IF THERE ARE 3 SIMPLE THINGS WE CAN DO DAILY TO PROMPT OURSELVES TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?

Begin by questioning all the assumptions you have taken for granted. Ask, “Why am I doing this? Isn't there a better way?”

Next, look for what others cannot see. Most of us look at an object or scenario and see the same thing. An innovator looks for what is present but not obvious to the masses. This is called “separating the signal from the noise.”

Finally, whenever you encounter a certain situation, ask yourself two questions: “What does this really mean?” and “How can I benefit from this?”
