Open your mind to new things

Do you sometimes feel you are stuck in a rut, not able to see clearly or find solutions to key challenges in your business and in life, or to see new opportunities for what they could be - exciting steps into the unknown? It happens to all of us at some time or other. The solution lies in opening your mind - being open to new ideas and expanding your way of seeing and connecting with the world, expanding your perspective, experiencing new things, and therefore opening your mind to new possibilities. The secret is to start with a few mind-shifting steps to get the ball rolling. Why not get out of your usual work space once or twice a week and into a more unusual, creative environment, such as an outdoor cafe, an art gallery or sculpture park, a trendy co-working space? Why not take your next few meetings in an entrepreneurial coffee shop or tea room, where artisan entrepreneurship is celebrated and like minded entrepreneurs gather to share creative ideas. Or maybe make a point of taking half an hour each morning or evening to read a chapter or two from an inspirational book written by a fellow entrepreneur who has been where you are now. Sometimes all it takes is a few steps to open your mind to new things, and as a result, a world of possibilities opens up.
