The Creative Way (2)

3. Get more information related with your goal.

The best & simple way to get more information is reading. Thebooks,magazine,newspaper,website are unlimited information resource. Read as much as you can about everything possible. Books exercise your brain, provide inspiration and fill you with information that allows you to make creative connections easily.
Read on many topics. It is amazing how many things in a totally unrelated subject can prompt new ideas. By broadening your knowledge into more areas, you make your creativity potential grow. Reading enhances your mental ability and lets you experience the world from a brand new perspective. When we read a book, we let go of our own perspectives and experience the world from the characters that have been crafted by the author.
I have found in my own life that the more I read, the more I want to know. Reading becomes an insatiable desire and an unquenchable thirst.

4. Dialouge your creative ideas and get feed back.

Dialouge ideas with the right people brainstorming can help you not only come up with sacks full of new ideas, but can help you decide which is best.
Dialouge is part of communication. A communication plan clarifies who should learn about the implementation, when they should learn about it and how. A communication plan may also indicate who should not know about the idea implementation, particularly at the early stages.
For instance, if you are working on a breakthrough idea, you may want to keep it secret as long as possible to prevent your competitors from learning what you are doing. On the other hand, you might want to communicate about your highly innovative idea immediately in order to be recognised as the first moving innovator behind the new idea.
Even if you are implementing a personal idea, communicating it can help give you the confidence to see it through to completion. Moreover, dialouge the idea with friends, family and colleagues may provide valuable input about how to make the idea more innovative.
In the dialouge session participants are encouraged to suggest any idea that comes to their minds. During this initial phase it is a firm rule that none of the participants can criticize or react negatively to any of the ideas that are proposed. Following sessions are used to critique the ideas; selecting, improving, modifying, and combining them to produce the final working solution

Asking once is rarely effective, you have to ask many times in many ways. Look at all possible sources of good ideas: your customers, your competition, your peers, the literature, patents, and your own subconscious.
Do people feel safe in speaking their minds and openly offering different points of view?
