Creative Genius YOU: Challenge Tip 8

Let's Get Evaluating!

I hope you had fun testing your ideas and writing down your observations.

What did you notice?

What went well?

What went not so well?

Where can you improve?

This week we are following on from last week.

This is an awesome way to help you get to the final product (hold your horses - we are still four weeks away from your finished product/service).

The processes you learn in this Creative Challenge will help you in all other areas of your life too - and I do hope that your creative juices are going crazy already.

So let's get tuck into this weeks challenge!

Challenge Tip 8

Let's Get Evaluating!

To do this successfully we need to go through the whole 'questioning' process again.

By the way I hope you can see and feel the power of asking empowering questions.

Following from the above questions, let's continue and ask; 'What can I do to improve this? What resources do I need now? Who can help me? Is this good, excellent or can I do better?'

Another way to evaluate your progress and to test your product or service or your masterpiece-in-the-making is to 'take the initiative, be bold' and share it with your loved ones.

OK, I know you nearly panicked!

They are usually the tough ones and we do usually get disheartened by their incorrect response.

Ok, so why not ask your random social media friends? Or maybe some forums? 

Use the means you have available (and I know you do have them available) and ask.

Remember, it may be a product or service you're working on for the benefit of others so it makes total sense to ask them now.

Yes you are at the unleashing your creativity phase but in life to succeed we have to take that first step - even if it makes us uneasy.

We only feel uneasy because we know internally that we are stepping outside of our comfort zone and by stepping out of it and feeling uneasy or even resistance actually means that you are in your growing phase.

See, it's all good really! :)

Once you get some feedback from random souls and once you evaluate your progress as well as the masterpiece-in-the-making get to re-working it with the additions, alterations and deletions.

This is a fun process.

Remember, YOU are in charge here - this is your masterpiece-in-the-making so have some fun with it.

Let me know in the comments below how this phase is for you and how I can help.

Now get evaluating and re-working it - we're almost at the finish line - I can smell victory! :D

Creative Genius YOU: Challenge Tip 3

Let's Get Pinteresting!

Well alrighty then!

How are you doing this week? Have you been enjoying Challenge Tip 1 and 2 so far? Have you shared it with your loved ones? Are your creative juices flowing?

I hope so!

There's still plenty time to get your loved ones onto the challenge and hey maybe you could do the challenge together? :)

OK, so just a quick re-cap before we dive in with this weeks challenge. Challenge Tip 1 was all about getting your creative genius tools together - which you did, well done - and then last week Challenge Tip 2 was broken down to part a, b and c - some thinking exercises, some nature gazing, some doodling, googling and getting your files and folders in place.

I know that everything seems to be available at an instant online and we all love the instant online world however do try to keep a physical offline folder/file too.

Just like your journal and/or notebook it is a cool handy tool.

Right - let's get into this weeks challenge - you ready? I sure am! :D

Challenge Tip 3:

Let's Get Pinteresting!

So this challenge is all about getting your files and folders in place and creating some creative boards for yourself.

You may have heard of 'Visual Boards' - a board where you put picture and images of all the dreams you want to achieve in your life and maybe you already do this - that's awesome. 

But i wanted to share a tool with you which i use - you may already be using - or looking into using - and what it does is that it helps you create online visual boards of what you like.

I use something called Pinterest (here's my profile http://www.pinterest.com/turboflow/ i was updating it today and had lots of fun).

This awesome and cool tool helps you create your own boards and 'Pin' pictures/images that you like.

Go to Pinterest dot com - set up a profile and start creating a board.

You could even create your very own 'Creative Genius YOU Challenge' board and if you do then please share it with me on Pinterest.

Do add your friends on their (especially your social media friends as they may already be using it) start following boards and re-pinning - you'll love the follow back!

Another awesome point about Challenge Tip 3 is that now you are starting to sift things to what you like and prefer.

In Challenge Tip 2 we were letting our mind wonder and google whatever and doodle what came to our mind and you may have had things pop into your head or even on google that you were not too happy with or did not resonate with.

So here we are getting selective with what we like.

It is always good to keep an open creative eye and do continue to do that however i want you to stay focused and happy with this challenge.

Sometimes we can get bored with a task we don't really enjoy or don't see any benefit from - so instead of getting you to focus on whatever i now want you to get specific with what YOU like.

It makes me happy!

So there you have it - this is our Challenge Tip 3 - time to get pinteresting!

As always do like, share and comment on this post or email me - i love to hear your feedback on this creative journey! :)

Happy New Year - 2014!

This 2014 let your creative juices flow! :)

Lefty or Righty?

So which one is you? Or are you both? :)

I found this infographic via http://visual.ly/29-ways-stay-creative and i think it's pretty cool.

Creative Genius Mindset!

So, I'm a firm believer that each and every one of us is a genius - in our own special and unique way.

I'm also a firm believer that we are all creative - again in our own unique and special way.

Now check out this map and study it and reflect on it and get excited and let your creative juices flow.

I know that somewhere on this map you will find a piece of you.

And if you want to go all out and unleash the genius within - then go ahead - study this map, visualise you doing what you love doing or want to do, say bismillah and become the creative you that is hidden deep within! :)

Be Inspired!

To be in your true creative flow and to allow those juices to run wild you need to be inspired.

So where the heck do you get inspiration to be creative?

Well, inspiration is all around us - all we need to really do is, look!

Firstly - give yourself permission to 'be creative'.

In last weeks post 'Unleash the Creativeness within You!' we looked at this in depth.

Once you have given yourself that permission you will automatically expand your vision and horizon and everything you look and see will have a new twist to it - a creative twist!

So go ahead, give yourself that permission and see how you get inspired - even from the smallest thing and your creative juices will instantly flow!

Comment below and let me know what inspires your creativeness.

If you want to work on some joint creative projects, showcase your work/talent or if there is something specific you want me to cover in these posts then email me on 'turboflowacademy@mail.com as i created this Academy for YOU! :)
