One question. What’s the biggest thing you’ve learn about creativity? Jeff Abbott answers: “Inspiration can happen any time and anywhere. Recognize that and be willing to act when inspired!”
Open your eyes. Keep your ears open. You never know when inspiration will strike. Good ideas come to those who pay attention.
And just as quickly as inspiration strikes, it drifts away. So be armed! Keep your Moleskin, your Evernote app and your voice recorder forever at your side. Capture it all! You can filter yourself later.
The final step is the most important. Act! A million-dollar idea is a zero-dollar idea if you don’t act on it. Take the risk. Act on your inspiration! Be amazing!
