What’s your greatest creative block?
We all have it. The creative block. The Immovable object that gets in the way of us realizing our best ideas. Maybe you have a lot of them. But what’s the biggie?
It could be a negative force from the outside; people you work with or for, a company’s low tolerance for fresh ideas, industry regulations, whatever. Or it could be what psychologists call inner driven limits; self judgment, fear of failure,… I don’t know, fear of success.
What is it that inhibits you creatively? I’ve been asking this question of people and organizations for years. I’d love to hear from you. If you’re not the type to leave comments at a blog, check out the poll I kicked off last week in my eNewsletter. The poll takes less and a minute.
If you’re leaving a comment, tell us the things that discourage, limit, prevent fresh ideas in your professional dealings. Don’t get too specific with proper nouns. Even cruel, evil people have feelings. And lawyers.
I’ll publish the poll results after I’ve heard enough of your quantifiable bitching. All this may give me some material for future blog posts too.
