For most of my life, I thought originality was something other people were born with. You know, the “creative geniuses” who seem to pluck brilliant ideas out of thin air. I wasn’t one of them.

Instead, I was the practical one, the logical one, the person who stuck to what worked. My ideas were safe. Predictable. The kind of insights that made people nod politely but never say, “Wow, I hadn’t thought of that before.”

Capture that Spark Even if You Aren’t Born with It

But what I didn’t know is that you don’t have to be born with a creative spark of genius. You can learn to be original and improve upon with consistent practice.

It took time, but with determination and practice I taught myself to think in new and exciting ways that are less predictable and didn’t bore the heck out of people!

Let me share what worked for me, so you can stop recycling tired ideas and contribute your own genius ideas to the conversation.
