s an asset.

˃˃˃ 5. Become an Honourable Thief

I don’t want you to be accused of being a thief, so I’ll show you how to how to use other people’s ideas without compromising your sense of ethics (or getting sued) as well as how to build the work of your creative heroes.

˃˃˃ 6. Cultivate Intense Curiosity

An intense sense of curiosity is an essential part of the creative process and you can do it using a simple technique from the business world.

˃˃˃ 7. Be Open, Be Purposeful

Unlocking fresh thinking means being open to the world around you. Later when the moment comes, you’ll act on your ideas because you know there’s lots to be done.
