Prompt: Action. When it comes to aspirations, its not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen. What's your next step? author: Scott Belsky
I glanced at Scott's book and he talks about 3 ways to bring action. Being or becoming organized collaboration, and be the leader. I can see how these can turn ideas into action.
My next step, this is where we feel shy n' vulnerable. Okay, my next step is to make items that apply the cohesion principle, in my Etsy shop. I see more people notice your store if you make, buy, or sell a selective item.There has to be a united front. It is a marketing tool that gains you attention and gives you, your own creative edge. I have some ideas in the works, but are aware that (k-a=0) I can't remember where I found this, but it is true.
Knowledge-action=zero
Ideas come and go,we have to be selective, pick one or two and try them out. See if we can't bring them into focus, as the momentum builds, allow the process to unfold. I know sometimes we have to scrap it and start again, but we learn as we go. As we dig deep into our creative process, tweaking as we go, something unique can blossom. I plan on digging deep and I know this begins with the Oh, word Organization. I do well for awhile, then push comes to shove. My kids want friends over or some type party and I'm tucking items here and there. I lose my focus. I have learned to take photos and write down baby steps, so when I do have time, to dig it out, my method and motivation isnt' lost.
What about you, what is your next step?

Leigh-I bought one for Mom and me. I always give them for gifts and decided I really wanted one.
Thank you! Yes, this is fitting and part of the process, painful but necessary!
...This is so true. I don't really consider myself a creative person but I've learned that sometimes it's the attempting and the failing that leads to something even better!
Yes,totally digging the holiday background too!

Ciss B-Thank you; It is funny, you never know what you are going to get with these. Sometimes the red ones are pink or white with strips. I think it is always nice to have a surprise!
Kimberly-Thank you! I think everyone has the potential to be creative. Sometimes we just have to view it in different forms. Some people create kindness and organize big events or come up with a great business plan. Some create physical items, some create a better world!~ I bet you are creative, if you think about it!
Wanda-I am happy you like it! I will be by soon and check out your daily motivation! You always make me aware and sometimes see things in a new light, or gentle remind me of matters of the heart.
