In This Episode:
- Make the most of the resources you have: you can be very creative with even limited resources.
- Successes aren’t permanent. Keep going.
- Even big visions are realized with thousands of small steps.
As someone who’s inspired by a big vision, I started my conversation with Josh Linkner talking about how big visions come to life: it’s through taking small steps that add up cumulatively to reach your goal. That’s how impact works too: even the smallest impact ripples out and creates change. Building creative habits to keep creativity flowing in your company starts at the individual level. What are your daily creativity habits? Josh offers suggestions to get you started. At the next level, we discuss building creativity into your teams and company. Don’t underestimate the effect of small breakthroughs – they make for big change over time.
