Quick Career or Business Ideas

by Laura Lawrence 11 March, 2019

QUICK way to stimulate your creativity and get ideas going...

Make a rapid lists of things you like doing, are interested in and are good at.
List them down the first column of a table with about 6/7 columns.
Head each of the other columns with something which is a trend. You know this better than me but lets say..instagram, mindfulness, algorithms, drones, cyber security...
Ask your brain to think about how your interests and trends could combine.
Go about your day and as ideas pop into your head jot them down. E.g. perhaps golf is an interest and so combined with drones, could you have a business using drones to find golf balls, or capture golfers shots..

This idea comes from Shelley Carson, a Harvard academic specialising in creative thinking.
