Creativity and intellectual property are closely linked. When ideas are put out to a person or community, they are up for grabs to anyone who wants them.
Solutions to parenting challenges, which everyone has, are found by observing and talking. The ideas and solutions are there for the taking and implementing. Moms are blogging, Internet communities are thriving. We just need to go looking.
Business solutions are solved by technology, yes. Tech makes life easier, but many challenges in the workplace and business model must be solved by us. Blake Mycoskie, founder of Toms shoes, found a new idea just in time to help turn Toms profitable from the leg wraps on polo ponies.
It's up to us to look around, think, experiment and act to find creative solutions to life's everyday problems.
Dust Off Sessions Creativity Weekend
The $55 Story
Last June I was able to go to New York to attend a creativity workshop. The instructors had great resumes, the city was amazing and I thought all this would lead to an amazing creative week.
The conference was 3 hours per day for 4 days. It cost $850 to attend. The hotel was $400 a night. New York City was amazing, but the conference was a huge disappointment.
It should have cost $55. I came away from the 12 hour workshop with two new ideas. One of those was a $5 idea, the other was pretty big and is worth about 50 bucks to me.
I met great people and spent an incredible week with my wife and our six month old baby. I had just had knee surgery, so we are hiking around NYC with me on crutches and my wife with a baby and stroller. It was a trip I'd do again under the same conditions in a heartbeat.
This weekend workshop will deliver 10 hours and 45 minutes of creative ideas, motivation and inspiration for the $55 I should have paid in NYC. I have great guest speakers coming who will share their insights and experiences with you.
