In order to think outside the box …you need to first know what defines ‘the box’. That may seem obvious, but it is not.
Let’s think this through…
The box:
the boundaries:
the trusted habits:
the system…
the norms…
the conventions…
…In your business
…In your thinking
…In your actions
Outside the box:
Challenging how you’ve done what you always did.
Asking the “why” question on things that seem obvious.
No tactics, but strategies.
So,
How to step outside the box:
1- Define the boundaries. Do that. Really. Write them down!
2- Doing (1) will immediately tell you what lies beyond. Explore that space.
3- Kick ass. Put your unconventional hat on. Act out-of-character.
4- Most importantly: think like an entrepreneur-on-dope: think big and then bring it down to practical realities with the mindset of a self-made-man
GOOD LUCK WITH IT!
