How To Think Like a Creator
by Michael Neill
"True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new."-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
* Employees are hopeful; Creators are inspired
* Employees expect to be rewarded for the work they put in; Creators expect to be rewarded for the difference they make
* Employees see others as the source of their income; Creators recognize their inspiration, skill and effort as the source of their income
--------------------Today's Experiment:--------------------
1. For the next week, consciously create one thing a day. It can be as simple as a carefully crafted e-mail or as complex as a painting or sculpture.
2. Where in your life are you thinking like an employee,wondering who will finally give you a break, an opportunity or a job?
Each time you notice yourself caught up in an "employee" mentality, make the shift to "creator" mode by asking yourself what you would love to create today. What could you begin towork on for its own sake? What would bring you great joy and meaning if you could bring it into being?
3. Create at least one proposal in the next month where you invite people to give you money for something you have or will create. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the responses you get.
Have fun, learn heaps, and may all your success be fun!
With love,
michael
