5. Tap into your creativity.
countless adults move through life thinking “I am not creative,” and speculate “What if?” As humans, we all have the ability to be passionately creative, and sometimes, this need practice. Through the support of tools such as “Five Star Mind” by Tom Wujec, you can begin to unlock and develop the creative potential that lies deep within you. Using puzzles, mind-mapping, word association, and the power of curiosity, you can kindle your intuition, innovation, and creative expression. As Napoleon Hill stated “All the ‘breaks’ you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind-energy into accomplishment and wealth.”

6. Focus!
A great idea can become a incredible and money-making idea when it is given true focus. Your ability to concentrate begins with removing external (phone, interruptions, and noise,) and internal (fear, worry, and doubt) distractions. Creating a brain dump is a first step in the course of focus. By removing all that is in your mind onto paper, you will create the room you need to begin focused thinking. From here, finding a time and place to focus and choosing one main concern to concentrate on will make you more productive and will start your march to greatness.

7. Join or Start a Mastermind Group.
Did you know that Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone were all members of a Mastermind Group? This group of Leaders knew something many of us do not know. They knew that the secret to their success was in their ability to rely on each other for feedback, ideas, accountability, and above all…support! These men controlled much of the industry of the United States during the height of their careers. Innovation and expansion in human thought often result from teams that mentally capitalize on the principle of collaborative thinking. With impulsive expression and interchange of thoughts with folks who are up to huge things in life, a mastermind group can change your awareness, increase your thinking, and can take you to extraordinary levels of inspiration.
