Chances are, if you are an entrepreneur you will have experienced the inevitable creative slump in your business at some point or another. That moment in time when you have had your foot on the gas for so long that you start to feel burn-out coming on, and your ability to find the essential inspiration for new ideas starts to run out. It’s normal, but it can be frustrating at the time. However, there are some ways to re-energise and re-start your creative process. Firstly, get some perspective back into your life by giving yourself the freedom to try something new creatively that could open your mind and reignite your enthusiasm. Secondly, tune out all the negative noise in your business and personal life so you can really focus on regaining your positive energy and creativity. Thirdly, step out of your environment, get some fresh air and some fresh faces around you. Finally, don’t panic about your creative slump and your lack of new ideas. They will come again once you allow yourself to sit back, try new things, and open your mind to fresh approaches. That creative slump will be over before you know it.
