How to Unleash Your Creative Genius

In this lecture, Tom busts the "starving artist" myth once and for all. You'll learn the truth about how artists and creative people are some of the wealthiest and most financially successful people in the world, and how changing your mindset can create entirely new opportunities and possibilities for your life.

Tom explains why creativity is a learned skill, and how you can learn to increase your creativity dramatically with a few simple ideas applied consistently.

Ideas are the currency of the future!

Creativity is all about understanding good ideas, mixing existing ideas together and creating something new or different, or applying existing ideas in a new or different way. If you can create new ideas and implement them properly, you can earn a fortune with your ideas, make the world a better place and help others at the same time.

In this lecture, Tom explains the importance of creating a clear path for creativity through getting crystal clear on what you want, where you're going, how you plan to get there, and exactly what your next steps will be.

Tom asks a question that can transform your life, open up new possibilities, and help you create new ideas anytime you want.

In this lecture, Tom shares some key ideas and lessons on the differences between ambition and greed.

Ambition means seeking something in return for adding value and serving others.

Greed means seeking something in return for nothing.

It's time to clean out your mental files!

When you take care of unfinished business, it leaves your mind clear to focus on the future and creating new ideas and projects rather than avoiding the past.

It's time to get focused!

In this video, Tom shares how to get laser focused on what's most important to you right now.

It's time to set goals!

In this video, Tom shares his current best practices for goal setting after a decade of study, practice and trial and error.

It's time to execute! That means turning your ideas into reality.

Ideas are WORTHLESS until someone does something with the idea. As a creative person, we must spend time coming up with new ideas, but we must not get stuck thinking of ideas and never implementing them.

It's in the execution, implementation and taking action that we are truly able to turn our ideas into reality and unleash our true creative genius.

When it's time to start a new project, how do you prepare yourself for success?

Do you take the time to plan out your goals, the end results you want to achieve, and action steps to get you there?

Or do you just jump in and get started without any preparation or planning ahead of time?

Either way, you can be successful. But you might just be surprised how much MORE creative you can be when you take a little time to create a plan for success before you begin a new project.

Walking could be the most underrated and most impactful strategy for increasing your overall creativity, productivity, health and mood.

In fact, research from Stanford University has shown that simply walking for a few minutes can increase your ability to come up with innovative, new ideas by as much as 60%-100%.

How do you plan out your days, weeks and months? Do you know when you'll be spending time on your most important project next? Do you plan out time to think, time to dream, and time to come up with new ideas?
