I’d Be More Creative If…

Perhaps knowing that other people share many of the same silly roadblocks–and even knowing what some of them are–will help us all move through them.

So today’s post is simple. Let’s put it out there. Just complete the sentence “I’d be more creative if…”

I’ll start us off. I’d be more creative if I more regularly created the quietness in my life that creativity requires.

Now it’s your turn.

    I’d be more creative if I stop listening to the naysayers and doubters and trusted more in my own abilities

    I’d be more creative if I wouldn’t be scared of taking risks and instead start doing all the crazy stuff that’s in my head. Damn I should really just do it…

    I’d be more creative if I asked more questions of myself and of my clients. Chase, thanks for asking such a simple, yet powerful question. You rock!

    I’d be more creative if I would work on one project at a time.
