3 Ways To Never Run Out Of Ideas

We assume that our ideas our limited and that stops us from sharing them.

By accepting this limiting belief, we assume that we're not creative, shouldn't write/ create videos and stay in our shell. By changing these beliefs, we can share our ideas and learn at the same time.

Unfortunately, most of us don't realize this and assume that some people are full of ideas and we're not.

We're going to look at 3 ways to get better at getting new ideas.

1: Own Your Idea, Then Share It

To share an idea, you need to own it and believe in it. Confidence is vital.

Imagine sharing an idea only to falter when the first question about it makes you lose faith in it. People are genuinely curious, so helping them understand your idea is key.

If you have an idea, dive deeper into it. Once you really understand it, share it.

2: Ideas Don't Have To Be Complex, Just Clear

When sharing ideas, you need clarity on them. Most people don't own their idea, and don't have clarity on it.

When you share an idea you're bound to get different perspectives. The more you understand them, the clearer it gets. It can be anything:

  • "I have an idea for us to find better restaurants" - How? Can we experiment it this weekend? Let's pick a restaurant based on your idea.

There's nothing complex here. Sharing with a friend, trying to apply it and seeing what happens can take your idea a long way.

3: Observe The Loop Of 1 and 2.

As you do 1 and 2 in sequence, you realise that it's an endless loop.

When you share, you get clarity. When you get clarity, you also get new ideas. The key here is to observe new chains of thought that arise when you're asking OR being asked questions.
